Sweet, as soon as the third one comes out I'm so watching all 6 in a row, that's gonna be a long day.

I was hoping people would care about this I mean anyone who is anyone knows that Chewie is actually DEAD. He was killed off in the expanded universe books. So being able to see him on the big screen again is a nice bit o fun.

I mean we all know Chewie ran the show.

I ignore the fact that the man who so gratefully created the Drizzt character also happened to kill off Chewie in such a manner.

Chewie is so cool!
I mean, he may not have the best lines in the movie, he didn't say more then "BWAAAAAKKK" but still.
He is a classic.

Didn't know he was dead though.
How did he die?

Salvatore crushed him with a moon, using some crappy Gravimetric drive thingy.

Aegis I was always an Elminster fan. Your right though, a Forgotten realms author killing off a key starwars char..

The best person in the Expanded Universe is Kyle Katarn or Corran Horn. It would be Chewie if some bastard hadn't killed him.....

It was the higher ups (Read... Lucas) who decided to go ahead with the story line. If this author hadn't, the next would. I read an interview where Salvatore talked his decision to go along. I will look for it again and post it.

The Star Wars Expanded Universe is piece of stinking rat feces that should be flushed from existence!!!

They constantly try to one-up the movies, they contradict the films, and they miss the central point of the series (it’s myth set to a Sci-Fi background, not Sci-Fi itself!)!

Now that I have that out of my system... Cool, Chewie's coming back.

Geez, talk about overkill.

....and I'm the opposite of what Kayless thinks. (well, almost)

I like a bunch of the Expanded Universe stuff. I won't be surprised if Episode III stinks as much as I and II did.

I'm a die-hard fan of the original movies, but I *really* didn't like Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones.

I actually agree with killing Chewie off in the Expanded Universe, despite how much I like him in the movies. In the Exp. Universe, they really couldn't do much with his character anymore, so Salvatore killed him off. I think it created a much more interesting series of books.
