Chewbacca ‘Pillow Pet’ Is The Stuff of Nightmares

Posted on by

Created in the likeness of everyone’s favorite Wookiee, the Chewbacca Pillow Pet Jumboz Plush (affiliate link) is the perfect companion for a young child that you never want to sleep again. I think it’s the vacant, dead eyes that really do it for me. They should have at least put teddy bear eyes in those sockets. Shoot, anything but those pitch-black, soul-stealing caverns.

The pillow measures approximately 14″ x 14″ x 14″ and unfastens to reveal the 30″ x 30″ stuffed Chewbacca mat/rug you’ve always dreamed of. In pillow form, though he looks like a cross between a Shih Tzu and a Wookiee, with the face of a snub-nosed monkey. My goodness, that face. Did I mention the eyes? I’ll be sleeping with a night light on tonight for sure, I don’t care if my wife makes fun of me.

Admittedly, I just bought one. But I am going to hot glue googly eyes on Chewie the moment he arrives? Yes, and if those googly eyes ever happen to come off and I see him without them, well, let’s just say it won’t be the first time I’ve ever smelled burning Wookiee fur (campfire accident on Kashyyyk – should have listened to Smokey).

A Faux Fur Chewbacca Water Bottle Holder

Posted on by

Because the thought of getting faux fur in your mouth while taking a sip of water is universally appealing, this is the Star Wars Chewbacca Bottle Cooler available for pre-order from Entertainment Earth for $20. Designed to hold 20 to 32 oz. water bottles & 750ml bottles (wait – of liquor?!), the carrier includes “powerful insulation” to keep your bottle as cool as Luke Skywalker on Hoth prior to sleeping inside a tauntaun.

While they call the product a “cooler,” I’d argue it doesn’t actually do any cooling, it just keeps your bottle from warming as quickly as it would without insulation. So it’s technically a slow-warmer or a hairy koozie.

As Chewbacca would say, “GGGWARRRHHWWWW!” Or would this be more of a “WWWRRRRRRGWWWRRRR” situation? Whatever the case, Disney better be giving Chewie a cut of the royalties from these products, because, as Han Solo once warned C-3PO, “It’s not wise to upset a Wookiee.” Wiser words have never been spoken.

Chewbacca Velvet Leggings Are Better Than Not Shaving Your Legs

Posted on by

Ladies, if your man has legs hairy enough to be a wookiee and you want to give him some of his own medicine without having to skip shaving your legs, these are the leggings for you. These Chewbacca Velvet Leggings not only look hairy, they have a fuzzy feel to them.

The design looks like Wookiee fur, which I would image gets everywhere during the shedding season. You also get half of Chewie’s famous bandolier on the side.

Too bad they don’t have a matching top, you could go to yoga class decked out like a Wookiee. The leggings are available at ThinkGeek for $39.99(USD).

The Star Wars Holiday Special

This may well be the worst piece of Bantha poodoo to ever soil U.S. airwaves. Originally broadcast on CBS in 1978 –and then never shown again– the Star Wars Holiday Special was produced by ...
    






Gingerbread Wookiee: So That’s Why They Call Him Chewy

Posted on by

We’ve seen lots of geeky gingerbread treats, but none so tough as this gingerbread Wookiee. Let them win at games or they will rip your arm out of its socket. Eat a gingerbread Wookiee and they will likely punch you in the gut from the inside.

This tasty gingerbread version of Chewbacca comes from Craftster member kala who does a great job making fine wookie hair and makes a mean bandoleer. It may not be as impressive as a Death Star gingerbread treat, but this guy is pretty darn cute and probably just as tasty.

This is why they call him Chewie, people! I like the eyes, but don’t want him to look at me when I bite into him.

You Won’t Notice Wookiee or Ewok Hair on This Chewbacca Sofa

Posted on by

Fans of the giant furballs known as Wookiees are going to love this Chewbacca Sofa. It comes from the design team at New York based Sentient. No Wookiees were actually harmed or made bald in the making of this hairy home decor.

It’s not technically a Wookiee sofa, but we know that hair when we see it. The base is made from reclaimed American oak boards, and the thing is just covered in Wookiee hide. Okay, it is actually long wool Icelandic sheepskin, which is super soft and will keep you warm. Each sofa is made to order and it was designed by Nersi Nasseri.

If I had this sofa, I would rig it so that a Wookiee roared every time someone sits down. Don’t let Chewie see this!

This Wookiee Cosplay Is Dead on, May Lead to Bigfoot Sightings

Posted on by

Wookiees are real. You could be forgiven if you believe that after seeing this epic Wookiee costume by Julian Checkley (aka Darth Serberus). This costume looks really amazing and authentic – and huge! This guy will rip your arm out of its socket for sure.

This 8′ 2″ Tarfful wookiee is no joke. This is some serious cosplay, so its maker has to put on stilts and harnesses, and even get help from friends to stand up.

You can watch the process in the video below and be amazed as a man becomes a larger than life Wookiee, and check out more on the build process over on The RPF.

I would be tired just from the weight and heat of all that fur. But it looks damn good and he knows how to move like a Wookiee too.

Everyone knows the saying that “misery loves company,” so our favorite fictional characters were bound to pair up eventually. If you have ever thought to yourself, “gosh, it must really be difficult being green,” then you should know that it may not be easy, but it’s no longer lonely.

So Green
