Burl Ives supports this userbox.

This user supports the inclusion of all legitimate canon, no matter how silly, into Wookieepedia. However, this does not make him a hyperinclusionist, because the mark of a hyperinclusionist is trying to include asinine stuff that isn't even canon, or splinter articles into such uber-specific fragments that they become useless.

’ This user thinks excessive apostrophe use is silly. I'm lookin' at you, Mando'a.

This dude is also me.

[edit] My Wookieepinions

• Mergist with Deletionist tendencies. Keeping the Wooki safe from fanon and unattested conjectural filler, one VFD at a time!

• "Hyperinclusionist fanwankery" is not intended as a compliment. I wish literalist pedants would stop using it as a misguided rallying cry.

• It's Mon Calamari, not Dac.

• They're Sand People, not Ghorfas.

• Jedi rule, Mandos drool. See item 4.2 below. ;)

[edit] Favorite Quotes

[edit] On fandom

• "...it's just that you spend so much time obsessing over the dimensions of the forest you have nothing at all to say about the trees, or any other life within said forest. " -- Ender_Sai on maximalists

• "Go ahead, try my post again. With brain switched to ON." -- GrandAdmiralJello

• "Rather than tossing around terms like "realism" and "verisimilitude" I prefer to stick with the time-honored phrase "not dumb". I'm fine with all manner of unrealistic stuff as long as it comes across as not dumb. And if something does seem dumb, it will continue to seem dumb no matter how painstakingly you argue for why it might be realistic." -- DarthUr [1]

• "I get a mental image of somebody hunched over a bunch of checlists and timelines ("Lightsaber color established?" check. "Cade saves galaxy?' check. "Roan Fel's family line confirmed?" check.) and not really taking any joy from the ups and down, the setbacks and triumphs, or the character growth within the story. Kinda like keeping intense track of the scores of football games, but without any interest in how those wins and losses came to be." -- Randy Stradley [2]

• "I've never been sure how well Lucas understood what made Star Wars work. I can tell you the core of why Star Wars worked, when so many other similar movies don't: conviction. Look, Star Wars is a stupid movie. I won't bother to spend time trashing it, it's obviously, transparently stupid in so many ways there's no conceivable reason the movie holds together. Except this: Lucas didn't know he was making a stupid movie. He believed his story. He believed it so passionately that he took his tired plot and tired characters and better-actors-than-he-deserved and dared anyone to snicker at it." -- Daniel Keys Moran [3]

[edit] On Mandos being lame

• "I like their unerring ability to pick the losing side. I mean, that's more than just luck. That takes skill." -- Lord_Hydronium [4]

• "I like the way they make nice sturdy walls for Geonosian structures." -- CooperTFN [5]

• "I seem to remember some other Mando combat: Windu vs. Jango, and a blind Han Solo vs. Boba. Galaxy 2, Fetts 0." -- pantsless [6]

• "If anything, the Mandalorians-- if you had a cultural parallel, they're probably more to the Jewish community, in terms of... they are scattered, and they are despised, but needed." -- Karen Traviss

• "I confess I find Ms Traviss' attitude troubling. Though I do find it frustrating that in many venues and on numerous occasions, her rebuttal to queries about her treatment of the Jedi remains to argue against people who want them to 'do no wrong' when in fact, I'm delighted by the idea of a nuanced and imperfect portrayal of the Jedi: I simply don't want a two-dimensional portrayal flipped in the other direction, surely there are ways of expressing that which do not involve directly comparing your readership - who finance your life - to nazis?

  It's okay, she doesn't hate Jedi, she just hates YOU, YOU NAZI! I mean, seriously, that is...actually what she says.

  Is she God's gift to Godwin's Law or something?" -- beccatoria [7]

• "Actually, I happen to have an excerpt to that effect right here:

Etain stood in front of the Jedi Council. Master Windu was yelling.

"How dare you join the awesome Mando'ade, Jedi Tur-Mukan!"

So much for Jedi peace, Etain thought. My Mando'ade burc'ya are much more kandosii. Kal Skirata stepped forward.

"Masters, I understand your anger. But doesn't the Jedi Code forbid that? Perhaps Etain has seen the flaws in your system."

Windu was taken aback. "Osik! You're right! We can all learn a lesson from you, Kal'dira!"

Kal smiled. "Of course I am."

Wow, Etain thought. Kal is so awesome. Not like the Jedi! Like Darman had said, "Her'cis kn'si'sy'a burky'durky".

Kal and Etain turned to leave.

"We'd better go back to base," Kal said. "There's sitting around to do. Those 1,000 clones in the Grand Army won't lead themselves."

