Chewbaca died!?

[vansau]

Dear Chewbaca,

You were all that is wookie.

RIP

 

[Dr. wonderful]

For those of you who don't know, IGN recently had a countdown of their top 100 Star Wars characters. Now, I know a lot of us don't like IGN, myself included, but I wanted to check it out anyways.

Chewbaca placed number 9, and in his character synopsis one of the IGN editors wrote, and I quote, "In the end, Chewie was able to make that ultimate sacrifice, and Han was left crushed. Chewie was a great friend to all, and his absence left a huge void in Han's life. Heck, it left a huge void in our lives, and we'll never forget the day we learned Chewbacca died."

WHAT!? Chewbacca died?
What the hell? When did this happen? So I looked it up on Wookipidia, and HE DID.

In one of the extended Star Wars Universe novels, HE DIES.

And not only does he die, he dies in a FUCKING EPIC way! He sacrifices himself to save Han Solo's son, Anakin Solo, from a giant fucking moon crashing into a planet!

Thats right, Chewbaca died because he got hit by a moon.
In the end, he got a giant monument on Kashyyyk, and Han stopped talking to his son because he blamed him for Chewie's death.

Oh, Chewbacca, I will miss you.​

Now, this is officially a Chewbacca funeral thread! So, post your pictures, your flowers, your goodbyes and your other funeral-related things. Mourn him!

[HEADING=1]MOURN HIM NOW DAMMIT![/HEADING]​

It is kind of epic that it took a moon and the destruction of a planet to kill him.

You didn't know that?

I mean, wow...just wow.
I mean, yeah it's in the expanded universe and all but that's still no reason for you to NOT know.

Hell, everyone died.

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

A big Wookie roar for chewie.

 

[blankedboy]

Thats right, Chewbaca died because he got hit by a moon.

That's the best one-liner ever.
No contest.

 

[Locko96]

AaaahhHooooooOOOOOOOOOHHHAahaHHHHhahahaOoooooo AHoOMOEeee aaahooooha
(wookie translation)

Amen brother...

OT: RIP: He was a giant carpet~ Leia

 

[Elburzito]

Must not cry! Must not Cry! MUST NOT C *sobs*.

He was my favorite character in Star Wars. I'll miss him dearly.

 

[Zeromaeus]

You know what. All of this happened a long, long time ago. Everyone is dead. Luke, his children, Leia, Solo, his children, C-3P0, even Boba Fett. Not R2, though. He's immortal.

 

[xXAsherahXx]

I didn't know that people here hate IGN. Oh well. Sucks that Chewie dies though.....I would cry if I could.

 

[The Lost Big Boss]

Thats it, I am mounting an all out assault on our enemy. Who is our enemy you ask? The MOON! The Moon wanted vengeance for for being mistaken by a death star, it was so angry that it carried a grudge so long to kill Hon's blood line to get sweet revenge. But like the moon killed sibling, so shall we, we will strike at Lunar, for she has provoked us for too long with low and high tides and coastal flooding. WE SHALL NEVER FORGET! NEVER FORGET!

If it wasn't in the films, it didn't happen. Chewy is alive, Bobba Fett is dead, anything else the books tried to change is non cannon. I'll watch the Star Wars movies, even enjoy them, but anything outside of the films I usually don't enjoy. I don't play the games, read the books, watch the TV series, or read the comics, because NONE OF IT EVER HAPPENED.

Boba Fett is alive and you know it.
Aside from that obvious joke (please don't flame me, I burn easily) you've never played KOTOR? I pity you.

How about this:
We only consider the cool parts of the expanded universe true.
Chewie's alive, Bobaa Fett's alive, Jar Jar got killed by a moon instead.
Also, I've never played KOTOR, I've hear it's good, but I'm still not a huge fan of games based off of films, no matter how good they are.

thats too cool for him. How about instead, Jar jar slipped on a wet floor and falls into an opening airlock and gets shot into space

It is kind of epic that it took a moon and the destruction of a planet to kill him.

This made me laugh, and I agree, if Chewbacca were to die (which he obviously did) that would be the way I expected it to happen.

 

[Zeromaeus]

...
I'm glad no one is bashing R. A. Salvatore. He's a good author.

 

[Peteron]

I suppose this is a rather epic way to die....but...you realize he is a gorilla right?

 

[Nukarama]

That's the way I want to die.

 

[Airsoftslayer93]

yer, i remember that comic, pretty epic way to die, took a whole moon to take out the old carpet, his son is still alive though, which is cool

 

[LadyRhian]

Ayup. This happened about 3 or 4 Years ago. It was one of the Yuuzhan Vong books, Vector Prime, I think. And Han ended up with a new Ryn Co-pilot. For a while, anyway.

 

[Actual]

He didn't get hit by a moon, he head butted it into fragments. Blaze of glory.

 

[Evilsanta]

NOOO!! WHY!?

He will be missed and he did atleast die in a really epic death. And i concur with Actual he didnt get hit by it he head butted it. That the way to go!

 

[Queen Michael]

A poem to honor him in Swedish.

Åh, Chewbacca!
Dig måste vi tacka!
Om ditt mod skall alla snacka!
Pac-man säger wacca wacca!

 

[lyrandar]

I don't pay attention to EU after the movies, to my mind it never happened.
