''Great, Chewie... Great.'' A Wookiee is a rare sight but a resident from Kashyyyk - one you might happen to know - will appear in the third season finale of Star Wars The Clone Wars. Yep, get growling for Chewbacca.
With no word yet from The Cartoon Network (DStv 301) on when the 3rd season of Stars Wars The Clone Wars will be starting in South Africa (and I just asked them directly again), comes the news that one more of the iconic Star Wars characters will be showing up for the first time in the Star Wars The Clone Wars animation series. The third season of 22 episodes will end in America on 1 April and Chewbacca will show up in the season finale's last two episodes.
The New York Times is first to report Chewbacca's appearance, adding that actor Peter Mayhew who starred as Chewbacca in the live action films not only did the voicework for the upcoming episodes but also recently helped the animators with drawing the digital Chewie. He explained and showed them Chewbacca's peculiar walk, mannerisms and body language like head movements as well as vocabulary.
