Chewbacca you poetic fuck... must.. not.. cry...

[–]boodle 127 points128 points ago

God I am so sick of people misquoting this, if you people would actually take the time to read the whole speech you would see he actually says:

"Uuuuuuuuuuur Ahhhhrrrrr Uhrrr Ahhhhrrrrr Aaaarhg Uuuuuuuh Arrrrrraaah"

(emphasis mine).

[–]websnarf 47 points48 points ago*

You know, something that has always bothered me about Chewbacca is the really blunt manner in which he deals with issues. I mean it sounds impressive, but I feel his diction is really lacking in the nuance that the subject matter demands. Sometimes eloquent rhetoric just isn't enough.

And before anyone accuses me of anything, I've always been a supporter of the Kashyyyk liberation. This has nothing to do with my views of the so called "clone war" politics.

[–]Harashaw 16 points17 points ago

Yeah, but would you let your daughter marry a Wookiee?

[–]WookieLeaks 15 points16 points ago

oowhoawo rooohu rroo ohooooorahwo, rooohu whwohoworc rroo rhraoaor.

Sometimes eloquent [sounding] rhetoric just isn't enough.

You must be new around here.

Chewie was a fundie? How did I miss it.

I managed to find a short clip, so you can judge for yourself, but it's clearly taken out of context.

[–]BatShitCrazyGolf -1 points0 points ago

Aaarrgghh is a pretty dated term, we prefer to be called Aarghh nowadays.

Best stick to the shortened version or I'll send Wicket round to nibble your knees.

[–]YourMotherIsAFag6969 -1 points0 points ago

Is it too late to climb aboard the BRAVERY train?

[–]leastlikelytosuck 33 points34 points ago

Actually I believe Chewie came forward and said this quote was taken out of context...

[–]sequentious 12 points13 points ago

Is Chewbacca so powerful that he can give himself a name that even he can not pronounce?

Yes.

[–]Zorgius 13 points14 points ago

The fuck is this doing in r/atheism?

[–]3D_Dot_Soul 8 points9 points ago

I'm not crying.... ... ... ;_;

[–]spooky51 7 points8 points ago

You said it, Chewie.

[–]DazzlerPlus 2 points3 points ago

This is the only reply that needs to be in this thread

[–]Grand_Admiral_Theron 1 point2 points ago

Yes, since Han knows Chewbacca's always thinking with his stomach.

[–]Michael659 11 points12 points ago

Whats that Chewbacca? The Millenium Falcon can do the Kessel Run in how many parsecs!?

[–]websnarf 5 points6 points ago

Now that's just condescending.

[–]Bleezy79 1 point2 points ago

Upvote for cool name! Snarf Snarf!

[–]Nightmathzombie 0 points1 point ago

Oh yeah? I can go from Reno to Vegas in 14 miles.........?

[–]squigs 0 points1 point ago

Ah yes but you know there's a fanwank retcon explaining this.

[–]Nightmathzombie 2 points3 points ago

I'm not nerd-cool enough to even know of what it is you speak...but I'm sure it involves a bunch of fanboys and insanely obsessive arguments by people trying to "out expert" eachother on a fictional topic. Or as Chewy would say: "Uuuurrrrgh rrrrawwwrrrr ".

[–]squigs 1 point2 points ago

Basically the explanation is that there's a route going past several black holes. The falcon was fast enough to take a different route.

Personally I think the best explanation is that Lucas made a mistake which is why I branded it "fanwank". It's not all that satisfying as an explanation to me.

[–]Nightmathzombie 0 points1 point ago

Hmmmmm I stand corrected.... so he WAS using Parsecs correctly? TIL.....

[–]Browsing_From_Work 11 points12 points ago

When did /r/atheism become /r/adviceanimals?

[–]1gnominious 7 points8 points ago

I thought Carl Sagan, George Carlin, and Christopher Hitchens were just memes invented by /atheism to combat /adviceanimals.

[–]dirtyliberals 7 points8 points ago

When wasn't it?

[–]mariod505 7 points8 points ago

I always thought it was a version of /r/circlejerk in disguise.

[–]NoCommonCents 3 points4 points ago

SO BRAVE

[–]flaystus 2 points3 points ago

Whatever you think he said I disagree and will murder you if you insist its true.

[–]Carg72 2 points3 points ago

There is wisdom in his gargles.

