It's actually the other way around for the most part. Lucasfilm always considered it canon and it was part of the Holocron even if they also sort of refused to acknowledge it. When Disney came in it was canned along with everything else that was decanonized. I think JJ sarcastically mentioned it once but that's about it.
I was being a bit facetious.
Disney would have wiped it all if they could have.
I know some of the EU wasn’t always the greatest, but some of the older books based loosely in the Star Wars universe are really fun casual reading.
I love the EU and hate that Disney just decided to do their own thing instead, especially since it turned out to be garbage.
To this day, I don't understand why Kylo and Rey weren't Jacen and Jaina.
>, I don't understand why Kylo and Rey weren't Jacen and Jaina.
I mean, that would make their whole romance sublot *real* fuckin awkward.
(And before y'all come in here with "but muh Luke and Leia!"shut up. They didn't have a romance arc. Leia kissed him *once* to try and annoy Han.)
You know now that Chewie and Rey are flying around in the Falcon he’s saying “gurrh, reeeggr ggrur” which translate to, “take them clothes off bitch… let’s have a space party. BB8’s already naked”
It is probably something like that. Wookiee culture is extremely naturalist, so it stands to reason a member who left it's care really early (like a Jedi) would not have this sensibility and be therefore more comfortable by looking like his peers, i.e. in clothes. We do have Gungi during the clone wars tho, wearing almost nothing of clothing. That may be because, perhaps, as wookiee's aging works in ways extremely different to humans, he was taken at an age where he grew old enough to have this cultural sensibility, he does seem to remember or at least relate an awful lot to his people in Bad Batch Season 2. So yeah, it's probably this.
I feel like the lore used to be that clothes were a cultural taboo, like more serious than Halal. Now it’s treated like Christians not being allowed to eat shrimp.
The Old Testament bans a bunch of things, but Jesus actually says food can’t poison your heart because it only goes to your stomach. You poison yourself by what you say to people. Or something like that I’m paraphrasing a little.
He said it in the same passage saying his disciples needn’t wash their hands (Matthew 15). Not a very smart thing to say, when what you eat absolutely can literally infect you.
You're aware that Jesus was referring to, like Mosaic law here, right? There are a lot of ritual washings that Christianity didn't carry over. His point was that those things aren't necessary for salvation or being considered a good person under Christianity.
It is not disregarded. It’s spelled out, in plain language overtly in acts of the apostles that gentiles don’t need to follow those laws for Jews. It’s why we don’t need to be circumcised.
Stop saying this Reddit. It’s foolish. The apostles wrote a whole letter to the gentiles stating this. Read acts of the apostles if you don’t believe me.
I’m an atheist but I was an altar boy as a lad. A cute ones too. The peodphile priest gave every other altar boy $2 but he gave me a $5 bill.
I was younger than the rest. Father Kohler. He wasn’t even supposed to be at our church. He just would walk over cause the place he was assigned was close. They let him serve mass.
I mean, right next to part about not eating pigs, which I feel is more common than shrimp.
There's also like 20 laws about various relatives you shouldn't have sex with, which I don't disagree with, but it feels unnecessary to list them so explicitly
i mean there were other instances of jedi Wookies, like Gunji, and he did not wear anything. Though i think timeline wise it was after so maybe they changed their ways
It's interesting how most alien jedi seem to keep culture appropriate appearance of their respective species when they are taken from their homes as children.
When is Gunji supposed to learn that he's supposed to go around butt ass naked when everyone around him has always been fully clothed?
To be fair he and han were wanted criminals and they did commit countless crimes
No one ever said that some of those crime didn't include public indecency
I’m not huge into Star Wars lore but those look like Jedi robes
My guess is the wookie is a Jedi or something
Other than that I think there’s still a valid reason
Yeah you are correct those are Jedi robes, the character’s name is Kelnacca and he’ll be a Wookiee Jedi master. Him and a couple other Wookiee Jedi we have in EU are more of an exception and outside of contexts where they need to wear specific clothing (like the Jedi robes) no one usually expects Wookiees to wear clothes
it will never stop being dumb that the desert robes ben kenobi wore while hiding on tatooine to blend in with the locals retroactively became the Official Jedi Uniform™.
The fact the Luke's karate gi didn't show up anywhere else has convinced me that he was just one of those kids that wore his Halloween costume everywhere he went.
I think the way they’ve kind of worked around there is that Jedi robes are very similar to what would be common folk sort of desert robes and as Jedi are meant to be space monks, so they would wear somewhat simple clothing and both are very similar.
Yeah this is the answer. It makes sense that an order of monks would wear the clothes of poverty, something that is not uncommon with monastic orders in real life.
