Chewbacca goes to the Dark Side

TonyDP

Chewbacca, first mate on the Millenium Falcon, friend to Yoda, and a hero of the Rebellion against the Empire, was arrested for attacking a tour guide in Hollywood. Superman was a witness to the attack. Han Solo was not immediately available for comment. And no, I didn't make any of this up...

Here's a link to the mighty Defamer LA Gossip Rag website, which has a picture of the offending Wookie being placed in the back of a police car.

That policeman is going to have so much fun writing up his incident report. )

Thanks for the link JD. There's also a link on that page to some video, including eyewitness testimony by Spiderman and Pinhead. Only in Hollywood ) )

Thanks for pointing that out. That was the most surreal news item I've ever seen, They treated it so seriously. That just made it funnier. Entertainment correspondent, George Pennaacchio, live at the scene. How could he keep a straight face? Spiderman sounded so affronted by his colleague's behaviour. As for Pinhead, you couldn't understand a word he was saying through his mask, but they used the interview anyway. Also I hope no children were around when Elmo from Sesame Street was getting arrested last year. That could have been a traumatic experience for the under-5's. Hey kids, today's word is handcuffs.

Wait till Commisioner Gordon hears about this. Batman gets lifted by the LAPD.

As if that wasn't enough, our old friend Chewbacca turns up and seems to square-go a crowd of people. If I'm ever in LA, I have to find this street. )

Jimmy Kimmel has footage of this as well. Defamer have posted his take on it.

This guy is a one-Wookie crimewave. Once again the police have an APB on a man (presumably a man unless Wookies are real) dressed as Chewbacca. This time it's for getting a little too frisky with a Marilyn Monroe look-a-like.
