(Via Boing Boing) … “Prequel Generation Questions A New Hope”

The predictable aside (“Wow! Is the Death Star done already? I guess that’s how you know that a long time has passed.” How about the fact that Obiwan is much older? Or the fact that Luke is at least “man size” (if not yet a man…)?) … this is the one that has been bugging me big time since seeing …Sith; as the kid says:

“Is Chewbacca the only Wookiee that survives the Clone Wars?” (with great concern)…

While I wouldn’t jump to the conclusion that he’s the only surviving Wookie (c’mon, we’ve all ready Zahn’s triology, we know that’s not true…), I do have great concerns for why Chewie goes from being a general (or at least some kind of colonel or field marshall) in the Kashyyyk defense and a well-respected member of the Wookie community to being … well, a scoundrel. Who goes from leading the Wookie defense to taking orders from Han Solo? Life Debt or no Life Debt, I just don’t buy it.
