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 (zeta or omega level)
5. A new unique - similar to Zavages but for LS allies with an added bonus if Han is killed
6. Stagger on his basic

That's it.

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