My Wookiee / Chewbacca Impersonation.

My Wookiee/Chewbacca impersonation.

The Wookiee language is called 'Shyriiwook', apparently.
Wookiees come from the planet Kashyyyk.
Star Wars sound designer, Ben Burtt, created Chewie's voice, using many animals, including a black bear from Happy Hollow Zoo in San Jose, California named 'Tarik'.
George Lucas' dog, Indiana, was the inspiration for Chewie, as well as for the name of Indiana Jones.
The Chewbacca costume, made of knitted mohair and yak hair, was designed by Stuart Freeborn.
Chewbacca did not appear in Star Wars Episode I or II, but was played by Peter Mayhew in the other four episodes.
