The Movies

Shaggy giants from an arboreal world, the tall and commanding Wookiee species is an impressive sight to even the most jaded spacer. Despite their fearsome and savage countenance, Wookiees are intelligent, sophisticated, loyal and trusting.

Expanded Universe

Kashyyyk is a world enveloped in immense forests. Inland, the trees are so tall and dense that a layered ecoystem has evolved within its branches. The closer one approaches to the forest floor, the more dangerous and primeval the environment becomes.

Behind the Scenes

The earliest incarnation of the Wookiees can be found in George Lucas ' rough story treatment for Star Wars , written in May of 1973. Unnamed shaggy aliens occupied the "forbidden" jungle world of Yavin.
