The article explains most, really. If there are things you don't understand, ask for specifics.

As for being a Star Wars fan... there are undoubtedly already several other Wookieepedia editors that have subscribed, including admins and stars. I've met some, and they know their stuff. Also, they're not blocked on Wookieepedia.

Try aiming for a smaller subject where you know most about. If you're an admin or poweruser on a franchise-specific wiki, go for that.
