The beloved "Star Wars" Wookiee takes questions from kids about hair care and "The Clone Wars."
Chewbacca Returns to 'Star Wars' and Answers Fan Questions
He's hairy, hot-headed and handy with a bowcaster. Kids love him because he's like a big teddy bear. Grown-ups value his loyalty and battle savvy. There's no one like Chewbacca, the beloved Wookiee of Star Wars™ fame.Thousands of kids recently submitted questions to the "walking carpet" in anticipation of his debut in the one-hour season finale of Star Wars: The Clone Wars™. Chewie took some time from his duties to answer some of the most popular questions in this Yahoo! premiere video:
Chewbacca in 'The Clone Wars' Lucasfilm In the season three finale, the young Jedi Ahsoka Tano is taken captive and stranded on a planetary game preserve, where she finds herself on the run from merciless Trandoshan hunting parties. With the odds stacked against her, hope for rescue dwindles -- until her escape efforts receive an unexpected boost from a friendly (and furry) fellow captive.
"These finale episodes are among the best we've produced" says Dave Filoni, supervising director of The Clone Wars. One reason: Peter Mayhew, who has played the iconic role of Chewbacca since the original Star Wars in 1977, played an essential role recreating Chewie for the series.
Mayhew advised the animators on the movement, posture and mannerisms of the character he played in the first trilogy and Revenge of the Sith. Filoni said, "We couldn't have done it without him; it just wouldn't have been Chewie."
The season finale of The Clone Wars airs April 1 at 8:00 p.m. on Cartoon Network. Watch Chewbacca in a scene from the episode below.
