Post Aquookies
Image

Image

When Star Wars was released in 1977 the world went crazy. Nearly every
character and even those character's races enjoyed their chance in the spotlight.
Such was not so for the wookies. Most of the race rejected popular press and
exposure, retreating to and adapting to other locations to escape the bright lights
of the Lucas Empire. In 1984 an oceanic explorer on a routine dive discovered
what is now known as the "aquookie". Aquookies are wookies that somehow
hypersped evolution and quickly adapted to the deepest parts of the ocean.
Their fur has become slimy and resembles a bright tropical seaweed. Their diet
and exposure to salt water has transformed their eyes to appear as jewels. No
dive has ever resulted in the capture of a specimen. The aquookie figure is the
result of a few rare photos shot in the mid and late 80's. Aquookies have not been
spotted in over a decade. Many believe them extinct.

Hmmm....I wonder how closely related they are to the elusive "Seawok" on the evolutionary scale...

Funny figs, though.

it was actually some imax movie about volcanoes
underwater and prehistoric life, that i downloaded
i think i somehow split the concept into two
with aquookies and the forthcoming pyrookies

i didnt even know about green limbed chewies
i looked on ebay real quick to see though
i might need one of those
