Chewie is looking well for for his age :whistle:
Ah but how long do Wookies live for? Maybe they live for centuries hence Chewie still being relatively young.
Edit - in fact after a quick Google, Wookies do indeed live for around 400 years.Therefore Chewie's still youthful appearance is perfectly normal.
QuoteLife cycle
Wookiees were a long-lived people, with a lifespan of several standard centuries. While they outlived many other beings, the Wookiees did not live as long as other species[20] such as the millennial Gen'Dai.[31] Infant Wookiees would remain in the nursery rings, where they learnt how to interact within their society and were taught to appreciate Kashyyyk’s wildlife. At the end of each school day, the parents would take their pups home so they could create and maintain a sense of family. Later in life, the children would stay home full time with the rest of their kin, and were given their first responsibilities in life in the form of housekeeping chores.[14]
Around the age of twelve, the males would perform an initiation ritual that made them enter young adulthood. In most parts of Kashyyyk, incumbents to the coming-of-age ritual had to gather silk fibers from the center of a carnivorous syren plant.[14] In other regions of the planet, young males took the Test of Ascension, known as hrrtayyk in Wookieespeak.[32] During that ceremony, the youth was expected to unlock his rrakktorr, or inner strength,[15] by learning how to survive in the Kashyyykian Shadowlands, the dangerous ground level of the forests.[32]
From the age of 18, the Wookiees were viewed as full-fledged adults,[13] and were considered in their prime around the age of 200.[7] Throughout this lengthy period, Wookiees were expected to embrace a career and find a regular source of income so they could marry and found a family of their own.[14] Subsequently, Wookiees were qualified as "middle-aged" by 301â€"350, "old" by 351â€"399 and "venerable" at 400.[13] Elderly Wookiees were normally cared for and admired for their accumulated wisdom.[14]
Ya learn something new every day ..Cheers Redd he should be good for a few more sequels in his prime.
Nice video, :D
I guess if I was forced* to endure another couple of hours George Lucas I'd sob like a baby as well. And before the Star Wars FanBoys kick off, this is the man who gave us Ja Ja Binks and kick started Hayden Christensens career. There can be no forgiveness.
(*see what I did there..... oh never mind)
Truth be told, I like Jar Jar Binks.
Sure he's an idiot sometimes, but man does he crack me up, especially during the Naboo battle.
