Chewbacca Speaks English

- In this behind the scenes footage of Star Wars, we see actor Peter Mayhew speaking Chewie's lines in English (or Galactic Standard). Kinda jarring, isn't it. From the Deleted Magic fan edit by Garrett Gilchrist.

Somehow I love that "Arruuuuuurrrrrrrr!!!" translates into an extremely British "That old man's mad!".
Well I figured it was something along those lines.
“Well you said it Chewy!”
"I am groot."
That's why you should do your Duolingo, kids
You litterally said it chewie.
This is what Han actually hears whenever Chewie speaks.
no shit
TieLandProductions i love chewbacca but that would be annoying as hell
Maybe chewy never really could speak in any language Maybe it was all in han solos mind. you know like that dog show with Elijah Wood
@@MrJonnyPepper Wilfred 😂
Yh we know.
Now this is what Chewie sounds like after someone gave him that glass of water he has been asking for for 3 movies
Always gargle before a takeoff!

Chewie: “that old man is mad”
Han: “AAARARRRGWWWH”
i weirdly pictured that in my head XD
@@solidsnake4595 Me too, thanks to you D
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The Kashyyyk edit is totally different.
fun fact: han solo can canonically speak shyriiwook (one of the three wookie languages).
Now I want to see the Star Wars movies with Chewbacca having a British accent.
Dank_Shrimp There is no such thing as a "British accent". There are dozens of accents.
and one of the dozens is a British accent
Chewbacca in Love.
it's an english accent as peter mayhew is from surrey, england.
And a monocle.
Hodor: "Hodor"
Groot: "I am Groot!"
Chewie: "That old man's mad"
All 3 of them are fucking Pokémons!

It makes so much sense that the cast thought Star Wars was going to crash and burn knowing that the movie seemed like this from their point of view.
Ngl, if a friend of a friend of a friend asked me to be in his crazy idea for a movie based on a Japanese film from 20 years ago but with space nazis and a talking dog-man, I probably would've said "sure whatever" but not bothered showing up to the premiere.
It was also a total mess and didn't even have a basic point of tension in the finale. The editors radically changed the movie in post to make it good. Have a look at "How Star Wars Was Saved in the Edit", it's fascinating.
@@AD-kv9kj It's also not true, one might say editorially manufactured
@@AD-kv9kj Saved in edit, and sound design. The sound design, man...
IS NO ONE SERIOUSLY GOING TO SAY IT?! Alright, I guess it's up to me.
-Yes, it seemed like it would crash and burn, FROM A CERTAIN POINT OF VIEW
The idea that Chewie, in wookiee speech is much more well spoken than Han is highly amusing. It was a real missed opportunity for the new movies to not play up how intelligent Chewbacca is instead of degrading him into a pet that gets passed from one human to another.
Honestly. The Wookiee was a genius, he just owed Han a life debt.
they didn't in the originals either, he was essentially comic relief
Another opportunity lost is that Chewbacca is supposed to be extremely strong but I can't really think of a single example in any of the Star Wars movies where that is demonstrated.
Peter Mayhew has a bad knee, so they got a new guy to play him in the sequel trilogy. But in The Force Awakens Chewie gets shot and I thought, "Ooh! They could have Peter play Chewie for this part of the movie and his limp would fit in perfectly!" but that was yet another missed opportunity. On the other hand, something similar may have been offered to Peter but he turned it down in favor of being an on-set consultant for the new guy.
@@JustWasted3HoursHere actually, Peter Mathew had surgeries and reprised his role for TFA. It was after that when they replaced him.
@@jordanhendrix2619 Joonas Suotamo was Mayhew's body double in The Force Awakens though, doing scenes that required extra physical activity. I'd be interested to know what scenes he did and which scenes Peter did.
They had the actors of creatures speak English so he other actors (like Harrison Ford) knew what they were actually saying.
Mega FIare Studios : oh really? Wow, never thought of that...
Jaba The Hut few words in English.
Old Jedia Mind Trick
Don’t worry pal, we know. 😉
Mega Flare Studios honestly they probably just read the script. Actors don’t just improv their lines normally, it happens but not all the time.
No, they have a script. It's just a place holder for Harrison Ford to say his line at the correct point
He can talk...
He can talk, he can talk, he can talk, he can talk....

