Because, ya know, genders are often so confusing in Star Wars, and such things were totally necessary additions.

Like here, the bio for Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader.

There are enough alien species with odd genders that I would honestly find this decently helpful.

At absolute worst it's unnecessary. If you're harmed or outraged by it you're the one with the problem.

I think it's because of the droids. I have a reference book that would always say if they had masculine or feminine programming.

I mean this is assuming what they want to be called as, so Id say its unnecessary.

It is interesting how often people jump to conclusions and assume I was outraged, instead of just curious of hearing CE's thoughts on the matter.

Defensive much?

What pronoun did Greedo use? We always just assume their gender, since we can never find out thanks to Han.

As a person with a functional moral compass and satisfactory-to-decent social aptitude, this is how I feel too.

I just ignore it as I really dont care and it doesnt impact me personally in any way but if I am to put thought into it Id say we are in an ever changing society and if some small change like that makes everyday people feel more inclusion in the world around them and that small change leads to more acceptance for them then ultimately its a good thing even if on the surface some people think its a nonsense tag on a movie character. Thats how I feel.

Feels a bit silly when the pronouns are already used in the character articles themselves, but I really don't care.

The actual more controversial thing about wookipedia is that they write all of their articles in past tense. Because the story happened a "long time ago". But it can get really grating to read things formatted that way. Like when it's not discussing the narrative, just descriptions of things

I just wish the site wasn't an ad-filled pile of garbage like most wiki sites are nowadays.

Its a fucking wiki. Providing in depth information to an obsessive degree is literally why it exists. Why did you make this fucking topic? Did you also need to know their fucking eye color? Was that somehow less evident than their pronouns?

god you people are exhaustingly shitty.

Your first sentence is literally a passive aggressive dig at it, saying it wasnt necessary. Dont pretend to be a fucking fool.

It's redundant and inefficient for 99% of the characters, which is unbecoming of a website with the goal of presenting data in a clear and concise way.

Feel free to list the pronouns for all the characters who don't identify with their gender, but no serious people are questioning what pronouns Darth Vader uses.

Seems pretty clear and concise to me.

Wikis are constantly redundant, my guy.

Memory Alpha, the Star Trek wiki, is the king of this. It's exactly as obsessive and detailed as you expect a Star Trek wiki to be.

Just some random pages:
