Chewbacca

Now only god knows how Han Solo Understands Chewbacca - but why doesnt anyone else in Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back, or Return of the Jedi Understand him ??

My friends and I call a teacher at my school, Mrs. Strow, Strowbacca. You should hear her. It is like talking to a wookie.

Perhaps they don't speak Wookese (or whatever language wookies talk). Maybe you don't speak wookese either emplynx.

By the way, is she hairy?

marajade · 03-29-2002, 12:24 AM

Actually, Han does know how to speak Wookie, or at least understand it.

Nobody else in those 3 movies speak it or understand it though.

Han speaks wookie cuz his nurse was one. Jacen, Jaina, and Anakin sorta understand him in the later books.

In the HanSoloTrilogy they list the Wookie languages but I forget what they are.
Tolkien would probably know if the book had been written while he was alive.

TwirlingString · 04-16-2002, 03:20 PM

There's more than one!? I didn't remember that! I've read the trilogy they are mag.

Beleg Strongbow · 04-18-2002, 11:41 AM

Yeah...
The Han Solo Trilogy
(10-0 years before A New Hope)

The Paradise Snare
The Hutt Gambit
Rebel Dawn

I didn't mean books, I've read them all, I meant languages. Don't you love the way he freed Chewbacca? Who did you more his first companion or Chewbacca (at first I mean)

I don't understand.

Umm... k. In the Han Solo Triology his first partner was a cat being, then he went off to get married. In book 2 he runs off with Chewie who is a slave and completely abandons all hope for an Imperial carrier.

Oh. Murrgh. I get it. (people who mess with vB code shouldn't throw stones)

Well, I would have to say that at first Murrgh was a much more interesting character.

TwirlingString · 06-09-2002, 05:37 PM

I like Chewie better. Why was Murggh a more interesting character?

Llark silverwolf · 08-05-2002, 09:56 PM

luke and others understood chewie and so did lando when he was telling him to stop strangeling him lol least i think they did i think leia did too but not really sure

Beleg Strongbow · 08-29-2002, 01:03 PM

murrgh was a baddie at first