[–]DrLasagna 2 points3 points ago

Chewbacca is a pompous windbag who has no knowledge of middle america, or the growing issues of heavy business domination over light. Arrogance my dear wookie, is your ally.

[–]headcrusher9 2 points3 points ago

I uploaded the exact same picture and no one saw it T_T

[–]chrisq518 1 point2 points ago

it's all about the set-up and the audience. /r/funny is just too broad.

[–]newaha 0 points1 point ago

You've been on reddit for 7 months, and this surprises you?

[–]headcrusher9 0 points1 point ago

I wasnt even able to upload stuff because it didnt show on the "new" section of any subreddit x.x

[–]newaha 0 points1 point ago

hm, yeah, I think something weird is going on right now, the comment karma is acting goofy, too.

[–]alpacabowlforus 2 points3 points ago

False. These words of wisdom are from Arnold Schwarzenegger.

[–]EnderofThings 5 points6 points ago

here, have an up vote, truer words were never spoken.

[–]coreycubed 5 points6 points ago

You would post this so close to Senate elections. It's bullshit like this that gives the "good ol' boys" at the Jedi Council ammo against us when right-wing symapthizers like Amidala are up for reelection.

[–]WhiteyDude 1 point2 points ago

Yeeeeeeaaaaaaahhhhhhh.

[–]what_is_what 1 point2 points ago

For some reason, his words aways reminded me of dial-up.. No? Just me? That's cool..

[–]Shamussssm 1 point2 points ago

He does believe in Earth Day though (is that right? anyone seen the christmas vholiday special from starwars?)

[–]kettish 1 point2 points ago

Nope, they never made such a thing. Nuh-uh. Just doesn't exist.

[–]BoomboxHero 1 point2 points ago

Wookies are staunch animists, I thought.

[–]Khoops66 1 point2 points ago

I find this hilarious. I needed a laugh after some of the disheartening stories I've read today. My heart goes out to Chewie and everyone else.

Google Translater fails me again

[–]JTurner30 1 point2 points ago

I lost respect for Chewbacca after what he did to Harrison Ford.

[–]alwaysf0rgetpassw0rd 1 point2 points ago

I am so pleased that /r/atheism is poking fun at itself a little bit.

[–]XK310 1 point2 points ago

I'm surprised he's an atheist, I mean, he experienced the force first hand...

[–]ardobbs 1 point2 points ago

So brave!

[–]Combustible_lem0ns 1 point2 points ago

Is this another face of Atheism? I see this being applicable.

[–]Hypershadow987 1 point2 points ago

Well said chewbacca

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

THIS is what the bible should have been.....

[–]textanddrive 2 points3 points ago

Sadly, this is the most relevant picture of a celebrity with added text to be posted in r/atheism at any point ever.

[–]ppyil 2 points3 points ago

Sorry to be a killjoy, but can we just have atheism on this subreddit? It has become too much of a circlejerk

[–]enlightenedmonty 3 points4 points ago

Seriously, this and all those face pictures. I've defended r/athesim in so many discussions, but it's becoming impossible.

[–]AlbertAugust -1 points0 points ago

This is a misquotation, as others have noted. Source.

[–]Makelius 0 points1 point ago

Few words, but they are golden.

[–]fuzzy_brows 0 points1 point ago

Chewbaccca did not say this!! It was clearly a Tusken Raider.

[–]Abedeus 0 points1 point ago

As wise as he's always been. We have so much to learn from him about the ways of life.

[–]whiteandornerdy 0 points1 point ago

Why are we agreeing with this? The quotation clearly shows that Chewbacca is racist against Jawas!

[–]MrCleanupman 0 points1 point ago

Ahhhh hell Chewbacca, go fix the goddamn hyperdive.

[–]PwnyDropSquad 0 points1 point ago

Indeed.

[–]dynamiteownsall 0 points1 point ago

So inspiring...

[–]HireALLTheThings 0 points1 point ago

[–]didymusIII 0 points1 point ago

so wait...i've actually never thought of this...

how did chewbacca get named?

or is he just the Nell of the species and the rest can talk?

[–]betabandzz 0 points1 point ago

I know a guy call CHUY VACA. Every time my family talk about him I just start to laugh really hard and they don't know why. I hope I don't start to laugh once they told me something bad happen to him that could be not nice.

I don't think they had Wookies in mind when they designed these Chewie.

[–]CaptainRallie 0 points1 point ago

That's a good point bear, let's try that.

