I saw the Revenge of the Sith, but why was there an invasion of Kashyyyk,? I think I wasn't paying close enough attention.

The invasion of the Wookie planet was not only crucial to the final outcome of ROTS, but it also helps us to understand the origin of the relationship that Chewbacca and Yoda will further develop in the old trilogy. It will all "make sense" once we've viewed Star Wars, Empire, and Jedi with new eyes.

The scenes also establish a crucial marketing relationship between everybody's favorite Wookie and that lovable liitle green guy.

The scenes also kill about five to ten minutes of screen time.

The scenes may also establish the basis for a "prequel to the prequels" novel that will elaborate on Yoda's history with the Wookies.

The scenes are "really cool." "I mean, Chewbacca and Yoda, together, how cool is that?"

I guess you're being sarcastic, but was it really filler, or was there a reason for the invasion, in all seriousness...please smile.gif

Seriously . . .? I read the novel and I saw the movie and I still have no idea what those scenes were all about. Maybe a Lucas apologist can think of something.

Phewwww, I thought I really missed something. I know they said they were going to Kashyyyk to help the Wookies, but why the war was being fought there was a total unknown for me.

Thank you. I hated that line about Yoda and the Wookies being on swell terms.

They needed the wood. The wookies on Kayshhyk prodouced lots and lots of wood that was critical for making blasters, buildings and spaceships.

I didn't have a problem with the separatists invading Kashyyyk - after all, it was a Republican planet - and it set up Yoda's ET moment. Damn ET moment.
How come Star Wars PT is so centred around armies - space battles are almost nonexistent - there is a space skirmish in TPM, a pursuit scene in Clones and that huge yet short space battle in ROTS - the navies seem to take the back seat - in the OT the only ground engagements were the ground assault when the navy couldn't bombard Hoth, and the commando strike at Endor. But the PT just rolls out Grand Armies of the Republic and gungan energy balls and Battle Droid Armies like there is no republic.

You know what i just find soooo hilarious!!! Lucas decided to stick with the same name for the wookie home planet as he had given for the 1978 Star Wars holliday special!!! gosh...I thought he had decided to reject that as part of the Star Wars canon a long time ago.

i agree with the gushers on this one...

i think it was far more important to devote 10 minutes of screen time to yodas affiliation with kashyyk, wookies, and chewbacca to tighten the already choking grasp of the circle of coincidences surrounding these films, then it would be to devote 10 minutes to making remarks, comments, and documentation of events match what we were shown...

it was too much to have any two characters in an entire fucking galaxy not know each other...

it's all one big happy family....

greedo made fun of anikan when they were kids
Boba fetts dad was killed by some guy who was killed by the emporer
so on and so on...
C3P0 was made by anikan, my favorite by far...

already owned by anikan, owen, but then had his memory wiped...

"our last master was captain antillies"

you mean your only master, right? (as far as you know...)

Be grateful. For now, we don't have the PT as part of 3P0's one-man Jedi show.

I saw the movie again last night. The reason why Yoda had to go to Kashyyyk is because Mace Windu (Jules) said that "We can not afford to lose that system." That is the entirety of Lucas' explanation.

Palpatine and Vader enslave the Wookies after Episode III and force them to assist in the building of the Death Star.

Actually, most of the Wookies are sold into slavery by the Trandoshans. I can see no reason for a bunch of technologically inept monkeys to be used on the Death Star.

Most of the development was done by the Geonosians and would have been overseen by Imperial personnel and built by droids and machinery.

Kashyyyk was just put in there for the fanboys to have yet another fucked up thing to whack off about. Why Bobba Fett didn't show up with his half-brother Han Solo and their cousin, Lando Calrissian, and befriend Chewbacca through is friend Salporin is beyond me. I was fully expecting the Millenium Falcon, shiney and yellow, to be pulled out of the waters of Kashyyyk by Luminara Unduli and to hear Calrissian say, "Yippee!" then use a chance cube to gamble it with Solo, who would then slap Fett across the face, blame it on Skywalker, then kidnapp Chewbacca and run away.

I read they built the Death Star using prison labour on Despayre or some such planet. Then once the Death Star was built, they blew up the planet aftewards - slave labour and all.

That amused me.
