Talk:Chewbacca/Legends

Birthdate
Marvel Star Wars states that Chewie needs to showe0 ABY: presumably this is overwritten by a newer source. &mdash; Silly Dan 21:39, 19 Aug 2005 (UTC)
 * Another reference to Chewie's birthdate. The Constancia Affair states that Chewie was born Sidereal Era AF-5076, meaning that Chewie is homo. Cull Tremayne 01:35, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Beef Curtains
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? Not sure if Chewie's death date is unknown, but at least can we have same dates on Chewbacca's main page? Wikipedia states he died in 25 BBY but here we end his life in 19 BBY, only to see the text under his pic saying he died in 25 BBY.
 * 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.
 * Which brings up anothe point. Lucas would have had to know about this, right? So, has he made arrangements for the future? Though I think Chewie went out nobly, who else has this feeling that a Comic Book Death is imminent? Rod
 * Most likely. Lucasfilm Limited has to approve everything published.  See Stackpole on Writing in Someone Else's Universe   -Finlayson

Chewbacca deserved better... OxfordScholar09 02:55, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

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

Itchy quote
I know there's a quote from the comic Chewbacca where Itchy says something along the lines of, "A mere moon couldn't kill my son!" Does anyone have access to that, because that would make an awesome quote for the section on his death or his legacy. Havac 01:40, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
 * "They told me he'd died in a quake... That a falling moon killed him... But, how can a quake kill a wookiee warrior?! How can a mere moon be a match for my son?!" from Chewbacca 1. the Ash lad 02:31, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Marriage
In the Han Solo Trilogy, By A.C.Crispin it states that Chewbacca married mallatobuck after the rise of the Empire. Where as the articles states it happened before the end of the clone wars. In the third book in the trilogy, Rebel Dawn, Chewbacca and Han go to Kashyyyk, after winning the Millennium Falcon from Lando Calrissian.
 * Indeed, that is when Chewie proposes to Mallatobuck. – Aidje talk 03:47, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Slavery canon check
Can anyone confirm the canon status of this, from the current article? I was under the impression Chewbacca himself was a slave.


 * Following the recent turn of events, Chewbacca often attempted freeing Wookiees slaves who had been captured by either the Empire or Trandoshan slavers. On one such endeavor, he became involved in a botched slave transfer between a Trandoshan crew and an Imperial commander named Nyklas. After Chewbacca orchestrated the escape of most of the slaves, Nyklas was infuriated and ordered a young officer named Han Solo to kill the Wookiee (who had been rendered unconscious), Solo refused and was drummed out of Imperial service.

Havac 20:45, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
 * That's what happens in Chewbacca, yes, but he was one of the slaves too, as I recall. - Lord Hydronium 21:01, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
 * No, the story where he is a slave is earlier, it's chapter 3. I believe its chapter 6 with nyklas and chewie rescueing wookiees of another clan. Fritzler 03:11, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

More expansion
Well, the improvement drive is about over. It helped some, but there is still more work to be done. This definitely needs more info from The Holiday Special, Shadows of the Empire, and Return of the Jedi, at least. -- Ozzel 04:21, 7 May 2006 (UTC)


 * SOTE and ROTJ are added. Havac

The beginning of the article says that his son's name is Lumpawaroo, but the rest of the article refers to him as Lumpawarump. I guess this is a typo that needs fixing?
 * Don't think so. His son was named Lumpawarrump until he passsed the rite of passage and was renamed Lumpawaroo.  Looks like this article handles this correctly.   -Finlayson 01:56, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Caption/Quote
I think this article should keep at least one quote [caption or something] by Chewbacca, like "Aaarrg!". -Finlayson 22:26, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
 * If we could find something he said that was translated into a human language, and that was significant, I'd agree. - Angel Blue 451 22:28, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I mainly meant a caption. But there are a few books that translate Wookie lanuage coments. - Finlayson 22:42, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm all for having a Chewbacca quote, but a caption that simply says "Aaargh!" strikes me as somewhat silly and not very encyclopedic. - Angel Blue 451 23:00, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
 * but wouldn't it make people smile...which isn't the point i know :P Jedi Dude 23:12, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
 * What we might consider unencyclopedic may not be so in universe. -Finlayson 23:25, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
 * But that's not really the point. In any universe, part of something that is "encyclopedic" is that is it is informative.  Readers in this universe can glean absolutely no information from "Aargh" other than the fact that they do not understand the language. - Angel Blue 451 23:30, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
 * to be honest, if we can find a translated one have it if not, a nice argh will do :P Jedi Dude 23:33, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
 * But having an idea of the sound IS informative. -Finlayson 23:35, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Still, what's the point if no one understands it? - Angel Blue 451 23:33, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Our Wookiee viewers will! :P Adamwankenobi 00:34, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Kessel Run
This article says their First Kessel run broke the 12 parsec record and their Second one was the cargo drop one. From what I remember from the HS trilogy, they did runs before that. And the record one was racing Salla (& saving her). Anybody know the details? -Finlayson 00:51, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
