Hey guys! A new competition is in the offing over in the Edge of the Empire main forum! The challenge is to see who can build the best Chewbacca: http://community.fantasyflightgames.com/index.php?/topic/126771-you-build-the-character-1-chewbacca/
Head on over to the competition thread and post up your builds!
Chewbacca circa 1977
Catch phrase: “Grawl!”
We are in 1977 and George (the GM) asks Peter to build the character of Chewbacca; a large ape-like alien who is the first mate of Han Solo (played by Harrison) a smuggler captaining the Millennium Falcon. He is supposed to help Han maneuvering and repairing the Falcon.
So Peter chooses a Technician – Mechanic which seems the best way to fix things. He chooses to be extra-strong by spending 40 xp to increase his Brawn to 4 and then he spends 30 xp to increase his Agility (he needs to use his energetic cross bow, fire blasters and steer the Falcon). Okay, he may need a higher Intellect, but he will have plenty of skills to do his job of greasy monkey (ape?).
90 xp minus 40 xp for the Brawn and 30 xp for the Agility, this leaves 20 xp for talents and skills.
Since he is a Wookiee, he gets 1 free rank in Brawl. Then he chooses 1 rank in Astrogation, Computers, Mechanics and Perception for the Career skills and 1 rank in Mechanics (another one) and Piloting – Space (he wants to fly the big bird) for the Specialty skills.
With 20 xp he chooses Toughness and Solid repairs (5 xp each) and he increases his Brawl to ranks 2 to smash bucket heads with bare hands.
Br 4 • Agi 3 • Int 2 • Cun 2 • Wil 1 • Pre 2
Soak: 4 (yes, he is naked !) • Defenses: None.
Thresholds: Wounds: 20 • Strain: 9
Skills: Astrogation 1, Brawl 2, Computers 1, Mechanics 2, Perception 1, Piloting (Space) 1.
Talents: Toughened.
Abilities: Wookiee rage (when a wookiee has suffered any wounds, he deals +1 damage to Brawl and Melee attacks. When a Wookiee is critically injured, he instead deals +2 damage to Brawl and Melee attacks).
Equipment: ammo bandoleer.

Could you post this over on the Competition Thread, here? So that people are sure to see it and be able to vote on it, when the time comes.
Man that' almost the exact same build I was going to do, just with outlaw Tech instead.
Done !
The idea of building Chewbacca with starting xp came from a chat with a friend: with the exception of Obi-Wan Kenobi (and if we assume that Luke have a lot of xp to spend during his training with him in the Falcon during the trip to Alderaan), you can built the heroes of the Episode IV with starting xp.
But that’s another contest.
