7 Times Chewie Was the Best Thing About Star Wars

Moviefone
May 20, 2018 - 1 min read

"Solo: A Star Wars Story" hits theaters May 25, and while it might be all about Han Solo, we know that Chewie is the real star. Here are seven reasons why he's our fave.

1. He's Always Down for a Good Time

There's no better wingman at the Mos Eisley Cantina than Chewie. He will stay out of your way if you are chatting up a lady (or a droid), and if you get in a bar fight, he will be right by your side. Ready to tear off arms. Plural.

2. He's Rocking Some Straight Up Luscious Locks

Blake Lively, eat your heart out.

3. He Makes Us Laugh, Even Though We Don't Speak Wookiee

Chewie has jokes! Plus, he's a sarcastic goof. His banter with Han is one of the things that makes these movies so delightful.

4. He's Always There for Han

Han makes some pretty dumb choices. We love him, but he's not great at taking the responsible road. But, no matter what, Chewie is sitting in that cockpit, going wherever he is needed.

5. He's a Badass

He's not just intimidating because he's super tall and could take you out in one punch, this Wookiee can also shoot a bowcaster like it's no one's business.

6. He Didn't Eat That Porg

Whether you love Porgs or hate Porgs, we can all agree that Chewbacca not eating that Porg was a hilarious and amazing moment. He could've eaten every single Porg, he has the room. But instead, he became a Porg Mom and we love that.

7. He Is Always a Team Player

When something breaks, who fixes it? Chewie, every single time. Does he complain? Well, actually, yeah he does. But we would, too.
