Wookieepedia

Wookieepedia is the free Star Wars encycolpedia that anyone can edit.

From the entry entitled “Wookiee“:

The Wookiees, whose name for themselves translated to the People of the Trees, were a species of furred bipeds that were native to the planet Kashyyyk. One of the most noteworthy members of the species was Chewbacca, Han Solo’s friend and co-pilot.

It’s strange enough that people take the time to edit an encyclopedia about the actual world.

Note: Make sure you catch the endearing, senior portrait-like image of Senator Yarua under “History.”

Also, in case you were wondering, the main Wookiee language was Shyriiwook, which had over 150 words for “wood.”
