You mean it's hard to take the EU seriously?

 Yes, but by extension, Wookieepedia is ridiculous because it takes the EU so seriously.

I almost LOL whenever I see the three or four line warning tags indicating an assumption of a certain path in a video game, since they're usually followed by a single line or less. And the quotes they choose... :D

Oh and a one-armed wampa. I dunno how long those live.

 http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Wampa

Wampas were even said to possess, at least in one case, the capacity to retain long-term memory.[15] During the Rebel Alliance occupation of Hoth during the Galactic Civil War, Jedi Luke Skywalker was attacked by a wampa while patrolling the planet's ice wastes, but he escaped the creature's clutches after slicing off its arm with his lightsaber. Almost a decade later, during a return visit to Hoth, Skywalker re-encountered the same wampa whose arm he severed years before.[1] Skywalker claimed that the one-armed beast remembered both him and his lightsaber.[15]

 I just looked more closely at the links in the Wookieepedia article and noticed that "slicing off" linked to its own article, called "Cho Sun", which is "the act of cutting off an opponent's weapon arm" according to the article.* "Cutting off" links to the article on dismemberment, which also gives the examples of "[c]ho mok was the act of cutting off an opponent's limb, usually the leg. Mou kei was a variant generally forbidden by the Jedi since it involved cutting through several limbs at once."

Sometimes it's hard to take Wookieepedia seriously....

*Obi-Wan is noted to have "performed cho sun at least four times".
