The only pet I’ve ever wanted, aside from all of my dogs, is a Wookie like Chewbacca.
He’d probably be expensive to feed, but what an addition to my Kill Team, once we’ve all gone feral again! ;)
Yes. I know he’s not real. Or IS he? ;)
“Chewbacca’s creation as a ‘gentle, hairy, non-English-speaking co-pilot’ was inspired by George Lucas seeing his own dog sitting up on the passenger seat of his car. It is said that Chewbacca’s name is derived from собака (sobaka), the Russian word for dog.”
“Chewbacca’s voice was created by the original films’ sound designer, Ben Burtt, from recordings of walruses, lions, camels, bears, rabbits, tigers, and badgers in Burtt’s personal menagerie. The individual recordings were mixed at different ratios for Chewbacca’s different utterances. One of the most prominent elements in the voice was a black bear named Tarik, from Happy Hollow Zoo in San Jose, California.”
