Editorial standards
How the wire stays honest.
Affarion is run by fans, not a studio. The wire holds itself to four rules. Each one shows up on the page, on the byline, and in the tag. Read the full content policy in the About page.
We are not tied to Lucasfilm or Disney. No gatekeeping. All fan backgrounds welcome.
- 01Spoilers stay flaggedEvery dispatch carries a clear spoiler line. Big plot beats wait behind a click.
- 02Sources are namedWe cite the comic, the novel, the panel, or the showrunner. No vague rumours pass.
- 03Canon and Legends markedIf a fact lives in Legends, the tag says so. If it just landed in canon, that too.
- 04Independent fan siteAffarion is not tied to Lucasfilm or Disney. The reads are ours. So are the mistakes.
