| - This is a big opportunity for Wookieepedia. Like we've explained with Wiki Modernization, Featured Videos are being used to reduce the number of overall ads per page. Pages with a Featured Video will have even fewer ads on them. So if you're concerned about the number of ads per page, then just know that most of Wookieepedia's highest traffic pages will have a significantly reduced number of ads. That’s a much-improved user experience. Plus, they're just well-made videos in general and a partnership between Wookieepedia and Star Wars Explained will bring even more readers and potential contributors to the site. Let me know if you have any questions! - Brandon Rhea(talk) 18:31, June 19, 2017 (UTC)
* Nice, love his channel. Will there be any calaborations between him and Wook proper, or just through FANDOM? - File:Imperial Information Office.svg AV-6R7Crew Pit 19:00, June 19, 2017 (UTC)
* What kinds of collaboration were you thinking? - Brandon Rhea(talk) 19:37, June 19, 2017 (UTC)
* Perhaps things like interviews, fact videos, etc. - File:Imperial Information Office.svg AV-6R7Crew Pit 20:00, June 19, 2017 (UTC)
* I saw some of the videos that he has, and I saw this timeline Legend/Canon, but from Legends it doesnt conver too much the Old Republic era, maybe some collaboration to make this era more known (for example SWTOR video game)--DarthRuiz30 (talk) 20:29, June 19, 2017 (UTC)
* Fact videos or interviews could be interesting, if there's a place for them to live on the wiki or on FANDOM News and Stories. In regards to SWTOR, speaking strictly in terms of this partnership, very few of the top pages on Wookieepedia are related to SWTOR. The ones that are—Revan, Satele Shan, Bastila Shan, and Darth Malgus all come to mind—have videos that we'll be using. The Malgus video is already live. - Brandon Rhea(talk) 19:20, June 20, 2017 (UTC)
* The partnership will focus on top pages for the moment only?--DarthRuiz30 (talk) 19:25, June 20, 2017 (UTC)
* Yes. My team has to make slight tweaks to the videos to remove YouTube-specific elements, so right now we're using our resources where they will be the most effective. - Brandon Rhea(talk) 19:34, June 20, 2017 (UTC)
* Sounds good, I take my back with previous comment it does looks good. Asked my little brother about what he thought about the Malgus video and finded useful and informative. --DarthRuiz30 (talk) 19:43, June 20, 2017 (UTC)
* That's great! - Brandon Rhea(talk) 19:44, June 20, 2017 (UTC)
* Sounds good, although I never like SW Explained or the videos that appear on certain pages, if it helps wookieepedia those are great news and happy to hear them--DarthRuiz30 (talk) 19:38, June 19, 2017 (UTC)
* Would it be possible to have him do a "Wookieepedia Explained" video or series at some point giving tutorials about some of the basics of editing here? It might give people more confidence to become new users and could be a handy place to direct new users who haven't grasped some of our rules or policies yet.

* I second Ayrehead's opinion that a Wook tutorial video would be helpful. I remember joining the Wook and being overwhelmed by the editing, structure, policies, and format of the whole site. I feel like a lot of people want to contribute but simply don't know how or are too afraid of "screwing up," like I was. With that said, the Star Wars Explained partnership is wonderful. I've been using him for info more times than I'd like to admit. File:Icon Faction Imperial.pngCommander Boots 11:00, June 22, 2017 (UTC)
* I'm not sure if he's the guy to go to for better how-to edit videos (unless he wishes to host Fandom created ones), but I would love to see Alex and Molly do a Wookieepedia Explained (history, what it is, how it works). Heck, that video could be displayed on the Main page itself! --ChristopherLeeGallant (talk) 21:31, June 26, 2017 (UTC)
