Chewbacca Backpack, Cuddly Without Smelly
Posted by Mark Wilson at 1:38 AM on November 17, 2007
The $40 Chewbacca backpack is what would happen if your MyBuddy grew a pair, took some steroids and helped you conquer the galaxy instead of your backyard. This backpack is a smaller version of your favourite Wookie, stuffable with your favourite books and lightsabers. And seriously, we prefer him to the real thing.
Chewbacca seems like a nice (guy?) and all, but the real prospect of living in close quarters with a flee-covered, boisterous and surely odoriferous animal for extended periods of time is about as close to our personal hell as an iconic sci-fi movie has come. And seriously, he has hair everywhere. Not only would a strand end up in a least one bite of every meal, but the possibility that the strand would be fouled with excrement is enough for us to program HAL to just go ahead and lock the pod bay doors during our next space walk.

@baltwade: All of thinkgeek.com's items are modeled by fine specimens of fully grown nerdy men.

Being humped by a Chewbacca isn't that appealing to me.

@92BuickLeSabre: I'm with you. Teen Wolf was the superior film, but it's nowhere near as well known as Chewie.
On another note, I must quote The Aquabats for my own random purpose. "Chewbacca, Chewbacca, Lake Tittie Cacca, Chewbacca's got a scooter man, holy crap!"

Cool, but I still prefer the Yoda backpack: [www.thinkgeek.com]

Nothings says "geek" like a Chewbacca backpack. It's also perfect for saying "I love furries."

@Kaiser-Machead: I don't want to live in a world where people are unaware of Chewie but hyper-aware of Teen Wolf.

I can see people who are unaware of Chewie saying "WTF, is that teen wolf?"

Yeah, I understand that it's cool to be friends with Chewie and all, but this just looks like he's getting all intimate with your back and stuff. Plus he's creepily (serenely, even -- guess he's in the zone) gazing over your shoulder at whomever you're talking to.

You wouldn't want to loosen those straps - that would look odd!

@werk: 100% necessary.
Great post Mark - funny as hell. But the one problem you missed:
No one (not Clones, Droids, Garbage Monsters, Troopers, not even a bar-tending Bea Arthur) will mess with you if you are with a real Wookie.
You are, however, guaranteed to get beat up with backpack Wookie.

I thought a yoda backpack would be really cool - just to find out it exists already and most certainly I was the only one that wasn't aware.
ha you really learn something everyday :)

Can you get the Chewbacca backpack wearing another backpack containing C3PO in pieces?

Haha, do they even have fleas in the Star Wars galaxy? Or are they really called flees after all? Seriously though, if Chewbacca sheds as much as my Labrador then Han should've just shaved him in his sleep.
