Wookieepedia's name is a parody of "Wikipedia," referencing the word "Wookiee"—the Star Wars character Chewbacca's species—but Wookieepedia is neither affiliated with Wikipedia nor the Wikimedia Foundation, which hosts Wikipedia and the MediaWiki software used by Wookieepedia. Wookieepedia is likewise not affiliated in any way with Lucasfilm, The Walt Disney Company, or any of their affiliates or subsidiaries.
