Well, since Chewbacca has two arms, that appear to have the same range of motion as a human, he would have some form of pectoral muscle. This is just a mechanical requirement for the range of motion shown in the movies.

And yes, I'm ignoring the human in the costume, it's called suspension of disbelief.

As the Holiday special showed, Wookiees are unlikely to have litter births.

Except that's not canon, and the twelfth issue of The Official Star Wars Fact File, released on March 20, 2002, says that female Wookiees have 6 breasts.

Everything I can find says that document is still canon.

This means that litter births are likely a thing.

Scenes in the various shows and movie have briefly show Kashyyyk, there are never enough children shown to justify litter births. You'd expect a lot of identically aged siblings, and what is shown are not many children at all, and almost all of them alone in their appearant age group.

This leads me to one of two conclusions. Either the extra breasts are vestigial, or even with advanced technology, only a few Wookiee children per litter survive infancy.

The question is, why would Wookiee infants not survive into early childhood?

I think Wookie children require a lot of attention/feeding… And/or, Wookie pornography is heavily leaning towards breast fetish.

High effort comment in response to a ridiculous topic. Love it.

They eat each other in a struggle for dominance

Or... the canon is just poorly written sci-fi.

Lots of nipples, but he's also ripped as fuck, but he has that weird belly skin dogs have, so it looks weird.

I'm having hard time visualizing this. Can you draw it?

[–] dumbass@piefed.social 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Unfortunately no, I tried once and a version of me from an alternative future came back to stop me, sorry.

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

That's crazy. Not just the future by an alternative one. Did they travel across dimensions first and then back in time or the other way around?

I don't know man, they came with weed.

Can confirm: I’ve seen that NSFW version and the answer is many luscious teats and a hog the size of a wild ferret with rigor mortis.

Risky click of the day.

Maybe Wookiee are marsupials

[–] WalleyeWarrior@midwest.social 2 points 15 hours ago

I want to know where the wookies names come from. What's the etymology behind Chewbacca? Because it's certainly not coming from anything the wookies are able to say.

My mind went Hansel and Gretel with that sentence and read "trail of tiny treats". Not sure how that related to piglets for a couple of re-reads..
