PSA: @WookOfficial is currently voting on whether to remove VIP deadnames and thanks to their insane consensus standard that change is uncomfortably close to failing. If you're an active editor (50+ edits in the last 6mo) they could use your vote pre-3/30. https://t.co/nMHDzrY3Zc
Note that your 50 edits in the last six months have to have been before all of this kicked off, so it's too late to jump in now.
Still really, really stupid, though.
EDIT: And now it looks like the host admin (FANDOM/wikia) has stepped in to say "yyyeah, you're not doing that on our servers. No deadnaming, end of discussion."
DOUBLE EDIT: And now, of course, the Wook admins are bitching about it.
The social media backlash against us is disgusting. You'd think we slapped them in the face and said fuck you.
Yes, in fact, that's exactly what you did. :P

Twitter rando.
The Twitter account you quoted is one of the Wookieepedia editors who was fighting for treating trans people with dignity.
Things seem to have been resolved for the better. Jenny Nicholson has posted a screenshot of Fandom's ruling:
As noted above, the response of (some of) the admins has been to complain about Twitter overreacting and drawing attention to this, and Fandom stepping in and stomping all over their attempt to handle this internally and according to long-standing ~~policy~~.

All the Wookiepedia mods who refused to edit out deadnames and forced a vote on it should get kicked out.
on the one hand, i kind of love the general premise? A bunch of clones on the lam as the republic finally rips the mask off and goes empire is a fun setup. I don't think we've seen much of that era from that perspective before? And you have the potential to address the end of the republic's whole "hey so we created this whole expendable warrior class that is now redundant" thing, which could go in some interesting directions, story-wise
but on the other hand, boy, they're really still sticking with just the one voice actor, huh? For all these boys?
well, at least it looks like there's gonna be more Ming-Na Wen

I wasnt one of those people upset that the mainline movies have been about the Skywalkers. It felt fitting to me and I thought it was fine to focus on that family considering all the other media we got about other characters.
But The Skywalker Saga should be the end of it. Dont keep making movies about the Skywalkers. It's over. Let it be done. Let ep9 be the end and move on to different stories.
Look people there are like four components to this fuckzillion dollar media franchise and Skywalkers is one of em we aint ditching space we aint ditching lightsabers we aint ditching roboslavery and we aint ditching the ding dang god damn Skywalkers!
EDIT: First episode/movie needs to be in Nar Shaddaa
Do this.
Make him an ex-first-order storm trooper instead (like Finn).
Give me post Rise of Skywalker material.
Or, bring Finn back, give a TV series and chart his training to become a Jedi.
Its a shame that Finn would have to be recast to continue making appearances.
John Boyega and Kelly Marie Tran were wasted on the new trilogy.
I actually like TLJ the most out of the new trilogy but the casino world plot thread was fucking terrible and it's only the interactions between Finn and Rose that drag it out of the badness.
I can absolutely see that thing not being particularly rigid and if you swoosh it too fast it'll flop over and then you've got yourself a Schwarz situation.

There are some Asian actors who probably would have done a great job. You could have cast a young John Cho!
Nick Nolte as Han Solo is the alternate timeline we deserve.
Twitter rando.
Still really, really stupid, though.

Now bring me my wine!

Oh, I don’t believe it, but I do believe that Lucasfilm would pivot to trying to satisfy another “wrong” group of fans.
I NEED ONE RIGHT NOW.
Do this.

So basically a big tape measure?
