I had to use Wookieepedia obsessively when I started writing in the new SW Universe, since everything I'd learned in the past 17 years was basically up in the air, if not completely out the window.
I also used my copy of the Official Star Wars Atlas, which was a little frustrating because the planets from the new movie aren't in it and who knows what other planets still exist BUT in the back there's a section for each movie and it shows what routes they took for each one. So that was very helpful.
I don't mind seeing "fuck" in my SW fic. I'm able to suspend my disbelief at least that far. And there are details in the movie that I found out of place and annoying, so I'm probably not a good barometer of that, lol.
