Yarua

Yarua was a Wookiee who, in the last years of the Galactic Republic, represented Kashyyyk in the Galactic Senate.

Behind the scenes
Yarua first appeared in the 1999 movie Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace, the first installment of the Star Wars prequel trilogy.

The costume used for Senator Yarua was actually a Chewbacca costume from the original trilogy. It was altered slightly, so that the character would not look exactly like Chewbacca.
