Chewbacca is the most realistic 'alien' character in every way. Not once, does he look or feel like a man in a furry suit. Peter Mayhew portrayed him with just his eyes and a tilt of the head and the chemistry between him, Harrison, Mark and Carrie made us believe in him, love him and wish he was their best friend. Joonas has done a good job succeeding Peter and his reaction to Leia's death was the ONLY emotional moment in the ClusterF that was TROS but he does not have Peter's/Chewie's eyes or height and you can tell. I would give him an A+ all day long, especially for that moment in ROTJ when he pulls a rebel comrade to safety by the scruff of the neck. I love that that Wookiee!

[@hannahpreece3651]

Unless there is. Maybe intuitively Chewie senses Rey’s connection to Ben. Maybe they had long talks on the falcon. He did after all fill in what she was trying to figure out to say to say to Finn. This is about their relationship. Don’t forget Chewie is used to losing humans. They live for such a short time. Han would have left the ship to Leia, to eventually give to his son who he was hoping to save even with his last breath. We don’t know what Rey says to him after she gets back. He is probably the only one she would bother to tell that Ben returned to the light and that they were a Dyad in the Force. He goes along with the plan to save Ben Solo because he knows that’s what Han would have wanted after Rey convinced him there is still hope. Chewie loved Ben, that’s canon.

I think a lot of the people saying "Chewbacca is static, a side character, he should get a C or lower" are sort of missing the point. As a side/supporting character, he fulfills his job perfectly. Not every character needs a long arc where they change. While I wouldn't say he's a better character than say Luke, I think it is fair to say that he was nearly perfect at supporting and making the overall story better, and does all he needs to to be a great character (and more). EDIT: I mean this in the context of the OT. Like Thor said, in the OT Chewie was treated as an actual character, while in the ST he was a space taxi.

[@hydreigon2709]

Yeah but that doesn't exclude chewie being a C. It's not about how iconic the character is, or how good he fits his role.

Also I'm talking mechanically in the story, not role/personality level stuff like "space co-pilot dog". Grevious serves as a minor antagonist. He does it well in ROTS, but imo not perfectly, so no, I don't think he's an A. "Take of the nostalgia goggles and recognize, that chewie doesn't deserve to be over Anakin or Maul" I'm actually not more nostalgic for the OT than I am the PT.

You guys just love crapping on the ST. When you guys talk about how the ST disrespected Luke I can see where you're coming from there, but the other OT characters? None of them have this drastic change in character they're just pushed to the background (not entirely like with Leia and Han), but they're not the focus it's about the new characters. We already got their story in the last trilogy. Now granted the new characters aren't that great which is disappointing because they had so much potential, but that's a problem with the character development as a whole not disrespecting the OT characters. Chewie does the exact same thing in this trilogy as he did in the last he just has less screen time which again is because the OT characters aren't the focus. I get not liking the sequels they aren't good movies I will admit but you guys just take your hate to the next level and it seems like you intentionally ignore all the good aspects, and you say the ST is the worst thing to ever hit cinema and what not. The prequels aren't good movies either and I strongly dislike them, but I still look for the good in those movies.

Every other jedi in existence is forgotten or only gets 1 line of dialogue in ep9 when it should have been force ghosts. Actually now that i think about it, other than the B1 battle droud in the background and the jedi saying 1 line, the prequels are completely forgotten.

Chewbacca is the one character who shows unconditional love to those he considers friends, even if said friends don't treat him well. Take Leia for example. In the movies, one of the few lines she speaks directly to Chewie is to call him a "walking carpet". Outside of that, she mostly ignores him as if he isn't in the room. Yet Chewbacca is always there as the gentle giant that she can fall back upon. He even is willing to allow himself to be part of a rescue plan involving Leia where she seems willing to abandon him. Yet when she dies, Chewbacca, despite her rather detached attitude towards him, is shattered by it.

Something that always disappointed me was the Chewy and Luke never got a scene together in the Last Jedi. I know the two of them were never the closest but the loss of Han should have given a scene between the two. How fun would have been for the two of them to be telling old stories of Han together and reminiscing about him. Maybe it would have been out of place but it's still just something. Instead Luke seems to actively avoid Chewy after the first time he meets him. While Chewy just stays at the ship and failing to guard it from the Porgs.

The Falcon should’ve gone to Chewie he was background of a background in sequels

[@BallinProductionDogs]

Chewie always gets screwed over

[@darkflamepro]

Chewie is great and OG but he shouldn't be above Anakin lol

[@JoshuaWillis89]

These rankings are an inconsistent mess. It doesn’t really matter.

[@oz1141]

Rey called the Falcon garbage, The Falcon was home for Chewy.

[@jesseanderson8674]

I cant wait until thor askes us to rate jar jar

[@solowingborders3239]

Chewie ahead of Anakin? This is outrageous, it's unfair! Seriously though that was surprising.

[@PandanaJim]

I don't know about anyone else, but Chewie in Solo was the best he'd been since the original trilogy.

[@skyirwin1445]

Chewbacca wasn't a pet, he was literally Han's sidekick. The Wookies are miss understood by most people. Chewie should have inherited the Millennium Falcon.

[@owenlars8878]

In A New Hope, Peter Mayhew actually has lines. They dubbed the Chewbacca sounds in post, so it's nice to know that he's not just growling, he's actually commenting on what's happening.

[@martinjrgensen8234]

None of the stuff Rey ends up with makes a lick of sense. Falcon, BB-8, the Skywalker name, Lukes lightsaber...

[@zuko9085]

What's amazing is how lovable he is and never says a word that we can truly understand outside of emotion it sounds.

[@robertvanderhoof5283]

The falcon is chewbacca's end of story

[@matthewcovell9118]

I would have voted "B" but after listening to and reading the comments I realized that Chewbacca is one of the best characters so simple but makes the Star Wars Universe come alive because it's his galaxy. Without him as a constant reminder that what we are seeing has nothing to do with earth or humanity these are all aliens Han, Leia, Luke, Darth Vader. Chewbacca brings that all together because he is just one of the guys in this universe not alien to them at all. Definitely an "A" for me from now on.

[@jeggsonvohees2201]

The people who say there's not much to Chewbacca have never read the OEU.

[@varkesh456]

Never stooped to think how his story was not really built up before hearing this video, but i think you summed him up perfectly he is perhaps the definitive supporting character

[@sanderspijkers2495]

Silly Thor, nobody thinks the sequels are canon.

[@wraith2939]

THANK YOU! Chewie deserved to fly the Falcon not Marey Sue...

[@gilly9666]

No as he said in force awakens, chewie WE ARE HOME that say it was as much chewies home as han's

[@cambuxton6835]

Hmm ... Good question.

[@moffjendob6796]

"You don't change your will a day after meeting someone." Ah, but this is Rey!

[@onyxrose4349]

Obviously her very existence changed Han's will.

[@fercuscuelalopez9454]

I’m pretty sure Chewy got the falcon... even on the theme park ride, chewy is the one lending it to Hondo Ohnaka... there’s no mention of Rey.

[@haillobster7154]

"Pet"? That was petty.

[@Cybo-Man]

Calm down snowflake ❄️

[@bobross4305]

No way he would give it to Ray

[@mccalltrader]

Dude, whatever, chewie was even likable in the last Jedi...that’s says basically all you need to know
