Star Wars Lessons - Don't Mess with Chewie

Posted by Paul on Jan 16th 2017

A brand new deleted scene from Star Wars The Force Awakens has surfaced on the internet. The scene will give you a flash back from A New Hope where R2-D2 and Chewbacca are playing Dejarik, the popular holographic game that was played throughout the galaxy.

C-3PO: He made a fair move, screaming about it won't help you.

Han: Let him have it. It’s not wise to upset a Wookiee.
C-3PO: But sir. Nobody worries about upsetting a droid.
Han: That’s cause a droid don’t pull people’s arms out of their sockets when they lose. Wookiees are known to do that.
C-3PO: I see your point, sir. I suggest a new strategy, R2. Let the Wookiee win.

The deleted scene really doesn't move the story along, but it sure puts Han Solo's words into reality. Wookiees are known to pull off arms indeed. In this scene we also see that Unkar Plutt has tracked down Rey to retrieve his Millennial Falcon that she and Finn stole to escape The First Order and save BB-8. Things get tense quickly as Rey draws the blaster that Han Solo gave to her and points it at Unkar. Unkar manages to disarm her and that's when Chewbacca steps in. Unkar in the most stupid move ever pokes at Chewbacca's injury. And I'm sure you know what comes next! So next time you are out and about exploring the galaxy, remember this life lesson - Don't mess with a Wookiee!