[–]expendable_asset 0 points1 point ago

well what else would you have said to an ewok who was gently caressing your face whilst you were trying to drive an at-st on endor? i think he was totally within his rights.

[–]WookieeArmy 0 points1 point ago

I shouldn't have had sprite in my mouth when I saw this!

Now I have to clean my fucking laptop.

[–]kadmylos 0 points1 point ago

Actually, this is commonly misattributed to Chewbacca. It was actually first spoken by Francis Bacon in that book that Francis Bacon wrote.

[–]Nightmathzombie 0 points1 point ago

Truer words were never spoken.

[–]kooolcat 0 points1 point ago

Wait...Wookiee's preggers, too?!

Puts me in the mind of that old Fred Durst song: "He did it all to the Wookiee! (come on) the Wookiee! (come on) So you can take that Snooky and stick it up your (yeah!),
stick it up your (yeah!),
stick it up yo!" (Ref)

[–]Jackyxxes 0 points1 point ago

I thought I smelled shit, nasty ass Wookie. :P

[–]HerrBongwasser 0 points1 point ago

you guys are taking this out of the appropriate historical context.

[–]eightofnine 0 points1 point ago

Just..... wow. This is so profound. I need to rethink some things now.

[–]schrodingerkarmacat 0 points1 point ago

I was really hoping to see the comments consisting of entirely Chewbacca dialect.

[–]mariod505 0 points1 point ago

If the republic humans evolved from Wookies, why do Wookies still exist? You can't explain that.

[–]untrustableskeptic 0 points1 point ago

This is without a doubt my favorite quote yet. Best one on reddit.

[–]rusnic24 0 points1 point ago

HE IS MY GOD, HE IS MY JESUS, HE IS MY SAVIOR

[–]kingseed 0 points1 point ago

I read this in Chewbacca's voice.

[–]ElBenito 0 points1 point ago

Fucking....wonderful.....

[–]jarjack 0 points1 point ago

i agree with the last part.

[–]Ace_Pigeon 0 points1 point ago

Honestly it's far too radical and I doubt it will ever work. I mean "Uhrrrr Ahhhhrrrrrr?" really? Not a chance.

[–]AtheistJed 0 points1 point ago

Well said Chewbacca.

[–]PwnBuddy 0 points1 point ago

Wow chewbacca, you would say that. You have a dirty mind chewy...

[–]DiaDeLosMuertos 0 points1 point ago

Well said our furry friend, well said.

[–]Arkhampatient 0 points1 point ago

What you say bout my momma!?

[–]fishdark 0 points1 point ago

Agreed. There is a real need for universal availability of Pepto-Bismol after ingesting a very large pepperoni pizza.

[–]Iamgoingtooffendyou 0 points1 point ago*

Finally something from the cesspool of the internet, /r/atheism, that I can agree with.

[–]Irish_mcdick 0 points1 point ago

I read this and immediately quit my job. Chewie's words have set me free.

[–]LukaCola 0 points1 point ago

And here I was defending the "/r/atheism is not a circlejerk" argument

ಠ_ಠ

(Nah but this is pretty funny)

[–]tencircles -1 points0 points ago

This has nothing to do with atheism. Try /r/funny

[–]MAdamIUB 2 points3 points ago

It is mocking the "faces of r/atheism" that people have been doing today.

[–]tencircles 1 point2 points ago

Wow. I just looked at the front page...people are eating it up.

[–]MAdamIUB 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, I'm already tired of this trend. There have been a few poignant ones, like the woman from UAE, but its mostly just typical r/atheism circle jerking.

[–]tencircles 1 point2 points ago

Sadly it seems that's mostly what this subreddit has become.

[–]TweekToes -1 points0 points ago

Simply profound.

[–]bang_Noir -1 points0 points ago

I think chewbacca speaks in gargled autotune.

[–]FountainsOfFluids -1 points0 points ago

That was a long time ago... I thought they'd forgotten all about it...

[–]Just_Downvoted -3 points-2 points ago

This is the single most fucked up thing I have ever heard on Reddit. Remove this post.

[–]tombot2000 -1 points0 points ago

Now who can argue with that? I think we're all indebted to Chewbacca for clearly stating what needed to be said. I'm particulary glad that these lovely children were here today to hear that speech. Not only was it authentic Wookie gibberish, it expressed a courage little seen in this day and age.

[–]theoriginalbuttnut 0 points1 point ago
