Hawaiian?
Can anyone confirm the rumor that "Wookiee" is based on the Hawaiian word for "very hairy person?" JimRaynor55 09:09, 21 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Name
Here is a off the wall Question for someone to answer, my friend and I are wondering way they are called Wookiees and not Kashyyykians (I know Chewie was created by GL after he looked at his dog Indy) but the Kaminoan come from Kamino, Coruscanti's come from Coruscant ect. any thoughts as to my the planet is not called something like "Wooki" or the race is called Kashyyykians? or are they called Kashyyykians and Wookiee is easier for Humans in the SW Universe to say?
 * Probably for historical reasons like the reasons people from the Netherlands are called Dutch, or Humans come from Earth.  &mdash; Silly Dan  21:45, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * Well what about the Neimoidi&mdash;no wait...Manda&mdash;no that doesn't work either...um...Twi'leks! They're from Ryloth. MarcK 21:53, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * And Quarren are from Dac, Zabrak are from Iridonia, Kurtzen are from Bakura, Herglics are from Giju, Ewoks are from the Forest Moon of Endor . . . jSarek 02:18, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * . . . Bith are from Clak'dor VII, Givin are from Yag'Dhul, Squibs are from Skor II, Baragwin are from nowhere in particular. . . 8) &mdash; Silly Dan  02:35, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

....Vippits are from Nal Hutta, the Mandalorians are from Coruscant, the Killiks are from Alderaan, the Ssi-Ruuk are from Lwhekk, the Myneyrshi are from Wayland.... Hell, I could go on forever. Θ 20:18, 30 Nov 2005 (UTC) i assumed it was because they were smart enough to name there species before an alein race came in and named them and there planet for them
 * The real reason why its not "Kashyyykians" is because it would be hard as hell to pronounce. -- Riffsyphon1024 20:20, 30 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Madclaws
The Madclaw reference is strictly from the Knights of the Old Republic (Video Game), however other aspects of Wookiee history found witin KOTOR is not in the article itself. Yet the Czerka Corporation reference is here, which I believe to be from KOTOR only. -Arono
 * Right. We should've added both KOTOR games to the appearance section before.  &mdash; Silly Dan  04:43, 31 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Vocal Structure
I was under the impression that Wookiees can, in fact, speak Basic. I seem to recall a Wookiee speaking Basic to Leia when she hides from the Noghri, I think that must be somewhere in the Thrawn trilogy. Can anyone confirm if this is true? DanRiley 11:43, 23 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * That one had a speech impediment. QuentinGeorge 11:49, 23 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Aaah, I see then. Thanks for clearing that up :) DanRiley 12:00, 23 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Kind of ironic, innit, that a Wookiee with a speech impediment learns how to speak Basic? But, yeah, it's true that there's a wookiee that speaks basic, and its name is Ralrra I think KEJ 12:14, 23 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Actually, that Wookiee doesnt speak Basic. It's his speech impediment that makes Leia able to understand his Wookiee growling. --Imp 13:50, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Wookiee Jedi and SWG
"George Lucas has decreed that there can be no more Wookiee Jedi in the Expanded Universe." I have not played the game in well over a year but I'm pretty sure that Star Wars Galaxies has the jedi profession open to Wookiees. Is S-Canon considered Expanded Universe? If so Sony Online Entertainment may have a problem...
 * It's probably not a concern, unless they want to add Wookiee Jedi NPCs. &mdash; Silly Dan 01:16, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Why no Wookie Jedi?
Why no more Wookie Jedi? Not that I'm particularly dying to see them in that vocation, but it seems like a pretty arbitrary decree. Do the lightsabers singe their fur? Is giving a Wookie a lightsaber redundant, like giving a tiger a machine gun? That would be pretty cool too, come to think of it.
 * Horororibb, Kirlocca, Lowbacca, and Tyvokka are all Wookiee Jedi. We also have Warkin who's been given a gift by the dark side, though he's not Force-sensitive himself. &mdash;Jaymach Ral'Tir (talk) 00:50, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Sources/Appearance listing
Do we want every single source with Chewie in it to be listed here, or should we follow what was suggested in Talk:Cyborg and just go with the so-called "major" appearances and sources? (I tried to discuss this in Wookieepedia talk: Layout Guide a while back, but no one responded.) &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 05:18, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
