Wookiee
Wookiees are a fictional species of intelligent bipeds from the planet Kashyyyk in the ''Star Wars'' universe. They first appeared in the film ''Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope'' in 1977. The most notable Wookiee is Chewbacca, a companion of Han Solo.
==Inspiration==
According to an interview with creator George Lucas, the inspiration for the Wookiee was Lucas' dog, Indiana (whose name is used in the Lucas-inspired Indiana Jones movies). "He was the prototype for the Wookiee. He always sat beside me in the car. He was big, a big bear of a dog." During the climactic chase scene in ''THX 1138'', one of the robotic cops, voiced by actor Terry McGovern, says: "I think I ran over a Wookiee back there", and thus the word was born.〔(IMDb THX-1138 trivia )〕〔(Microscopics.co.uk article on Wookie )〕〔(Binarybonsai.com article on George Lucas )〕〔(Terry McGovern's Star Wars page )〕
In one episode of Animal Planet's series ''Animal Icons'', focusing on the creation of ''Star Wars'' figures, it was revealed that the Wookiees were also based on orangutans and lemurs, which are long-haired creatures that live in a warm forest climate. The net effect in terms of the Wookiees' appearance is a marked resemblance to descriptions of the legendary Sasquatch of the Pacific Northwest.
