How Star Wars Creature Team Ended Up With Chewbaccas New Movie Look
Bringing any Star Wars creature to life on the big screen is a bit of a challenge, but you might think that bringing back legacy characters such as Chewbacca might be a little bit easier thanks to their already being previous work to work off of.
Youd be wrong.
Speaking at Star Wars Celebration, creature designer Neal Scanlan discussed the myriad challenges to bringing Chewbacca back for Disney and Lucasfilms new series of Star Wars movies. The way the team ended up with Chewbaccas new movie look took ideas, plenty of perseverance, and honestly, a whole lot of luck. But dont take it from me. Heres what Neal Scanlan revealed.
Finding The ActorFirst and foremost, finding an actor who could play Chewbacca was incredibly difficult. You need someone who can embody the character, but also someone who is 7 feet tall to take on the role. There are definitely more 7-foot basketball players out there than working actors. Or, as Scanlan put it, perhaps George Lucas got really lucky when he found Peter Mayhew:
So the first thing about Chewie that we realized was that if you were George Lucas and you created this character called Chewbacca, what you really want is for someone to walk through your door whos 7 foot plus, has incredibly wideset, beautiful eyes and a very strong jawline. How lucky was that for George when Peter Mayhew walked through the door?
Obviously, Joonas Suotamo (who is allegedly 6 11) was signed on for the role and that particular problem was worked out for the design team. However, there was a bigger issue at the heart of creating Chewbaccathey didnt have any of the original plans or molds for the character.
Designing Chewbaccas LookNeal Scanlan said at Star Wars Celebration 2019 that he and his team were confident they could get Chewbaccas look close to that of the original trilogy movies, which came out between 1977 and 1983. However, he and his team quickly found out the process was hopeless and they were never going to get a fully accurate look for the character.
Then, the team got really lucky. Per Neal Scanlan:
Then almost at the point where we just tried to give up, I had a sculptures working. We were trying to reverse engineer: What does Chewie look like underneath? A colleague of mine walked in, he said, I have something for you. I thought hed probably brought me a can of beer or something. He said, I have an original cast of Chewbaccas head. I was like, Youre kidding me! He was like, No, I did a little bit of work experience with Stuart Freeborn and he gave me a cast of Chewies head.
So, they went from having a lot of trouble trying to figuring out exactly how to nod to the past to having Chewbaccas full facial look in the blink of an eye. Scanlan also noted about that particular bit of luck that it was one a great day for himself and his team.
That day was an amazing day for us because it literally allowed us to then go ahead and make Chewie with a likeness knowing that likeness was exactly like what Stuart Freeborn created.
Getting Chewbacca To Look As Furry As PossibleIf you are a big fan of Star Wars, you may already know the original costume was knitted for Chewbacca with a combination of yak and rabbit hair for the original trilogy. However, when Neal Scanlans team was designing the look they at first felt as if that would be damned near impossible to replicate. Again, it took a little tinkering, but Scanlan and co. finally realized knitting was the only way to go. He said at Star Wars Celebration:
The second thing was the original Chewie suit was knitted by Stuart Freeborns wife. She actually knitted it! I said to [my team], This is insane. We cant knit the suit. But actually what we realized was she didnt knit it because that was the only way they could do it, she knitted it because that was the perfect way to do it. Because [theres] something about the way a wooly jumper moves and a wooly jumper stretches.
It isnt easy to get a Chewbacca suit that looks and moves like the original. Neal Scanlan also told audiences that each hair is placed in and knotted one at a time. Ultimately, six or seven people were tasked with working on one Chewbacca suit, and even then a suit takes six months to complete. Six! The end result looks stellar, but it is very furry, and actor Joonas Suotamo has previously revealed some days on set it resulted in an unavoidable and uncomfortable temperature rise. Per Suotamo:
On interior sets there might not be any real airflow and the hairs would just trap all the heat to the fur and cause a slow temperature rise. While filming I would perform my bit and we would go again many times usually this would take from an hour to 2 hours. On scenes requiring 3 hours I would sometimes need to start conserving my energy.
There are always tough puzzles doing creature work. We learned during the release of Star Wars: The Last Jedi that there were over 180 creatures created for that movie -- a number of large magnitude. In general, Star Wars movies are large scale productions. The flicks not only create actual, fully formed creatures but often construct sets rather than relying on CGI to make the films come across as realistically as possible.
It's not just Chewbacca that has been fully formed for the new movies. Neal Scanlan also talked more about the sea cows which had to be transported by helicopter to come to life this weekend, so the attention to detail given to this franchise is really unparalleled.
With that in mind, it's not shocking to now know each Chewbacca suit took six months to come together.
Still, if youre wanting to get into some legit Chewbacca cosplay, you have quite the challenge ahead of you. But if youre happy to admire Chewie from afar, you can catch the creature designed character back in action when Star Wars Episode IX hits theaters this December.
