It didn’t take long for Chewie to test the bowcaster and as if we had to guess – it works.
This proves that the original trilogy is the best. Not that anyone here was questioning that – especially as long as the wookie has the weapon.
In the same way that Nute Gunray received a gift of a Mecho-chair the day after his appearance it looks like Chewie is being gifted a bowcaster and tools. Strangely I am much less bitter about it. Now if I can convice Chewie to shoot the leg off the Mecho-chair the world will be a better place.
The bowcaster (sometimes called the Wookiee Crossbow) was a Wookiee projectile weapon that fired a metal quarrel enveloped in energy, however some bowcasters were modified to fire pure energy. Some variants had a capacity of twenty-four shots.
So there you go – we armed the wookie and now the party can really get started.
Another day of not having to guess – the primary wiki source of Star Wars information was named after him (Wookieepedia).
Chewbacca (or “Chewie”, as he was known by his friends) was a legendary Wookiee from Kashyyyk and co-pilot of Han Solo’s ship, the Millennium Falcon.
I am assuming if you waste your time here you probably said that when you opened the page. If not – you are here – there is still hope for you.
I don’t know if Chewbacca is anyone’s favorite Star War’s character but I think it is a safe bet he is in everyone’s Top 5. If not you need to do some soul-searching. We are counting down to Christmas and you better get your priorities in order.
Finally – something I recognized out of the box. There was really no need to go to Wookieepedia to determine what this guy was. If you don’t immediately recognize it in mini form you should probably sit down and watch the original trilogy again – twice.
Slave I was a modified prototype Firespray-31-class patrol and attack craft used by famed bounty hunters Jango Fett and his cloned “son”, Boba Fett. It was greatly modified with advanced weapons systems by both Fetts during their respective use.
So things are finally starting to turn the corner and it is beginning to look a little more like a successful Advent Calendar run. Let’s do what we can to keep this up. Funny – when I was listing items I wanted from the calendar I forgot all about Slave I – which is strange I have several larger models of the ship in my Lego collection.
Today’s gift was a OG-9 homing spider droid and if you are guessing I didn’t know that when I started putting it together you are 100% correct. I am 4 for 4 on having to look up what the gifts are on Wookieepedia.
The OG-9 homing spider droid, sometimes referred to as the spider walker, was a droid walker manufactured for anti-vehicular combat by the Commerce Guild before and during the Clone Wars.
So I guess I saw these in one of the movies and I am assuming that since it wasn’t an X-Wing, Tie-Fighter or AT-AT walker I ignored it. I would do the same now but I think we are headed somewhere on this journey to Christmas. Nute Gunray is enjoying his mecho-chair so while I may be feeling a little shafted he is having a good time. Guess that is something.