About 10 years ago, my dad unknowingly sat next to Peter Mayhew on a connecting flight from Sacramento for 2 hours. He helped him hold his cane as he was struggling to find room to move around. They talked on and off and he said he was very kind and polite. When the flight was over Mr. Mayhew thanked him and left. It wasn’t until last year my dad realized that he sat next to Chewbacca for two hours lol. RIP Chewie
Your old man’s mad.
@@truesoulghost2777 Boy you said it, Trueie...
Aww what a lovely story! Props to your dad for helping him!
I just realized that there must’ve been actual lines for every single time that Chewbacca spoke. That’s a lot of lines that will never be heard.
its probably in the script...
Someone should ask Harrison Ford.
Its like that in most movies with a created language. The actors all deliver thier lines in the same language so everyone knows where they are in the script, then only the characters who "speak" that language would react like they understand.
@@KomradeDoge True! It’s the same thing they do with Groot; characters who can understand him get a special translated version of the script, so even if “I Am Groot” is the only thing uttered on set, the people who need to know what he’s saying can. (In the first film it was just Rocket, but all the Guardians understand him by the “Teen Groot” post-credit in Vol. 2.)
Why isn't that version of the script out there?
There is a rumor going around that the Old Man is mad!
Now, Chewie is Surrounded by Old People in the ST.
He's just a crazy old wizard.
351cleavland I don’t think so, I don’t think he exists anymore.
Now we know. It's Biden.

If you dig up old scripts ALL Chewbacca lines are scripted. Lukas just though audience imagine what he says would be more entertaning.
Chewie with an English accent reminds me a lot of Cornelius from planet of the apes.
Roddy McDowell I think, and you are absolutely correct. I'm almost beginning to wonder if it actually is him.
Spaceballs?! Oh shit, there goes the planet!
He was born in London
I knew it reminded me of somerhing
English is a language, not an accent.
when this is recommended to you 10 years later.

Where did it dig up this old fossil?
I knew it!!! he could speak the whole time!!!
HitokageProduction right?!!
It's what Han heard whenever Chewy spoke...
because Han was CRAZY!!! =)

One good example of when you seriously *_don't need_* CGI effects, and when a simple costume gets the job done extremely well.
Chewie is such an underrated character, he always had the high ground and never had any credit for it.
The lips actually move pretty well with his speech, now I'm interested in what he says in all the other scenes.
There's this scene too: ruclips.net/video/CSddlLmuEn0/видео.html

Chewie with Sam Jacksons voice: "Say 'What' again motherfucker!!!!"
"This motherfucker's mad!"
What about the droid attack on the wookies?
Is anyone else blown away by the fact there were actual lines written in the script for Chewie?
This means that whenever he growled throughout the three movies, there was a written line of dialogue.
I mean, I get why, for practical reasons (to help the other actors, especially Ford), but still.
They did the same for Knight Rider.
That's why the first part of season 1, Kitt and Michael didn't quite seem to connect.
After Anthony Daniels and David Hasselhoff met at a party, the rest of the show was great.
During the shoots, someone off screen would read Kitt's lines, and David would make like he was talking to the car.
Anthony Daniels was at the other end of the country, playing Mr. Feeny.
@@danieljones317 That was William Daniels.
He was in a nursing home the same time as someone I take care of was, and I had the chance to talk with him and let him know how much people still loved him. Just a couple weeks later, he was gone.
"Finally! Two trilogies and not a single word! Now wheres that bitch that called me a walking carpet?!?!"
***** Sweet reference
Guitarbro221 I don't understand the refrence
Liam Leonard Robot Chicken
Man, that was actually pretty clever. It lets Harrison converse with Chewbacca without it seeming forced or made up. Peter Mayhew says his lines normally, and then they dub it over with growls.
thank you captain obvious
@@holliswilliams8426 You promoted him just like that! :D
Fun fact, the actor in the costume actually delivers lines in order for the other actors to know on set what he's saying and to help film in terms of dialogue length. That way the rest of the cast doesn't need to look off at a chalkboard for that... The actors know only Han understands the Wookie... Language? But it just helped everyone with delivering dialogue.
🫡 Captain Obvious
I'm glad every third comment is someone explaining this. It isn't like it is bleeding obvious or anything.
How does that voice fit Chewbacca so well?
Also know that now I want an entire "Star Wars: the original trilogy but Chewie gets translated" where we hear him have a eligent British accent.
Rest in peace Peter Mayhew you will be missed

