I Just Want to be a Wookiee

Too bad, so sad.
No you can't.

The way the game is designed now, with companions & storylines, I don't see Wookiees fitting in. They threw it Bowdaar so a Smuggler has a Wookiee companion, as it should be. But if they were to add 'em as playable, they'd need their own storyline (or, at least, a new storyline that could also encompass some other new species too, with companions unique to the new story).

Rodians, tho... we need some. And Sullustans. And both speak Basic (I haven't seen Rodian yet in-game that does, but we see 'em do it in The Clone Wars; and there's at least one Sullustan NPC who speaks basic on Rep Taris)

Meesa tinkin' dat ifn he can be-en deesa Wookie, den meesa can be-en a Gungan! Meesa likey disa idea muy muy!

Thats what rocekt assisted grav sleds are for!

I don't know, I really enjoy listening to Qyzen Fess rumble out responses to me, I don't think I would find it annoying to play a Trandoshan and listening to them speak all the time. I quite like Qyzen's rumble, I click him all the time just so I can hear him say things.

But I also think I'm weird.

lol great thread.

My level 90 wookiee commando from SWG would like to have a word with you.

He later said no wookiees can be wookiees in any Star Wars game or movie, however you're still allowed to have wookiee action figures if you own them, only the Ewok ones must be burnt.

Rodians originally tied Twi'leks for my favorite Star wars species, before Miraluka (and Visas for that matter) came along. I would LOVE being a Rodian smuggler.

Wookies CAN speak basic if they are speech impediment
