Wookiee 1 credits

Wookiees ( ) are fictional humanoid aliens from the Star Wars franchise, originating from the forested planet Kashyyyk ( kə-SHEEK). George Lucas, the creator of Star Wars, was inspired to design the Wookiee Chewbacca by his dog, conceiving a character who was large, furry, and intelligent. The suit used to portray Chewbacca was similar to earlier suits constructed for 2001: A Space Odyssey, with the facial features as the main difference. The character's vocalizations were created using animal sounds combined in a way that sound designer Ben Burtt felt conveyed emotion.
