This isn't in responce to your question - but it's Wookie related and i didn't think it was worth it's own thread -
In Star Wars creatures on A&E, Peter Mathew said that he was told the Wookies live in trees. They don't speak but they do understand. I always though that they did speak and that only a few understood them.

Given what we see in Ep III, why doesn't Chewbacca give any indication that he is intimately aware of the Jedi and their fight? Seems as if the whole Wookie thing was put in just to be put in.

Well Chewbacca most certainly saw OBi-Wan teaching Luke with a lightsaber, and talking about the Force. You think he would most certainly correct Han about his misbelief in the Force.

Yoda said he a good relationship with the Wookies, not Chebacca.

wrap your brain around this one... If Chewie owes han a life debt for saving him... does Yoda currently owe chewie a life debt for getting him out of harms way?
THINK ABOUT THAT SUCKER!
anyhow. it's clear that Chewie's moans are like folks talking to their pet dogs when they bark. They put in words for them in a sense. So it's all other means of communication.

Chewbacca: Rarrgh rerrrr rarrgh ra.
Han Solo: Boy you said it Chewie. (To Luke) Where did you dig up that old fossil?

Obi Wan could have easily messed with Chewies mind to get him to take them to Han about hopping a ride out of dodge.
And what exactly would Chewies stance be anyway? So, Han doesn't believe in the force. Chewie has to believe the same thing because he is his co-pilot? He is a different race from a different planet who probably has his own beliefs. Why would he have to correct Han about the force exactly?
