   Though he spoke entirely in growls, snarls, and the occasional roar,   
   Chewbacca's unwavering loyalty to Han Solo made him one of the most beloved   
   characters in the franchise. Much more than just the hairy co-pilot of the   
   Millennium Falcon, Chewie's dependability and trustworthiness helped the   
   iconic Wookiee function as the series' ultimate "wing man."   
      
   He was discovered by producer Charles H. Schneer while working as a hospital   
   attendant in London, and cast in Ray Harryhausen's "Sinbad and the Eye of the   
   Tiger.
