For reasons unknown, I've recently become obsessed with Chewbacca. I don't know what it is. He's just...he's just so freakin' awesome. I was never a huge Star Wars fan, but always enjoyed the ORIGINAL material, not the last three junk-filled crapfests they called "movies". More like...uhh...turdvies, or suckvies. Ok, that's the best I could come up with...sorry.

Anyway, back to the subject. I put this under the category of "pets and animals", 'cause Chewie is sort of an animal...I guess. Well, he's a Wookie so I dunno if that classifies him as an animal or not. This blog isn't going anywhere. But then again, none of my other blogs do either. Hooray random word stringing!

Engage poor grammatical structure. On screen! Ok, that was a Star Trek reference just to geek you out, yes you there...I see you. Stop making that face! I was never a huge Star Trek fan either. But I've seen my share of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Anywho, what makes Chewbacca so great? Well for one thing it's that wacky language of his and his Wookie counterparts: Shyriiwook. No, I did not know that was the name of their native tongue, so stop laughing jerk. I had to Google it to find out. But man, there are few movie sounds greater than those growl/howl/whatever sounds they make. Hrgghhghghlglghgh!!! That's what it sounds like. Go ahead, try it. I'll wait...try it again, that kind of sucked...ok, that was a little better...there ya go. Fun isn't it? I've honed my Chewbacca impression to the point of audible doppleganger...ness. Yes dopplegangerness.

And another thing: He has a freakin' crossbow. How cool is that? When all the other dolts are brandishing light sabers and blaster rifles and such, good old Chewie has a stinkin' crossbow. And a blaster crossbow at that! It looks like a crossbow, but it shoots freakin' blaster...uhhh...blaster...things, yes blaster things.

So in summary: 1. Chewbacca is cool. 3. He makes neat sounds. 3. I am an idiot.
