LOS ANGELES, Feb 3 (Reuters Life!) - A Chewbacca impersonator was arrested after being accused of head-butting a Hollywood tour guide who warned the furry brown Wookiee about harassing two Japanese tourists, police said on Saturday.
"Nobody tells this Wookiee what to do," "Chewie" from the "Star Wars" movies said before slamming his head into the guide's forehead, the Los Angeles Times newspaper reported.
The 6-foot, 5-inch-(1.96-metre-) tall 44-year-old man was charged on Friday with misdemeanor battery and later released on $20,000 bail, the Los Angeles Police Department said.
"Superman" and other movie and cartoon impersonators were reported to be witnesses to the aggression in front of Grauman's Chinese Theater amid concern that such behavior could endanger their livelihoods.

Hmmmm, seems like the "Chewbacca Defense" might come into play here.

Is that from a Seinfeld episode, Bob?

South Park.

Chewie was framed!!

Wait...two japanese tourists were attacked by Chewbacca...


in front of the Chinese theatre


oh the irony....

Ya gotta figure that somehow this involved the E-woks.

The E-woks must have been behind the tour guide when Chewy head butted him.

"Nobody tells this Wookie what to do."

ROFL ROFL ROFL

I wonder where Gochiefs was on the night in question?

I was waiting for somebody to work in a GC joke here.

Wow this is about as crazy as the space love triangle. The world has turned into the National Inquirer.

Was that really an accurate translation? How fluently does the tour guide actually speak Wookie? Maybe he was saying, "Me love you, Monkey Boy," and the headbutt was a show of affection?

ROFL


all tour guides carry a current wookie to english dictionary

Luke Skywalker will use a Jedi mind trick on the Judge to get Chewy acquitted.

Does it make me a geek that I ordered the Leia slave outfit on ebay...and my wife wears it on occasion.


I go all out rancor when she walks into the room wearing that thing
