I will get smashed for this, but you know, I was never a huge Chewbacca fan. He had “The Original Pimp” hairstyle in “A New Hope”, and I never cared for it.
It was better in V and IV when he teased it out presumably began the 80’s trend for “Big Hair”. Even then though, he still looked to be wearing bell-bottoms, and man, I hate hippies.
You do realize it’s a Hoodie, right? And certain groups claim that just by wearing a Hoodie, hoards of Evil Racist White Gun Owning Klansman will take that as a Right to Gun Down Innocent, Church Going Choir Boys who just happen to be coming home from Practice at 3 AM and they choose to use your Living Room as a Short Cut?
Ewoks eat humans, and I root for humans. So I’m cautious around them.
Wookiees, however, are peaceful and non-human eating. If a Wookiee invites me over for dinner, he’s not planning to have me for the main course.
As for Chewbacca, he was awesome — an incredibly witty character who spoke up for liberty against Imperial tyranny more effectively than any other in the series. Who can forget “Aoacoocwo ohacoo craoarcahwwahoawo anahrhworcaoro wwoorc cwooahurcahaoro wawocworchowo whwoahaoacworc.”

Correction, V and VI…forgot my Roman Numerals for a moment.

While tempted, I realize that I would look way too much more Ewok than Wookie, and thus I resist the urge to buy.

I was Chewbacca in our PTA’s Halloween play “Blythe Park Wars”. Had the full suit. You don’t want to wear it under stage lights.

I’d rather have a tauntaun sleeping bag — I wouldn’t be tempted to use it outdoors, thereby frightening the passersby.

And I just got your Kirk Lazarus reference by way of the post title. Well done, Sir.