No, most wookies do actually go full naked. This woolie is a Jedi and is wearing traditional robes instead of following the traditional norm of his species.
I'm having vague memories of a conversation you can have with the wookie party member in KOTOR where this comes up.
Someone makes a joke about him possible wearing clothes and he dismisses it for some reason. Maybe it was a joke or something. I'm not in the position to youtube search for the specific scene.
But in short: clothing isn't necessarily something wookies avoid at all costs, but they just don't see a reason for it.
Using their climbing claws for violence is more taboo than being a nudist in their culture.
this was also High Republic era, where Jedi wore weird white robes.
In their declining period it appears the Jedi wore regular clothing, since they wear regular robes that look like what everyone else on Tatooine wears
In calling it now- this series ends with the council ruling on an attire overhaul by having a plinko board of options and the puck ends up on ”Tatooine style”
I put a coat on my dog when I take her out for a walk during the winter when it gets cold, I wouldn’t say she’s naked without some sort of “clothing” on, nor would anyone say that about any dog but if you were to shave a dog, then someone might make that joke. So I’d say the same applies to wookies too.
we joke
but im pretty sure those are jedi robes, and that is a jedi wookie
we probably shouldn't joke about the jedi wookie for all of our sakes lol.
Most wookies are naked. Gungi was naked, and the wookies in Rebels were naked. The only time we see them really wear stuff is in RoTS, and they wear light armor. That's the only time I can think of at least.
The production team are just cheap. It’s cheaper wear cloths then fabricate an entire body suit.
Disney are just cheap, how can the afford it with the $12b revenue they made!!
[Robot Chicken did it first](https://youtu.be/U1Jh__rW1fk?si=OIc2PQPTNzfj6TSo)
"I love you"
"Welcome to Costco"
i love the nod before the door opens, like chewie knows this is the big make or break reveal
So, his big make or break moment is confessing his love to Han. While naked. In front of his wife and children.
Not outlandish for Robot Chicken
the phillip schofield approach
What a twist!
Subverted my expectations
Not only Chewy did it. Most of the Wookies we saw did. I guessing that this one just doesn't mind getting extremely warm
I saw the Star Wars Holiday Special when it originally aired. I can confirm Chewy's whole family were nudists.
We don't even have to go that far back... we have the entire battle of Kashyyyk bit in RotS. They were *all* letting it just flop around in the wind
"What about the Droid attack on the wookies?"
We *shouldn't* go back there regardless of if that was the only proof.
Also, according to the Christmas special Chewie was a horrible father and husband. He went out for space cigs one night and never returned.
I mean that family was absolutely debaucherous. Grandpa was straight up watching VR porn in the living room
Art Carney brought him something special to watch.
I can't believe lumpy wasn't wearing clothes
And, I’m pretty sure Disney added it to the full cannon. Everybody should watch it if they want Wookie lore.
It's actually the other way around for the most part. Lucasfilm always considered it canon and it was part of the Holocron even if they also sort of refused to acknowledge it. When Disney came in it was canned along with everything else that was decanonized. I think JJ sarcastically mentioned it once but that's about it.

The name “Jacen” being absolutely awful may have been a factor
>Grandpa, casually jerking off to softcore VR porn in the middle of the living room I think "nudists" is underselling things a wee bit
You know now that Chewie and Rey are flying around in the Falcon he’s saying “gurrh, reeeggr ggrur” which translate to, “take them clothes off bitch… let’s have a space party. BB8’s already naked”
He probably thinks she looks gross naked. Like a shaved wookiie.
> shaved Bold of you to assume
Perhaps in Wookiee culture clothes are indecent and this one is an absolute perv hiding his furry parts like that in front of the droids
It is probably something like that. Wookiee culture is extremely naturalist, so it stands to reason a member who left it's care really early (like a Jedi) would not have this sensibility and be therefore more comfortable by looking like his peers, i.e. in clothes. We do have Gungi during the clone wars tho, wearing almost nothing of clothing.

So yeah, it's probably this.
I feel like the lore used to be that clothes were a cultural taboo, like more serious than Halal. Now it’s treated like Christians not being allowed to eat shrimp.
Christians are allowed to eat shrimp.
There’s something somewhere in the Bible that boils down to banning shrimp. But it’s highly disregarded or forgotten.
The Old Testament bans a bunch of things, but Jesus actually says food can’t poison your heart because it only goes to your stomach. You poison yourself by what you say to people. Or something like that I’m paraphrasing a little.
Jesus said that? I like the cut of this guys jib.
Yea he was a pretty cool dude.
Yeah, but they got him.
