ChAiNz.2da Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 WASHINGTON (AP) -- A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, a Wookiee named Chewbacca growled and howled his way through "Star Wars" movies. On Monday, the actor who played him will take the oath to become an American citizen. http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/Movies/10/13/citizen.wookiee.ap/index.html w00t! hehehe.. man, reading today's news is revealing all sorts of kewl stuff
Hallucination Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 Wow a giant hairy ape as an american citizen. And he acted Chewy to top it off! But seriously, I don't really see why it would be news.
Rogue Nine Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 It's Peter Mayhew, for heaven's sake. CHEWIE. Of course it's news. WTF is wrong with you? Kids these days, I swear. Have no sense of nostalgia or appreciation for classics.
Hallucination Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 I had something I was gonna say to you, but I forgot it in a panic when I saw you were an admin. I believe classic are all well and good, but its a guy in a giant monkey costume who growls for money.
El Sitherino Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 ... It seems Chewbacca's awesome has destroyed your mind. Anyway, fuggin sweet.
The_Maker Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 Very Cool, Now there is official proof that wookies can be civilized too
El Sitherino Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 Two e's damnit. It's wookiee, not cookie. I think episode III proved they can be civilized, what with the civilization being shown and all...
The Doctor Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 Forgive me for my idiocy, but I alwaya thought Mayhew was an American. What country was he a citizen of before?
Darth333 Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 What country was he a citizen of before? Huh? Read the article...here's the first sentence: British-born Peter Mayhew will be among 441 people from 77 countries who will become naturalized Americans in a ceremony in Arlington, Texas.
Jeff Posted October 14, 2005 Posted October 14, 2005 That's cool that he is becoming an American. And of course it's news! He's a famous actor for the most popular movie series ever!
The Doctor Posted October 14, 2005 Posted October 14, 2005 Huh? Read the article...here's the first sentence: Sorry, the article wouldn't load for me. My computer is being difficult as of late...
Prime Posted October 14, 2005 Posted October 14, 2005 Wow a giant hairy ape as an american citizen. And he acted Chewy to top it off! But seriously, I don't really see why it would be news.Considering what is passed off as news in America, this is front page news.
RobQel-Droma Posted October 14, 2005 Posted October 14, 2005 Interesting, Peter Mayhew is becoming an American (and so is Chewbacca for that matter)! Does anyone know any particular reason he is? Say, I wonder if all the wookiees are going to become americans? Chewbacca might be the first wookiee in a wave coming. That would be interesting; a wookiee basketball team! Or a wookiee barber, or taxi driver! A wookiee band...
Rogue Nine Posted October 14, 2005 Posted October 14, 2005 "I got married to a Texan lady. That more or less decided it," said Mayhew, who has been married to his wife, Angelique, for six years. Plz read b4 aksing dum qvestions, kthnxbai. "I am feeling very happy about it," Mayhew said. "Whatever people say about America, it is still one of the most wonderful countries in the world, despite the politics, religion and everything else that goes on." Best quote, evar. Excellent example of British understatement.
Hallucination Posted October 14, 2005 Posted October 14, 2005 Considering what is passed off as news in America, this is front page news. Yeah, I guess thats why I was raised to CBC news, they can make sense of alot of things. But not even this. Next thing: Wookiees demand equal marriage rights. The thing after that: Wookiees demand that the news reporters stop following them. The Thing after that: Wookiees are exiled for mass murder of all news reporters.
RobQel-Droma Posted October 14, 2005 Posted October 14, 2005 News Reporter: Ladies and Gentelman, this is <whoever> giving you live coverage of the negotiations between the Wookiee district and N.Y. Currently we have no information about what the Wookiees are doing, in fact we are trying to locate them by helicopter now. Ah, now we can see it. I looks like...looks like they are playing drums, or they are beating on someone...Wait, those aren't drumsticks, there arms!!! And the drums are our lost reporters!!!! Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!
MdKnightR Posted October 16, 2005 Posted October 16, 2005 Pretty cool news! Anyway, fuggin sweet. Hey, if you are going to use the "F" word, go for the gusto!
jedi3112 Posted October 22, 2005 Posted October 22, 2005 News Reporter: Ladies and Gentelman, this is <whoever> giving you live coverage of the negotiations between the Wookiee district and N.Y.

I looks like...looks like they are playing drums, or they are beating on someone...Wait, those aren't drumsticks, there arms!!! And the drums are our lost reporters!!!! Ahhhhhhhh!!!!! Nice one. Anyway, why wouldn't he be able to become one, I mean he's smarter than at least some of your presidents. And besides if Bush doesn't get what he wants he goes to war. But if a Wookiee doesn't get what he wants, he's going to pull your arms out of your sockets, now that's a huge improvement in style. Next elections, a Wookiee for president, and if you don't vote on a Wookiee, they're gonna pull your arms out. And if the country is open for Wookiees, I guess it's open for Sith as well, and also Mandalorians.
90SK Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 Bah, Peter Mayhew is always in fashion, as far as I'm concerned. It's Neat to see that he's sliding on over to the U.S. I Hope he can tolerate the fan presence, though.