-- Lord Hydronium [8]

[edit] On LOLTIFF/Legacy era being lame

• "Basically we have the Sith from JvS fighting the OT Imperials with the PT Jedi in the midst of it all." -- Rouge77 on the Legacy comics

• "one of the biggest things that I hated about LotF was the fact that nothing mattered anymore. It seemed like a railroading DM was behind everything despite the actions of the protagonists. You KNEW you were getting a war, so SIT DOWN and SHUT UP." -- Katana_Geldar [9]

• "I mean, my perception of Star Wars books in the past few years is that they're playing it safe for sales. Instead of making something that a smaller number of people will love and cherish, they're making generally average books that a lot of people will buy. LOTF reeks of committee box-ticking. Sith return - tick. Mandalorians - tick. Recycle movie characters yet again instead of moving onto the new generation properly - tick. Big character deaths to add gravitas - check." -- Dougie_Five [10]

• "By what Ive read it says that 40 years after the real starwars movies, the son of han solo becomes a sith, luke skywalkers son becomes a sith, han solo and leia solo are enemies of the galactic republic or whatever its called, anakin solo dies, chewbacca dies How is any of this possible? <p> Then the timeline skips 100 years, and it turns out theres some new sith who says **** it, I'm going into the TMNT storyline and stealing shredders armor", then procedes to come back into starwars storyline kill some clone council, then find out the person he killed isnt dead and then goes after a decendant of luke skywalker who doesnt use the force and is a bounty hunter." -- Gruntman summarizes the Legacy era

• "To me, the new perspectives on the Force in the NJO felt like a validation of all the havoc that was wreaked on the existing EU universe. I was like, "Wow, it sucks that they've destroyed all these EU places and characters that I'd become accustomed to, but it makes sense since they're going in a different sort of direction. I can't wait to see what they do with it!"

  When it turned out that all they were going to do was say, "Nope, it was all just the same ol' Dark Side" and drone on and on about Boba Fett clones, I gave up on reading the EU." -- Jedi_Keiran_Halcyon [11]

[edit] On why Ben Kenobi is the kriffing man

• "Obi-Wan and Lando are interesting characters because they're good men dealt the rawest of deals on screen. "Hey Lando, we need you to betray your homeboy Han, is that cool? Otherwise we're not only gonna kill you, but enslave your people or just blast Cloud City to bits." How about Obi-Wan: "Hey Obi, I know you're straight as an arrow and still just a young punk, but before I die I want you to promise to take this immaculately conceived, nine-year-old we just took from his single mom who’s the most powerful Force-user who ever lived and has much anger and fear in him as your apprentice. Think you can handle that?" But the beautiful thing is, despite their failures, neither of these guys buckles. They come right back and make amends, Obi-Wan remorselessly chopping Anakin up and training Luke, and Lando saving Han and blowing up the Death Star. Those are heroes." -- Abel G. Peña [12]

• "Obi-Wan is truly the Jedi's Jedi. That small grin he gives Vader just before dying says it all." -- Abel G. Peña [13]

[edit] On Family Guy

• "of course it's difficult to hate the show- it's one of those pieces of shit that protects itself from fanboy hate by being the kind of trash every fanboy attempts to write, and therefore, by default, has to try to protect. it's a fat white guy hiding behind a shield made of reinforced cynicism and star wars jokes that haters only hate because they are 'taking it seriously'. it purports to 'push the limit' and 'smash political correctness', but how can you do either when you have nothing to say, other than what has been said by every fratboy-pandering stand-up dane cooke knockoff before, but with more pedophilia and bestiality jokes thrown in for good measure? family guy is not a response to anything but the constipated taboos and censorship of america. sure, great art challenges perception and attracts controversy, but great art also thrives on a message, on a cause, or at least a good caricature, good art doesn't exist to simply feed on the controversy it attracts. it's the creative equivalent of jerking off into a empty tub of ice cream and surviving off your spunk for weeks. that's why, unlike the relatively more human, if not universal humor of simpsons (golden years) or the office, family guy is only funny to a handful of impotent cocksuckers that are sure they are sticking it to the man by laughing at a gag where a teenage girl with a fragile ego gets sexually humiliated. BECAUSE ITS WHAT THE FEMINISTS DON'T WANT YOU TO SEE HAHA!" -- Kazzer [14]

[edit] On continuity

• "now I see why it was called Clone WARS... we have a Clone War and a paralell universe Clone War... together: Clone Wars" -- CeiranHarmony [15]

• "Leeland's job has to be a lot like playing with legos in a classroom...you build up your castles and creations...you get everything set in a row...and the teacher makes you share the pieces with some other kid, who doesn't respect the glimpse of perfection and symmetry you've struggled to make...he/she either 1)destroys your creation to start over 2)takes your creation and adds some gaudy addition which makes no sense but they did just to make it theirs...3) attempts to hijack all the blocks, at which point you complain to the teacher, who tells you that you've played with the blocks alone long enough, and to come back to them when the other kids is done.

  Of course, by the time you get back, there is little that you can resemble, and you'll never get it back to the way it was...so you begin anew...since this is the addiction of lego blocks.

  This must be what it's like for Leeland with every single book." -- Jedimarine [16]
