EPISODE IX: WOOKIEE WONDER!


On set at Pinewood Studios in 2018, a happy J.J. Abrams goes through a scene with Joonas Suotamo, back in the wookiee suit for a fourth (and hopefully not last) time as the faithful hero Chewbacca. For me, Suotamo delivered one of the most genuinely well-played emotional moments in not just The Rise of Skywalker but also the entire sequel saga, when a heart-felt Chewbacca reacts to the devastating news of a loved one's passing. I certainly wasn't the only person getting teary-eyed in the cinema, that's for sure!
