Talk:Chewbacca/Legends

Birthdate
Marvel Star Wars states that Chewie was 100 years old in 0 ABY: presumably this is overwritten by a newer source. &mdash; Silly Dan 21:39, 19 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Death image
Do we prefer this promo image from WOTC: ? --SparqMan 18:40, 10 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * I personally prefer the WOTC one. -- SFH 18:47, 10 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, I actually prefer the one I uploaded. It's more dramatic and it's HUGE. --Master Starkeiller 20:43, 10 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * I've scanned and cropped an image from Chewbacca 4 that is pretty dramatic, and avoids the cartoonish style of the current image. Thoughts: Image:Chew45.jpg
 * The current one is still bigger and better, I think. --Master Starkeiller 12:33, 30 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Bigger doesn't matter when it's thumbed in the article. --SparqMan 20:31, 5 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Expansion
While Chewie's appearances were often supporting roles, this article is woefully incomplete. --SparqMan 20:47, 22 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Does anyone know how to handle the new Chewbacca info from Dark Lord? He escaped the slavery on Kash.

I feel that there should be a section in Chewie's page set aside for his life and times with the Solo family. Tales of his exploits with Han, or times when he saves the lives of the Solo children, this sort of thing. Anyone agree? --KeiranHalcyon 20:37, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Chewie's Name
It says his name come from a russian dog,

Is that true, a Japanese woman told me "Chewbacca" was Japanese for "Half Stupid". Double D 02:27, 12 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * "Baka" IS the word for calling some one stupid. I suppose Chu means half. --Falmarin 20:03, 23 Dec 2005 (UTC)


 * Chew ing to bacco ;) --[[Image:BFguy.gif]]--Inmobilus 22:44, 13 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, you know chewie had to be rockin the gonj. just look at him, for christs sake. Yoda1300 18:16, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

His death
Why do fan types get all upset about this sort of thing, just engage in a little krypto revisionism, George Lucas has repeatedly broken the "rules" of the expnaded universe, why not do it yourself and just think of Chewbacca as still alive?
 * Or better yet, remind yourself Chewie is a fictional character - Kwenn 22:46, 13 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Blasphemy! -- Doo Doo 06:34, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Those types of fans are the types who just cannot accept the fact of life that living things eventually die at one point. And Chewie's death further strengthens the point that it is a dangerous war they are involved in, not some simple little conflict where all the bad guys diie, and all the good guys walk away laughing. Adamwankenobi 06:38, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
 * That's called reality. ;) -- Riffsyphon1024 06:59, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Good point, it's not really a drama (if you classify Star Wars as drama) if theres no threat to any major players. Doo Doo 10:40, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Indeed. I was getting tired of the 'Han Luke and Leia fight the Empire and walk away laughing' plots. When Vector Prime came out nobody was invincible anymore and there were some new bad@ss villains.

Death threat
Removed the claim about a death threat until proven. SaintedLegion 17:47, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
