The Return of Chewbacca

Posted by timothy on from the ready-for-his-closeup dept.

BrunoC writes "It's official! Peter Mayhew is going to play everyone's favorite wookie once again: Chewbacca is returning in Episode III, currently in pre-production phase. Peter says (quoted from StarWars.com) "I'm delighted to return as Chewbacca, I think his re-appearance in this film is a fitting way to tie the whole saga together, especially for Wookiee fans." Woa! Just for the records: Artoo and C-3PO will be there too! You can read the official annoucement here, at StarWars.com."

    I know man! It's soooooo lame. Just like this Lord of the Rings thing. I mean, there's this huge, gigantic place called Middle Earth, and all we get to see are some stupid midgets with hairy feet walking around. All for some stupid ring that you could buy at Wal-Mart for $10. And these stupid old men with sticks that keep fighting by flinging each other in the air. And walking, talking trees! I mean, what the hell kind of drugs were they smoking?

    I really don't know who invents these stories, but they must be a bunch of unintelligent idiots. I mean, I can't WAIT for "Pirates of the Caribbean" to come out. Now THERE'S an original story. You just don't find good quality screenplays like that anymore.
