Behind the scenes

"—specifically thank you to Stephen Zavala, art director and production designer at ILM who reached out to confirm this is in fact a nod to us and Wookieepedia."
―Alex Damon of Star Wars Explained[4]

Space Wars Explained was mentioned on a viewscreen in the 2025 virtual reality video game Star Wars: Beyond Victory - A Mixed Reality Playset,[1] developed by Industrial Light & Magic and published by Disney Electronic Content.[5] The entity was mentioned in Aurebesh via an interactable viewscreen, though capitalization was not provided.[1] According to the YouTube channel Star Wars Explained, artist Stephen Zavala—who wrote all of the in-universe text seen in the game—reached out to confirm that both Space Wars Explained and Holopedia were added as shoutouts to the YouTube channel and the free-to-edit unofficial online Star Wars encyclopedia known as Wookieepedia, respectively.[4]
