Avete presente Chewbacca? Come no? Quell’ammasso di pelo alto più di 2 metri della (fantomatica) specie degli Wookiee? Dai, non potete non conoscerlo, è quello che faceva da copilota nella Millennium Falcon, l’astronave più famosa al mondo, seppure mai esistita veramente se non nella mente fantasiosa di George Lucas. Per chi non avesse (deplorevolmente) ancora capito, si tratta del grosso scimmione di Star Wars o Guerre Stellari, se preferite.
Ebbene, nonostante il suo aspetto terrificante, Chewbacca, o Ciube per gli amici (come me), è un tenerone sia nel film, sia nella vita reale tanto che recentemente ha avuto un momento di nostalgia e ha deciso di pubblicare su twitter più di 90 foto inedite del dietro le quinte di una delle più amate saghe cinematografiche di sempre.
Dunque eccoci qui! Grazie, meriti un bacio Ciube!
N.B. la didascalia delle foto corrisponde col testo twittato dall’attore.
