3. Chewbacca’s Dad Being Down With The Swirl

Itchy, Chewbacca’s father, has some futuristic doohickey delivered to the house by an inventor friend (played by Art Carney of THE HONEYMOONERS…don’t ask) and we quickly realize that this contraption’s purpose is for the old Wookie to satisfy his basest urges with some Star Wars universe pornography. And shock of all shocks! When Itchy goes looking for porn his preference is in the form of chocolate.
Yep, Chewbacca’s dad is down with the swirl and the swirl in this case is veteran actress Diahann Carroll dressed up like a Las Vegas showgirl and making come hither eyes at Itchy before singing a love song to him. Now that may sound very staid and decidedly unsexy to you but the look on Itchy’s face when it is over confirms that he got his life from the experience.