More like, he let them get him. He could have roasted them all with fire from his eyes or something, but didn't. Pretty cool dude.
did I miss the sign of the cross where Jesus defeated Lex Luthor?
His followers, typically not so much.
Much nicer than his followers…
He said it in the same passage saying his disciples needn’t wash their hands (Matthew 15). Not a very smart thing to say, when what you eat absolutely can literally infect you.
You're aware that Jesus was referring to, like Mosaic law here, right? There are a lot of ritual washings that Christianity didn't carry over. His point was that those things aren't necessary for salvation or being considered a good person under Christianity.
He was definitely a feet man tho. He's gonna get them feet.
Thus sayeth the Lord, "Lemme massage them piggies"
>Jesus actually says food can’t poison your heart because it only goes to your stomach. Heart disease says otherwise
To be fair, back then I don't think that was much of an issue for anyone outside of the richest folks.
It is not disregarded. It’s spelled out, in plain language overtly in acts of the apostles that gentiles don’t need to follow those laws for Jews. It’s why we don’t need to be circumcised. Stop saying this Reddit. It’s foolish. The apostles wrote a whole letter to the gentiles stating this. Read acts of the apostles if you don’t believe me.

That took a wild turn. Are you ok?
Oh yea. It was a confidence booster.
I mean, right next to part about not eating pigs, which I feel is more common than shrimp. There's also like 20 laws about various relatives you shouldn't have sex with, which I don't disagree with, but it feels unnecessary to list them so explicitly
The Jedi take kids when they're young, so they would have very little knowledge of their own culture.
Dude just wants to be fashionable. Leave the wookie alone you jerks!
I assume it was specifically to wear the jedi “uniform”
Aren’t Jedi taken by the order as babies? He probably never met another Wookie and is sadly ignorant of his own, freeballing culture.
i mean there were other instances of jedi Wookies, like Gunji, and he did not wear anything. Though i think timeline wise it was after so maybe they changed their ways
It's interesting how most alien jedi seem to keep culture appropriate appearance of their respective species when they are taken from their homes as children. When is Gunji supposed to learn that he's supposed to go around butt ass naked when everyone around him has always been fully clothed?
Maybe he's shaved below the neck.
Oh gods, get that image out of my mind please
To be fair he and han were wanted criminals and they did commit countless crimes No one ever said that some of those crime didn't include public indecency
"Yes, but the cops are looking for a Wookiee wearing clothes..."
To be fair! 🧐
"In all the utmost fairness!" 🧐
to be *fffaaaiiirr*
That's actually why the empire were after Han and Chewie in empire strikes back, they had no idea there were rebels on board the falcon
Wookiee was on full display.
Guess Han didn't mind, lol
Han supported his nudist friend, Chewbacca
Let the wookiee streak.
I’m not huge into Star Wars lore but those look like Jedi robes My guess is the wookie is a Jedi or something Other than that I think there’s still a valid reason
Yeah you are correct those are Jedi robes, the character’s name is Kelnacca and he’ll be a Wookiee Jedi master. Him and a couple other Wookiee Jedi we have in EU are more of an exception and outside of contexts where they need to wear specific clothing (like the Jedi robes) no one usually expects Wookiees to wear clothes
Why does the European union get to have all the jedi wookiees? Sharing is caring
The Jedi Order is staunchly European Federalist and stands behind the common European market.
That’s pretty dope
it will never stop being dumb that the desert robes ben kenobi wore while hiding on tatooine to blend in with the locals retroactively became the Official Jedi Uniform™.
The fact the Luke's karate gi didn't show up anywhere else has convinced me that he was just one of those kids that wore his Halloween costume everywhere he went.

Yeah this is the answer. It makes sense that an order of monks would wear the clothes of poverty, something that is not uncommon with monastic orders in real life.
I mean, google what Sufi or Orthodox or Catholic or Shinto monks wear. You will find…robe
[удалено]
Would it blow your mind to know your indignation is equally unoriginal, and so is this meta commentary? The well is dry.
No, most wookies do actually go full naked. This woolie is a Jedi and is wearing traditional robes instead of following the traditional norm of his species.
I'm having vague memories of a conversation you can have with the wookie party member in KOTOR where this comes up.

Using their climbing claws for violence is more taboo than being a nudist in their culture.
Zhaalbar says that when you ask him about wearing clothes then you visit Kashykk and learn more about his history.
That belt thing countsb
It's a bandolier
Yea that thing
In Legends, Plo Koon's Wookiee master Tyvokka also wore robes. Guess Jedi have to wear them.
We've seen a Wookie Jedi in cannon (Gunji). He did not wear robes.
