Making your way in the world today takes everything you’ve got. That’s why it’s nice to get away to a place where every Wookie knows your name.
If Cheers had taken place in the Star Wars universe, Ted Danson would totally have been a Wookie. With that forehead, how could he not be. The thing is like a billboard.
Chewbacca’s roar. This is one talent I’ve always wanted, along with the ability to rip off the arms of a droid if they beat me in chess, but that’s another talent for another time. This sexy instructional video features an adorable geek chick unveiling the secrets of the Chewie roar. You’ll need to have some sort of control over your oral muscles, something which I unfortunately don’t seem to have and it would help to share the genes of a tiger, badger or bear.
I’m pretty sure the key to mastering the roar is practice, even if you feel sort of silly gurgling all by yourself. The only problem I see possibly facing is explaining away the guttural noises if someone walks in on you practicing.
Such an odd turn of events. R2-D2 finally getting his props as more than just some beeping robot in Star Wars. These R2-D2 themed mailboxes will help celebrate the 30th anniversary of Star Wars this year, and will be spread across America. They might not be a very accurate depiction of the R2 unit, but then again, what could a droid do with your mail?
The website labeled on the mailboxes, uspsjedimaster.com, is still a dead link so the project is definitely not well known yet or even being publicized. This URL title leads us to believe that the postal service will have more Star Wars themed tie-ins as well, in addition to the R2-D2 boxes. Maybe some Chewbacca stamps? I’ve always thought the wookie was an under appreciated character. — Andrew Dobrow
