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.