"That old man's mad"! I just LOVE the way he says that with that British accent. RIP Peter Mayhew. You've done cinema and pop culture history an indelible service, and I thank you for your invaluable contribution to THE single greatest film I have ever seen.
Between this and Vader’s original voice, I would really love to watch the original rough cut of this film before they did all the voice overs
No you would not. The orgiinal cut gave the stuido heads at fox good reason to believe this movie would fail...and trust me, the original script stinks.
@@Kornknealious yes saw a vid on it, it was like the prequels all over
@Kath Octogon it's cool to see how well everyone had something specific to react to
Yeah good luck with that, they won't even release the 1977 theatrical version now.
@@robharris4646 Pirate it
Not gonna like, I think it's way funnier that you can clearly hear the stormtrooper armor's plasticiness.
Yes! I was thinking the same thing!
It is made of plastoid composite....But then again, armor sounding like medieval plate armor would have been a bit too clanky.
Better than Vader's original voice.
+dafuqawew That was because he said the Star Wars was shit and he didn’t want to be associated with it. When making A New Hope he thought the film would bomb and no one would like it, so he requested to be removed from the credits in order to never be associated with it.
From what I read, that isn't true. Prowse didn't harbor any ill feelings towards Star Wars beforehand. He was even offered a choice between playing Chewbacca or Vader.
xxlCortez you’re so right
I thought it was Mayhew who was offered Vader.
@@Tuckerscreator
Peter Mayhew and David Prowse, as well as Kenny Baker, were able to get iconic personalities across without a single line of dialogue in the finished film. The mark of a great actor.
Apparently there's a secret version of the script with Chewie and Artoo's lines in, because they've always actually said scripted lines only to be dubbed over with other stuff.
Crusty Pete's Day Old Meat Platter I'd love to read that so much.
Don't know if this is true, but I heard Artoo swears like a sailor! (But it makes sense.) XD
GoDamnWeird Makes perfect sense, classic comedy pairing, uncouth yob and delicate pillock.
The one scene I can definitely see this happening with Artoo is when he has a convo with Threepio about replaying Leia's message after Luke gets called for lunch/dinner by Beru. Even the beeping after Threepio tells him "No, I don't think he likes you at all," sounds like Artoo's version of "Do you?"
In Ben Burtt's language/travel guide/sound autobiography book, he has written out one of the scenes with dialogue between Artoo and Threepio.
Now next time my dog growls all I’m gonna hear it say is: “that ol’ man’s mad!”
Lmao, good one
Chewie has a surprisingly calm and pleasant voice.
I love how Peter's voice fits so well with chewy. Rip ❤️😢
"That old mad is man."
"You're 200 years old yourself, fuzball."
Do you mean: That old man is mad. You said that old mad is man.
@@Marco_Carlucci
That's coz he's mad
He's still middle aged in his species.
He said "the old man is mad." Not "the old man is old."
After studying at Cambridge, Chewie used his PhDs in physics and economics to become a world-class pilot and smuggler on the Millennium Falcon, making the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs.
I heard Chewbacca did well on the Cricket team at Cambridge.
A parsec is a measurement of distance, not time! What an idiot!
@@davidvoinier6008 I hope you're joking. It's a direct quote from the movie.
Makes sense creatures would deliver lines in english so the other actors could have the appropriation reaction to them. And then they probably put the growls in post-production
No one:
RUclips: *HEEEERES A VIDEO thats 10 YEARS OLD*
That toxic Kid 8* . Close enough.
It'd be funny if he finally started to speak English in episode 9 and then have the characters exclaim how surprised they are that after all this time that he's able to do this.
Or that he could talk but he drank some bleach as a teen.
The Secret Life of Wookiees.
RIP Mr Mayhew…he had a home not that far away from where I used to live (years ago) and since my family was part of the local SW costuming groups we went out to dinner with him several times. I can definitely imagine him politely snarking at the other actors from within the suit. He and the original Boba were the two actors that we saw the most when I was active since they had somewhat local residences.
Our groups were often tasked with escorting actors at conventions and other events both to add ambiance and to serve as a buffer. I don’t know if the groups are doing this anymore, my health tanked a while before Disney bought the franchise and then family issues interfered once I got better.
It’s now my headcannon that all Wookiee sound like gentle British dudes to people who know their language.
Rest in Peace, Peter Mayhew. You'll never be forgotten!
Finally! Two Trilogies and I haven't said a damn word! Now, where's that bitch that called me a walking carpet.
I remember hearing this in Robot Chicken
It's good to know Chewbacca has very lovely vocals

