John Crichton 4 Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 It's been well established in the EU that Wookies live in giant trees. I don't know about the Holiday Special, thankfully I've never been tortured into watching it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewdog1 50 Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 Even though they live in trees, the Wookies are much more tech advanced than the ewoks.

"But more important, you have to ask yourself what does this have to do with this case. Nothing. Ladies and Gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case. It does not make sense. Look at me. I'm a lawyer defending a major record company producer and entertainer and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca. Does that make sense? Ladies and Gentlemen I am not making any sense. None of this makes sense.And so you have to remember when you're in that jury room deliberating and conjugating the Emancipation Proclamation, does it make sense? No. Ladies and Gentlemen of this supposed jury it does not make sense. If Chewbacca lives on Endor you must acquit.I know he seems guilty. But ladies and gentlemen this is Chewbacca. Now think about that for one minute. That does not make sense. Why am I talking about Chewbacca when a man's life is on the line? Why? I'll tell you why. I don't know. It doesn't make sense.

IrishCal24 0 Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 They only go down to attain his MalehoodUmmmmm.......what?On second thought, don't answer that.NeilLuke is actually mistaken, in traditional coming-of-age trial, male Wookiees much venture down to the surface of the planet and return having retained (not attained) their ?malehood?. I believe it's something to do with wild predacious beasts and trying to avoid undergoing the most brutal circumcision ritual ever concocted. Unfortunately, many young male Wookiees have returned from this savage trial having lost much more than their "malehood" which requires their gender to be completely re-assigned and, thus, failed to achieve their rightful status as adults.

IrishCal24 0 Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 In other words, it's to see whether they've got enough balls.In truth, its purpose is to determine whether or not they can return with them fully intact, along with the rest of their genitalia, of course. The rather barbaric custom is not so much a test of the masculinity and maturity of young male Wookiees as it is, at its most basic level, a method to filter out the weaker specimens in effort to keep the species strong and virile. If any young male Wookiee refuses to venture down to the surface of the planet, a surgical team is standing by to remove his genitals right then and there. After all, such obvious cowardice is exactly the type of trait that could potentially pollute the gene pool, which could result in the destruction of the race and, therefore, must be eliminated.
