chewie

The version of me that was barely out of toddlerhood was probably thrilled to find out Chewbacca had a kid my age, in the same way adult me noticed many years later with both hilarity and horror that Chewie’s dad Itchy looks like a genital wart.

He told BBC Scotland News that he bought his first Chewie suit - then started making them himself by copying that outfit.

"All you can see of Chewie's feet are his toes. My dad carved them out of balsa wood as he is an engineer too," he said.

He has three versions of Chewie because Chewbacca looks different in each of the Star Wars films.

Although Paul has many costumes, Chewie is his favourite.
