Fanclub The Chewbacca and Han Solo Fan Club

Does anyone think that Chewie had a taste for gambling as Han did? We know how Han was about sabacc but maybe Chewie liked to arm wrestle people for money.

 

I don't know if I's want to gamble against Chewie....he might rip my limbs off if he loses and if he arm wrestles someone the same thing could happen. But it would be fun to watch.

 

I don't think Chewie was much of a Gambler. He had to be the responsible one. And the only one dumb enough to arm wrestle a wookiee is another wookiee.

 

Gamble against Chewie? Not me. That is dangerous.

 

I see your point, HanSolo29 and yes he met an heroic end, but it just seemed they did it to sell more books, but I don't know such things and yeah, they like killing off major characters don't they? That's one of the reasons I tend to avoid the EU.

 

I read EU for entertainment only. I don't really believe Boba fett escaped the Sarlacc (sp?) and I don't know how much I believe in Luke starting a Jedi Academy. But it's interesting and fun.

 

Although I read that trilogy they did after he escaped it(the names of the books escape at this point) and it was really good. Now what AOTC did to Fett...not so good.

 

I haven't read that trilogy...I think.... My brother keeps telling me to.

 

No, the one where Dengar rescues Fett after the Sarlacc escape and they reluctantly work together to bring down some space spider named Mudar ahib or something or other and the Bounty Hunting Guild(carp, I wish I knew the names of those books)

 

^^Yeah. Is it the Bounty Hunter wars? Wait, that might take place during the movies.

I love Jedi Academy Trilogy. That's my favorite EU of all time. That and YJK.

 

Yes, I think that's what they were called and yes, they take place during the events of ROTJ.

 

I asked my brother. He's a big bounty hunter fan.

 

Careful, guys, I haven't read thos just yet.

you will be scrubbing these chambers with a very very small toothbrush if you keep spoiling me.



I haven't forgotten about this place. I hope to get a topic up later today, or sometime tomorrow.

Topic Suggestions: The home planet of Han Solo, or revisit Chewie's planet.

 

I would like to comment on both of those subjects, but I think whatever I say will spoil something for you.

 

I skip over a lot of EU. Right now I generally look for stories about my favorite characters. Han, Chewbacca and Lando.

Kashyyyk sounds really cool from what I've read. It's a way different Imp rule than TFU leads you to believe.

 

Wookies are not the only species on that world.
There are other ones.

 

The thing that bothers me about Kashyyk is that in a Guide to the Planets it said that Wookiees had to exclusively live in trees because creatures on the ground were very dangerous and poisonous....yet in comics and ROTS, Wookiees and clonetroopers are able to walk all over the place. I guess they changed it since that guide came out(heck it was ages ago)

 

IMO Kashyyyk changed over time.

In KotOR, the Wookiees lived in trees as the Shadowlands (the floor...) were really quite dangerous back then. Maybe as time went on, Wookiees started to venture down more and thought "Hey, this isn't such a bad place! Imagine a little hut there, nice swimming pool, bar, garage!"

And hey, Wookiees are on the ground

Either that, or George Lucas didn't want the 'idiot' fans to think it was Endor.

 

I have to agree Ludo, I hate that. Anything read about Kashyyyk says it's dangerous on the ground. Because of all the other creatures. But in ROTS they have a freakin' beach???

Kakkay, you would be right about the Endor thing.

 

Ooo, daddy look at the giant Ewoks!

Ahh, they're Wookiees honey.

What's a wooky?

 

Wow, this thread sure got some life back in the past few days.
