“Wookiee Hunt” is the 22nd and final episode from season 3 of the Clone Wars, and it features an instance of stunt casting! The Trandoshans have captured a Wookiee to hunt, and it’s none other than Chewbacca. This is his first in-universe appearance, from a timeline perspective, and he’d have to be around 180 years old at this point.
He gets to showcase both his brains and brawn on this episode, and for our Clone Wars Briefing, we’ll get into all those details – including a very funny assist with a Jedi mind trick, and one of the most touching scenes with Anakin and Ahsoka to date. Plus, how Chewie is mentioned in the credits, and what it means for his performance in the episode. Punch it!
