Sick of trudging through the entirety of A New Hope just to see your favorite Wookiee? Your prayers have been answered! (via)

StarWars.com discovered this Chewbacca pumpkin – it’s furry! Head on over to see the completed version.

David Hewlett (Rodney McKay) is fairly convinced that the lack of contact with the show’s producers means there will be no Atlantis movie.  And it makes him sad.

But the newbies to the franchise are enjoying the hype that comes with a new (and still supported) show at the Television Critics Association:

• The ladies get caught doing Wookiee impressions (two e’s people…geez)
• David Blue outs himself…as a geek (no surprise to anyone following his Tweets) and Lou Diamond Phillips scores the biggest laugh of the panel in this summary.
• And the producers try changing tacks from the earliest marketing disaster to saying they’re trying to ”broaden” the Stargate appeal.

Today we have a Wookiee Toastee from Yummy Pancake. Check out the gallery for a closer look!

Don’t forget our other featured Stitch Warriors, and the show’s official site.

There’s also a handful of old articles – one on the art directors and concept art, kicking off with Ralph McQuarrie and an interview with Patty Maloney, who played Lumpawarrump, and Stan Winston on Wookiee makeup/costuming. And finally, learn to draw Chewie’s family.
