Star Wars spellings
There's a chance you'll end up editing a "Star Wars" story, even if you're just not that into it.
Need to get up to speed? Read this primer from Slate.
I learned that Wookiee has two E's. Anakin has one N. And the planet Kashyyyk, which I'd never heard of, has a "fun" spelling.

I almost goofed Wookiee. We fixed it before sending the front.
I also sent a photo to work and called it "wookie." The scanner calls me immediately. "That's not a wookie," he says, outraged. "That's a stormtrooper!"
Of course, I can't be surprised this exists:
A databank of Star Wars creatures, ships, characters, droids and place names.
Might need to add this to the main entry.
Also, Christy, don't feel bad. A lot of papers have published it wrong.
I wouldn't worry about it too much, apparently proofreading is not a big concern in the Lucas universe. "A capital idea" would have been great for whomever wrote the screen-crawling introduction to have before he described the characters returning en masse to "the capitAl city!"
