What's the fact? That the Star Wars universe is large? That many people are interested in it? That it's complicated?

Hmm, for those reasons maybe Wikipedia should have comprehensive coverage of the subject.

Of course, but there are always extremes that have to be addressed. Here are some better examples:

_http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malachor_V_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malachor_V)

_http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Bespin_%28Galactic_Civil_War%29_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Bespin_(Galactic_Civil_War))

_http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypercomm_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypercomm)

_http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Map_%28Star_Wars%29_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Map_(Star_Wars))

Comprehsive coverage is good as long as it doesn't go into excessive detail. However, it needs to be organized and consolidated in a way that is logical and optimal for a real world-perspective encyclopedia, not a star wars database. Consequently, out-of-universe ("real world") information is required for this (and many other) reasons.
