- CourageWulf, on 09/27/2009, -1/+60It's actually called a Bowcaster not a crossbow. I'm not the only Star Wars nerd on Digg.
- edwartica, on 09/27/2009, -3/+32I know its heresy to mention the unholy Star Wars Trilogy, but I think its fair to mention that Chewbacca saved Yoda's life.
- Razorfiend, on 09/27/2009, -0/+28Chewbacca's wookiepedia page is longer than Albert Einsteins wikipedia page...
- sinf0rlife, on 09/27/2009, -3/+28Yeah, cause i always measure my height in Rhode Islands
- typeunderground, on 09/27/2009, -2/+18boo that was disappointing
- Disgod, on 09/27/2009, -1/+16[Repeating the spoiler FTA]
When they killed Chewie was the book that the Star Wars Universe jumped the shark. I mean, yeah, it was bad ass how he got taken out. Dropping a moon on him was pretty damn epic, but it is Chewie. You just don't kill Chewie. - Vindexus, on 09/28/2009, -1/+14We'd both just be quoting stuff we read online, so what's the point?
- danwallace, on 09/27/2009, -2/+15Lighten up.
- captininsanity, on 09/28/2009, -1/+13WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY BLEW UP THE DEATH STAR, AND WHAT THE HELL IS AN ALUMINUM FALCON!
- chessthecat, on 09/28/2009, -0/+9Now that I think about it, wasn't Chewie in servitude to Han? Solo saved Chewie's life so Chewie had to repay the debt. Basically he was Solo's slave. So the "Help Wanted" ad angle doesn't even make sense.
- protogenxl, on 09/28/2009, -0/+8Why would a Wookiee, an eight-foot tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of two-foot tall Ewoks? That does not make sense! But more important, you have to ask yourself: What does this have to do with this case? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case! It does not make sense! Look at me. I'm a lawyer defending a major record company, and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca! Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense! None of this makes sense! And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberatin' and conjugatin' the Emancipation Proclamation, [approaches and softens] does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense! If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit! The defense rests.
- Shootfast, on 09/27/2009, -0/+8Dugg for "Help needed repairing two-meter wide hole in thermal exhaust port"
- chessthecat, on 09/27/2009, -2/+9Millennium has two n's.
- WeirdEdsel, on 09/28/2009, -0/+7Whoops, sorry. I replied to the wrong person.
- abk0110, on 09/27/2009, -0/+7What was he even in that movie? Same goes for many of the characters in the trilogy, especially the Fetts.
- protogenxl, on 09/28/2009, -0/+7Oh god, he's crying........
- kirbyriw, on 09/27/2009, -0/+6I'm sorry but it has to be mentioned. The repair needed for the "hole" in a thermal exhaust port? A thermal exhaust port is a hole. There were no faults with it per se, other than an innate design flaw.
- MisterGnome, on 09/27/2009, -2/+8Protip: the only moderately funny part is the post-it underneath.
- vpshockwave, on 09/27/2009, -0/+6Mmm. Just finished that book a couple weeks ago. Han wasn't happy D:
- WeirdEdsel, on 09/28/2009, -0/+6Dude chill the ***** out. I'm tired of your HORSE *****. If I ever see you near my family again I'm going to beat your ***** ass, you hear me?
- rhythmchanges, on 09/27/2009, -1/+7Also, please notice the 'reply' button. It's fun for everyone!
- thejackyl, on 09/28/2009, -0/+5lolwut
- GanonApocalypse, on 09/28/2009, -0/+3"n's" doesn't have an apostrophe.
- Disgod, on 09/28/2009, -0/+3I read pretty far on into the series. I just got tired of the downward spiral and the killing of major people. Chewie's death was just the beginning.
@vpshockwave
Definitely. The Thrawn Trilogy is probably the best of the best of the Star Wars books. I have had them since the early 90s and still read them about once a year or so. I've read them so much the hard bound copies I have are falling apart. - Mnementh2230, on 09/28/2009, -0/+2Agreed, the Thrawn Trilogy is awesome. Anyone have any opinions on the latest batch of books - Fate of the Jedi, I think it's called?
- FinalStriker, on 09/28/2009, -0/+2Hey, hey, hey, hey. C'mon. C'mon, don't do that. Just - just. Look, you know, I'm just dealing with a lot of crap right now. Death Star blown up by a bunch of *****' teenagers, you know? I didn't mean to snap.
[makes "jack-off" motion]
Oh, uh - just get back here. OK. OK. Bye. I... um... I...
[whispers into phone] I love you, too. - glasszach, on 09/27/2009, -0/+2"this makes John McEnroe fit somewhere between Mother Theresa and the purple Teletubby."
- Mnementh2230, on 09/28/2009, -0/+2Apok met Salvatore at a book signing a few years ago, and as he was the last guy in line, he had a bit of time to chat. Apparently they made him sign a contract saying that he would have to kill a somewhat popular character before they told him who he was going to kill. They told him it was Chewie, and Salvatore knew it was going to be bad.
He got death threats because of it. - vpshockwave, on 09/28/2009, -0/+2I'm on book 9 of the NJO. I read the first three years ago but didn't have time to keep going. Definitely worth the read, though if anyone wants to read star wars books post RotJ, you should definitely start with the Thrawn trilogy.
- battmutler, on 09/28/2009, -0/+1Indeed. The life debt is an important aspect of Wookiee culture.

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Life_debt - rpapi100, on 09/28/2009, -0/+1Good book series overall IMO. Enjoyed it alot. The Yuzhang Vong (can't remember the spelling lol) were pretty sweet compared to the empire's troopers. At least they could hit ***** AND take on the Jedi order and the whole organic tech was interesting. As for Chewie, I guess it kinda sucks they killed him. Not because I liked Chewie that much but because Han became kind of a pussy because of it.
The first few books are good, and the later ones excellent, too bad the ones in between sucked real hard. - inactive, on 09/28/2009, -0/+1Dugg for going to the trouble of copypasting th entire chewbacca defense.
- LarkStew, on 09/28/2009, -0/+1Dugg for 'terrifyingly gigantinormous'
- Foenetik, on 09/27/2009, -2/+3woo! more garbage from cracked!
- protogenxl, on 09/28/2009, -0/+1Yeah, we can get it done tomorrow if price is no object.
- Tauntulas, on 09/27/2009, -1/+2yeah, that spoiler ruined my life.
totally should not have been mentioned - gordonp, on 09/28/2009, -3/+3I misread that as "the Farts".
- marvelheng, on 09/28/2009, -0/+0like it
- apcfreak, on 09/28/2009, -2/+2@Vindexus
Oh ... SNAP! - rheaume, on 09/28/2009, -1/+1Buried
- thecliffbar, on 09/27/2009, -10/+9That wasn't even funny.
And how is "Rhode Island" a length? - DougHenryII, on 09/27/2009, -4/+2warm apple pie
- jayhawk88, on 09/27/2009, -6/+4What a Wookie!
- Nubli, on 09/27/2009, -7/+2Cracked.com sucks.
- dzneill, on 09/27/2009, -7/+2Because YOUR FACE.
- pacman122, on 09/27/2009, -21/+7You tell me about Star Wars and I'll tell you what a vagina feels like.
