That sounds pretty bad Sassy! Chewbacca's home planet = Kashi = Kashyyyk (featured in Episode III) Chewbacca's wife = Malla = Mallatobuck Chewbacca's son = Lumpy = Lumpawarrump Chewbacca's father = Itchy = Attichitcuk Those longer names belong to the Star Wars databank, which tarts up "Malla, Lumpy, and Itchy" to sound more "official." And Al, I had never considered a Ricky Schroeder/Star Wars connection, but it is indeed a small world. Though maybe the Christmas Special was never meant for kids. One segment has Art Carney hooking up Itchy with a Virtual Reality rig featuring a pornographically purring <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0140792/">Diahann Carroll</a>. Add Bea Arthur, and I think you're starting to feel me dog. This thing is great, terrifying, and awful all at the same time. If I consumed drugs, it would be something to accompany _them_. Wow. That sounds pretty bad Sassy!

Chewie was some kind of Archie Bunker or something, the little Chewie Mini-Me was whining about not wanting to go to bed, it was like Silver Spoons with caveman grunts only... disastrous.

Chewie had a wife and a son named lumpy who went into the swamp and was attacked by some sort of critters, and then Chewie saves him. I think this must have been based off this special because it was utter nonsense. when I was a kid I had this book that was about Chewbacca’s home planet (kashi?) it was a swamp planet at the bottom and trees above.
