They'll sell PC Wookie(e)s on the cashshop eventually, probably for $1000.00 per character unlock.
Real Star Wars space combat please, not Star Wars Fox! Maybe some PvP and flight too?
Goretzu's Law: As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving "Entitled" approaches 1

Wookies are doable: universal translator. Make it optional, so that players can choose to toggle between an endless series of (subtitled) grunts—for a draining, but more faithful-to-lore experience—and a fully-voiced over alternative. This would apply to any of the other more agressively exotic species.

However, if I were Bioware I wouldn't be rushing to this anytime soon. There are plenty of much easier to implement, more humanoid-looking species in the SW universe which they could churn out at a much lesser cost while still getting almost the same amount of pleasure from players as they would with Wookies.

Wookies! Because the fact you've done this flashpoint 50 times before isn't enough incentive to skip conversations :/

And yet, where is SWG? Oh that's right, it is laying right next to Matrix Online in the MMO Graveyard. Yeah, SWG did soooo well.

Same arguement? No, not really considering there are Non-Humanoid Species that CAN Speak Basic and CAN easily wear Equipment and wouldn't need completely different systems set up just for them.
