Whats with the Wookies?

In my studies I often wonder. One of many is what do Wookies do when they are at home in planet. How did they live? Some thing about them interested Master Yoda enough to frequent and maintain "good relations" what kinda people were they? Their back story. I seen some where here a wookies light sabers. Gorgeous! Wood handle. Out of curiosity and pure enjoyment I ask friends of a Jedi nature . Please indulge and enlighten me?

Depends on the source material.

What are they like a cross between a bear and a human or something?

They probably do what we all seem to do. deal with instinctual drives competing against each for attention in maintaining their individual 'conscious' experience of self identity (internal competition)... and doing so in a social structure with all its types of relationships (external competition), and using that experience of wookieness to communicate about those wookie things in wookie ways.

Maybe just a closer relationship to nature because they might have crazy sensitive smell which might dominate the way they perceive the world.... perhaps having evolved into a more tangible symbiosis with seasonal changes in their environment. So a human like social structure but a bear like group of behaviors.

HEY! We are a strong, noble people with a rich and diverse culture.

Probably a fair bit of time grooming one another.

That's kinda hard to look at lol

Hair Monsters From Space! I like to think of them kind of like Vikings. Big, hairy, brutal warriors with a rich mythology and a connection to nature. And I'll bet they fed on Ewoks too.

I always wondered why Chewy never said anything about knowing Yoda when Luke and Obi Wan were first training on the Falcon. Like, "Hey, I know a Jedi! Little green dude who kicks ass with a lightsaber." He apparently never told Han Solo about it either because Han acts like the Force is a bunch of BS. I imagine that Chewy would have said "hey, dumbass, it's real. I've seen it. My buddy Yoda is a Jedi Master. I watched him lop off a couple heads during the clone wars back home."

And Luke never mentions Chewbacca to Yoda either. It seems like Luke might have mentioned the crazy exploits on the Millennium Falcon and meeting a 7 foot tall angry Wookie for the first time. And maybe Yoda would have said "I know that Wookie!" But, nope.

I guess its a lesson in how to screw up continuity while writing prequels. Way to go, George.

Whatever they are, they're clearly not important enough to get medals.

Please drive through.
