When Wookiees go wild!


Chewbacca is in trouble again, and this time not even Hans Solo can save him.

A costumed street performer, donning the wooly mane of the Star Wars icon head butted a tour guide this week, after advising the guide that “nobody tells this wookiee what to do”.

The incident occurred outside the famed Grauman's Chinese Theatre where it seems a battalion of Hollywood’s pop culture icons gather to have their pictures taken with tourists and for which they like to be paid.

The wookiee wigged out, when he became a little too intense around some Japanese Tourists and was warned off by the accompanying tour guide. Not liking what he was hearing, the six foot five man in the wookiee costume reared back and let go with the Chewbacca special.

Superman and a number of other costumed onlookers were said to be shocked at such behaviour and were more than willing to talk to police about the situation.

Which you must admit probably made for one of the more unusual of police line ups, lets see Law and Order work this ripped from the headlines piece into their scripts!

Normally people head to Grauman's to see the stars, this time they saw stars!
