If Leia puts that medal on Chewie in IX I'm gonna lose it.
In all honesty, my favorite movie character of my lifetime. Going back to the summer of 1977 when I was 3.5 years old and watched ANH sitting on dad's lap with him, my brother, and my mom pregnant with my younger brother. He became my favorite then and it never changed.
And talk about coincidences. My wife is a middle school librarian in the town we live in. It's book fair week. She did Star Wars for the theme. We have a neighbor that is really well off and huge SW fans and they get all these high dollar costumes. She got them to loan out the Chewbacca costume for the book fair and every day this week someone has been in front of the school in that outfit waving to kids and parents and trying to get people to go to the SW book fair.
Literally no one in 1977 could have imagined the down stream cultural impact this would have. We're in mediocre size Texas town celebrating SW with a Chewbacca outfit this week. Unreal. Amazing.
