Commander Luke Skywalker: Chewy says Hi?

Lots of people are giving @SWGAMER6 a hard time since he believes chewy is more or less the same character throughout the saga. Well i agree with him. Im not going to whine and moan that the luke event is unfair (i definitely dont have all of the required toons), but since the release of R2, there is absolutely precedent for a toon whose tags span multiple eras. I dont see why chewy couldnt drop the "clone wars" part of his name then have resistance and rebel tags. Also, they have changed the names of toons so there is also precedent for dropping "clone wars".

Im not angry that clone wars chewy doesnt have rebel/resistance tags, im just stating that there is absolutely precedent for this kind of a change.

Chewbacca would be crucial to a Han Solo event, right? But why is he crucial to Luke? Scratch that. Why is he more crucial to Luke's journey (in the movies, which is how this event is staged) than Old Ben, R2, Leia or Han? Luke's family owned R2, R2 flew with Luke. How can you put Chewbacca's relationship with Luke ahead of that? How can you put it ahead of Han Solo? Han was the captain of the Falcon, not Chewbacca. Did Old Ben give Luke his father's lightsaber or did Chewbacca? Did Luke hear Chewbacca in his head or Old Ben? Luke tells Leia: "I'm Luke Skywalker, I'm here to rescue you." The movies always hinted at some sort of Luke/Leia relationship, eventually we knew what it turned out to be, but there was never a Luke/Chewbacca relationship that developed.

Chewbacca simply is not as essential to Luke as the other four characters are. Plus the other four are, like Luke, human. Chewbacca is not. Their decision makes the most sense.