“Where did you dig up that old fossil?”
Indy: This belongs in a museum!!
True story. I found Mr Mayhew’s house in a small town called Boyd, Tx. It was a very quiet and remote area outside of Fort Worth and the perfect place to retire for such a beloved character.
"That old man's mad" is the only thing Chewie knows how to say in English. Han taught it to him.
Well, that is Peter' voice, bear in mind most of the supportive cast were British, but hearing Chewbacca talk like that is hilarious 😆
I always knew underneath the roars and growls that he was in fact, an English gentleman all along!
Which website did Chewbacca create to share Empire secrets?
*Wookieleaks*
Alright, I'll give credit where it's due. That was good.
@@TheFirstCurse1 Not really.
this is definitely what Han Hears, when Chewbacca roars.

More than 13 years later and I think Chewie has a nice voice.
WOW..... since childhood.... NEVER IN ALL MY LIFE did i expect to see a day when i hear chewie talking english
I'm speechless
A Sith and his apprentice were eating wookie younglings.
The master asked his apprentice, "How is you dinner?"
He looked up and answered, "Not bad, but its a little Chewie"
Does anyone else think that Chewbacca having this voice would have made the Star Wars movies so much more interesting?
I would be very surprised if they didn't, considering they archived everything shot for any Lucasfilm production (as seen in the interesting featurette Anatomy of a Dewback).
I want a official release version just like this!

meh. there was the star wars christmas special
There’s something funny hearing peter’s voice coming out of chewie, it’s like a joke with how you’ve got this giant angry bear looking guy, but he’s actually soft spoken.
Now I want a Star Wars version with subtitles for Chewie.
you can sort of tell that they meant for chewbacca to speak english but the movement in the mask was shit and lip readers could only see "aahhhh ahh"
Frederick Bird : cute, but that’s wrong
Actually met the man at a convention-talked for just a bit when they went to call him up on stage-his wife, at like 4ft6, came, got him by the hand, walking him to the stage, was hollering " Look out, Giant killer coming through!!"
Imagine a movie with this Chewbacca voice and the David Prowse Darth Vader
Or Jordan Peterson as Vader.
That's incredible.
I never thought I would be able to understand Wookiegab.
Whoever recorded this, thank you!
My theory is that all Chewie ever talks about is his medal he never got.
Does that mean that R2D2 spoke English so everyone could understand. Kekek
and Jawas too. Utini!
So damn cool, id love to see the whole movie like that ❤
He lived about 15 minutes from me. Would see him or family out sometimes. Very nice down to earth folks. Amazing the people you meet.
I gotta admit Chewy's got a really smooth voice
He just had a really bad cough all those years. Nice to see he found a Gas Station that sells Cough Syrup.
Seek out the ESB scene where Chewie is bitching at Han for not helping with falcon repairs.
Fascinating! I never knew that they added his legendary growling post production..
I’m really glad they got the actual shot used in the film at the end
Rest In Peace, Peter Mayhew.
AAAARGHHUUURRRRGGGG!
Lmao I can’t stop saying, “the old mans mad” 😂
I need more of these. I’d love subtitles for chewy and R2
I can't help but be reminded of Bungle from the TV series 'Rainbow' xD
Never knew chewy spoke the lines so the other actors react to it.
This is the best looking of the chewbacca heads they looked different later in other parts of the film

I adore Han just leaning into Chewie like it's nothing and Chewie is completely unphased. It's such a cute aspect of their friendship
I love how on the third try Harrison actually puts in a lot more texture and emotion in his lines
It is now forever in my headcanon that THIS is what Chewbacca sounds like to other wookies.
