You know that your thought process has taken an odd turn when you ask yourself, "Have I written about the Wookiee yet?"
Apparently, I haven't mentioned it yet, so here's what happened. When I was in broadcasting school, one student decided to refer to himself as a Star Wars character during his mock radio shift. The instructor listening to his demo tape fast forwarded through it tactfully to see if there were any non-Wookiee segments on it. Whenever she stopped the tape, however, the student was saying some variation of "Oh, it's the Wookiee!"
I wonder if that student ever went into professional broadcasting. If so, I'm guessing he modified his on-air style. Although Wookiees' strength and imposing presences are useful in difficult situations, there probably isn't much demand for them on the radio.
