Wookies

Star Wars fans were recently tantalized by the news that Episode III will travel to the much-talked-about Wookie home world of Kashyyyk. Check out the official story. Lucas' original goal when conceptualizing the final battle of Star Wars Episode VI - Return of the Jedi was to have it on the Wookie planet rather than Endor. The battle would have taken place up among the tree homes and within the leaves. The forest floor of Kashyyyk is nearly uninhabitable even to Wookies, so falling or climbing down was usually fatal. However, the technology available made Lucas scale back his plans and invent Endor in it's place. Now, we will be treated to a glimpse of Lucas' original vision as one of the key battles of Episode III will take place on Kashyyyk.
