A source was merged Star Wars online database, Wookieepedia and international superstar Taylor Swift in the most hilarious way, connecting the world-famous singer/songwriter to one of the most powerful and terrifying villains in the entire franchise– and it’s shockingly apt. Just like its online encyclopedia, Wikipedia, Wookieepedia pages can be edited by the public and an anonymous user. Star Wars and Taylor Swift fan made the most of it. On Abeloth’s page, a Star Wars Legends character linked to the Mortis Gods, almost all of the section titles belong to Swift’s songs and lyrics, especially from Midnight album.
This is a particularly brilliant joke because, as Taylor Swift fans know, Swifties Refer to Taylor Swift as ‘Mom’ a name directly connected to Abeloth’s title as the Mother in Star Wars Legends. It’s also much more than a joke; Like Swift’s “Anti-Hero,” Abeloth is convincingly complex. She started out as a mortal, but because she wanted to be with her family, the Father, the Son and the Daughter – all immortal gods – the Mother drank from the Fountain of Power and bathed in the Well of Knowledge, transforming her into Abeloth. .

The best references in Wookieepedia’s Taylor Swift Easter eggs
The section titles on Abeloth’s Wookieepedia page are a combination of straight-up song lyrics and Taylor Swift puns, and they’re actually hilarious. As mentioned, there is an explicit connection between “Anti-Hero” and Abeloth, and many of the titles address this directly. Titles like “Enter the Antihero”, “Monster on a Hill”, and “Covert narcissism” draw connections between this Midnight song and Abeloth Star Wars historyand although the titles are funny, there is something that rings shockingly true about them.
Although the titles are funny, there is something that rings shockingly true about them.
Other titles are simply straight jokes, such as “Enemy on the Beach,” a joke with Swift Midnight song “Snow on the Beach” and “Lavender face,” a direct change to “Lavender Haze”. There are also several titles that are hilarious when applied specifically to Abeloth, such as “Someone sweet, kind and fun?” There’s certainly nothing sweet, gentle, or funny about Abeloth, but mostly the fact that it’s phrased as a question makes it incredibly funny.
Abeloth could be a big part of Star Wars’ future
What makes this Wookieepedia page even better is that Star Wars prepared Abeloth to become very important in the near futureespecially after the Ahsoka end of season 1. THE Ahsoka show heavily incorporated imagery of the Mortis Gods, and given the connection Ahsoka Tano already has to the Mortis Gods, the Daughter in particular, this makes it much more likely that they are returning to Star Wars soon, maybe as soon as Ahsoka season 2. This could very well mean that Abeloth is coming to the Star Wars screen coming soon.
While these changes to the Wookieepedia may have been done in a fun way, they still affect Abeloth’s character and potential importance in the future. It will be interesting to see how exactly, if at all, Ahsoka or others nearby Star Wars shows and films embody this character. However, this brilliant mix of Star Wars and Taylor Swift is really enjoyable to read.
