Our First Wookie American

A hearty "arrrgh wrogh bark" to our newest American, Peter Mayhew, the British-born actor best known in the Star Wars universe as the hairy wookie, Chewbacca. Mayhew was set to receive United States citizenship at a Monday ceremony.

Here's something this Star Wars fan didn't know about wookies that was gleaned in research for this post. Female wookies have six breasts. I don't know what to do with that information, but I thought I should share.

Now lets share some wookie cookies to celebrate!
