Some questions about Chewbacca

@Der Trihs

Naw, he just uses the Ewoks for condoms. “Ewoks : Furred for her pleasure.”

Who needs her? The ewok alone is enough!

Mmm, wriggly.

Then why wouldn’t Han Solo say his name in Wookiee if he could speak it? Not to keep harping, but this has bothered me since childhood. Almost as much as what the bathroom at Mos Eisley would look like. There would have to be thousands of different toilets!

I think you’re over-thinking this. Wookie is probably a very tonal language, and “Chewbacca” is the basic-ized pronunciation of his name. For someone not exposed to Wookie phonemes at a very early age, it would be too east to mispronounce Wookie.

And the bathroom at Mos Eisley is probably a hole in the floor with a litter box type thing to accommodate those who physically cannot straddle the hole. That or patrons undergo mandatory catheterization

That’s what I’m thinking. Chewbacca’s real name is probably something like Ohhh-Ack-Uh, and “Chewbacca” is the closest thing that Han can say easily.

I’m sorry…I don’t care who you are…that is just deeply, deeply sexy.

I concur.

Very close to the noise Han makes when he inadvertently swallows a wad of chewing tobacco.

Luke eventually learns to understand R2’s beeps as easily as Han seems to understand Chewbacca. So why doesn’t he respond in R2’s droid language?

Luke I’ll give a pass, but why the heck does C-3PO eschew beeps and whistles for prissy exposition?

Wasn’t he a protocal(sp) droid requiring interaction and commnication with various life forms and languages?

Yeah, but my point is he talks like that when there’s no one around but him and Artoo.

The straight man always speaks in English.

“Straight” man? Only in the comedic sense. But why/how would any droid have any kind of sexuality whatsoever, anyway? Talk about a non-sequitur…
Do protocol droids dream of electric sheep? Gawd, I hope not.

If Darth Vader put him together as a child, there’s no telling.

The real reason they had to wipe the droids’ memory was that C3PO couldn’t stop the “impersonate Padme as sex-pot” ‘protocol’ that Ani programmed in.

Damn, that’s scary.

Why, haven’t you heard of male and female plugs ?

C-3P0 : “Stand still R-2 ! I need to interface with you !”
R2-D2 : “BEEP !”
C-3P0 : “Ahhhh, that’s the ticket, R-2 ! Now do that bit where you rotate your head real fast . . .”

[carnivorousplant]

Shouldn’t someone report that last post?

The reason is that Chewbacca is the Wookie equivalent of Garry Glitter.

That explains why he went into hiding after his hit single, Rock and Roll Part Chew.

Or when I dip my nads in the bowl.
