Marvel has announced that everyone’s favourite wookie Chewbacca is set to follow in the footsteps of Princess Leia and Lando Calrissian by headling his own limited series, which comes courtesy of the creatuve team of Gerry Duggan (Deadpool) and Phil Noto (Black Widow).
“Chewy is on a very important mission when we first meet him, and you’ll be able to tell that right away without hearing him speak”, Duggan tells CBR, when asked how Chewbacca’s lack of speech will affect the storytelling. “But script wise, what’s been very fun for me, I’ve been writing each roar and yell twice. Once for the letterer, to be printed exactly as it is on the page and then once in parentheses for the team that basically is Chewy’s whine in English. And that’s just for internal use. That’s just so that everyone can be on the same page and know that, hey, we’re telling this story visually and anything that we do need to know… He’s got a friend on this planet, a young woman and she speaks the basic language — so we won’t be in the dark.”
Star Wars: Chewbacca #1 is set for release in October.
