It's time to talk about Chewie...

First of all, well done Devs on your interpretation and implementation of a firm fan favourite, R2.

But it's now time to address another one, which is tragically lying at the bottom of the useless character gutter, Chewbacca.

I would say he is almost as synonymous with Star Wars as Vader, Luke, Han, R2 etc yet he is languishing behind almost everyone.

I've never understood the rationale behind denoting him 'Clone Wars Chewbacca' (most likely retained from the games development) however with the 40th Anniversary coming up its time to address this.

I'm not asking for earth shattering changes - my ideas are very simple:

1. Remove 'Clone Wars' from his name and reskin the bowcaster
2. Increase his base speed
3. Give him the exact same tags as R2 (rebel, republic, resistance)
4. Add an auto taunt
5. A new unique - similar to Zavages but for LS allies.

That's it.

How do others feel? Time for some fuzzy, wuzzy wookie love?

2 words - Brilliant

I couldn't agree more, particularly about the clone wars chewy tag, which limits him in ways I'm just not emotionally prepared to deal with. He's not a clone wars toon in my opinion, he was a rebel first. I know that the timeline argues that, but not the, just go with it ok? I'm not justifying that, it's rock solid logic.
