The Wookie Family
Who among us hasn’t been smitten with Chewbacca, the lovable Wookie? His past and origins, on the other hand, were mostly ignored, leaving followers hungry for more knowledge. This charming family portrait provides us a rare look into one of Star Wars’ biggest heroes’ origins. On Kashyyk, Chewie’s family includes his father Attichitcuk, son Lumpawaroo, and wife Mallatobuck. Chewie came home and reunited with his family after the galaxy was finally freed from the empire’s control. What a lovely group of people!

The Legendary Title Sequence
The original trilogy’s rollup was constructed with physical models that were laid out on the floor, which looks weird in this age of computer-generated images. The crawl effect was accomplished by moving the camera along the model, which was two feet wide and six feet long. “Every little blemish shows up. Any little bump, any little movement of the camera is going to screw up this big 2,000-frame-long take. It’s fun, but pure torture,” said Ken Ralston, the visual effects supervisor for Return of the Jedi.