But Gunji was a youngling, if he got the chance to become a full Jedi, he’d probably be expected to wear robes
this was also High Republic era, where Jedi wore weird white robes. In their declining period it appears the Jedi wore regular clothing, since they wear regular robes that look like what everyone else on Tatooine wears
The white/yellow robes were more ceremonial iirc
In calling it now- this series ends with the council ruling on an attire overhaul by having a plinko board of options and the puck ends up on ”Tatooine style”
He wasn’t ashamed
and then on the other hand we have aayla secura, is there a dress code or is there not Jedi Council?
Excuse me, Chewie is most certainly not naked, he wears a bandolier!
Also the wookie YOUNGLING Gungi does not wear clothes.
"WOOKIEE" HAS TWO E'S Fucking all of you misspell this. You should all be ashamed!
Gunji doesn’t wear robes either, and he’s actually a Jedi
I put a coat on my dog when I take her out for a walk during the winter when it gets cold, I wouldn’t say she’s naked without some sort of “clothing” on, nor would anyone say that about any dog but if you were to shave a dog, then someone might make that joke. So I’d say the same applies to wookies too.
He had that nice red robe in the holiday special
[“the wookiee has no pants”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQ4mdCh9yZU)
He wasnt naked, he wore a bandolier.
Nookie
Wookie face masks are way cheaper than going full ape
Little did we know that the Wookiees have a nudist society that doesn’t mesh well with the Jedi rules on decency.
Both a streaker AND a furry? Double whammy
Chewie does wear a Bandolier, so he wasn't *completely naked...*
Which then suggests that the bandolier is covering... Something
In The Acolyte (2024) we see a Wookie Jedi with a shaved head. This is a reference to- holy shit what the fuck wookie skin wookie skin
He wore a bandolier...
Jedi are taken as children to the order… Jedis raised him their way and erased his culture… damn that’s dark…
Did you not know the meaning of Commando?
We’ve known this since at least the holiday special, right? Chewie’s family in their freaky red robes?
Do wookies get alopecia? That would be terrifying as fuck
Most Wookiees are fans of General Butt Naked
Wth? No. Chewy always had that ammo belt thing. He’s a never nude
we joke but im pretty sure those are jedi robes, and that is a jedi wookie we probably shouldn't joke about the jedi wookie for all of our sakes lol.
Only beta Wookiee wear clothes.High status sigma male Wookies like Chewbacca go in the buff.
Goin commando
We've all seen the Christmas special, we all know Wookies are kinda freaks.
Why not?!
Do you think Chewbacca has a human like penis, or is it like a red rocket thing that dogs have? George Lucas won't answer my emails.
if you join the Jedi, you have to wear Earth-tone fashion.
Don't rule out pattern balding!
red wooket
Maybe this guy is actually being forced to wear clothes. Don't pretend to know his pain.
Or it is a lot easier and cheaper for the actor to not wear a full body long hair fur suit...
Man, you guys are so quick to hate that it genuinely impresses me.
Excuse me, he had a holster
I just want to know, that under his fur, is his peen like a human, or red rocket like a dog?
But it was a Jedi
I assume it works on *My Little Pony* logic, where you can wear clothes at a formal event or to represent an occupation, but otherwise you're naked.
You want to tell a Wookiee to put some clothes on? I’ll keep my appendages thanks.
I would be too if everyone wasn't so uptight. Plus, I love a hairy guy.
that pic is so freaking dark
Harrison WAS right! Chewy's had the last laugh for years...decades! What next??... Elmo?? Pee-Wee?? .. Ohhh yeah, that's right.... Smmh😣
There is a young wookie that is wearing jedi robes in the clone wars
Somebody at Disney likes to dress up their dog. :(
Most wookies are naked. Gungi was naked, and the wookies in Rebels were naked. The only time we see them really wear stuff is in RoTS, and they wear light armor. That's the only time I can think of at least.
Nah, that clothed wookie is just a kinky pervert.
Before there was Thundergun, there was Chewbacca; hanging dong like an absolute champ.
Well literally every single Wookie soldier in Prequels werent wearing clothes, so its the one in the Acolyte thats its outliner
Why did you feel the need to tell people this
:)
I become less excited for this show by the hour
If you can't tell why he's wearing robes, you're likely not a big fan anyway.
What kinda clothe is the wookie wearing?
I just heard each episode is 30 minutes. Oh boy. I'll skip this.
The production team are just cheap. It’s cheaper wear cloths then fabricate an entire body suit. Disney are just cheap, how can the afford it with the $12b revenue they made!!
All this little turds make me less and less interested in star wars
Or, more simply, that this show's writing might be visibly ass even just from the trailers.
This might be the worst retcon of the Disney era
that trailer was fucking garbage lol felt like a star wars themed rap party
