The Galactic News Net, also known on Earth as “Twitter,” is alight today with thousands of fake yet hilarious facts about the “Star Wars” universe declassified in a document dump dubbed “#Wookieleaks.” With the Pentagon still reeling after the website WikiLeaks released thousands of classified documents about the war in Afghanistan, the Death Star has become the new target of a rebel alliance of truth-seekers.
Twitter users have taken it upon themselves to release previously confidential “facts” pertaining to the war against the Galactic Empire from “Star Wars, compiling a humorous look at the back story behind the beloved films. For instance, Twitter users have revealed:
