Narrator: He was the sidekick to smuggler Han Solo and friend to Jedi Master Yoda, but Chewbacca the Wookiee has been rumored to be dead, even though he recently appeared in the 2005 blockbuster, "Revenge of the Sith".

Interviewer: How can you use Episode III as proof that you are alive? Didn't that come BEFORE Episodes IV-VI?

Chewbacca: I appreciate the question, Harv. Well, of course, three comes before four, but remember, four was filmed in 1975, three comes two decades later. We just filmed it a couple of summers ago, I still haven't stopped shedding.

Interviewer: Why then do some fans think you are dead?

Chewbacca: Books. They think the books are on par with the movies. {Wookiee laugh}. Tell that to Boba Fett, his story is completely different in the books than it is the movies.

Interviewer: Why were you booted out of the books?

Chewbacca: Writers were frustrated about the Wookiee language. They either wrote "Chewbacca barks" or "Chewie emits a low growl", or sometimes they would print RRRUUUER!!! I guess they never thought to simply translate what I am saying, like the writer of this blog did.

Carrie Fisher: That would be the answer HE would give, the truth is, they wrote him out because he was a pain in *@# to work with.

Jacen Solo: (Laughs) Yeah, they make up all kinds of CRAP for the books, like me and my siblings for example. In reality, Han and Leia got married the night of the Endor celebration and helped found Alderaan II, they have been living there in peace ever sense.

Luke Skywalker: There's no war after RETURN OF THE JEDI, if there was...what would be the point? I haven't trained any new Jedi, haven't had to, I brought balance to the Force, after all! Now the Force belongs to everyone.

Interviewer: Are you sorry to be out of the books?

Chewbacca: I'm in four blockbuster films that everyone knows the world over. Books--big deal! Most people just buy them for the covers anyway!

Han Solo: HECK! I'm TRYING to get written out of the books! It gets boring have the same situations re-written over and over again. Last week Leia and I went to a lovely flower show, but do you think they wanted to write about that?

(Spirit of) Obi-Wan Kenobi: I told Luke in the films that Yoda and I would be with him forever, then they wrote me out. When I say forever I mean FOREVER--and not figuratively. I can think of another word that starts with "B" to describe most of those books.

Luke Skywalker: Sure, I see Han and Leia from time to time. Chewbacca and I had a round of golf just last Tuesday. It's a peaceful galaxy now folks, we lived happily ever after and we LIVED, THE END.

Narrator: While still in close contact with Han, Leia, and their seven children (turns out Leia was brought up Catholic), Chewbacca has returned to his own wife and kids.

Chewbacca: I'm having the time of my life. I'm alive and well, and anytime you want to see me pop in your favorite "Star Wars" film.

Interviewer: What if my favorite films are Episodes I and II?

Chewbacca: Yeah, right!
