What’s Happening:
- Chewbacca, a hero of the rebellion who was unfairly not given a Medal of Yavin alongside Luke Skywalker and Han Solo (but reportedly given one later), is being celebrated now through March 1st at Downtown Disney at the Disneyland Resort.
- Guests visiting Disney’s Orange County shopping destination, perhaps to visit the Star Wars Trading Post in its new Resistance base location, can stop by the LEGO Store to take a selfie with their favorite wookie, Chewbacca (sorry, Tarfful).
- According to a tweet from Disneyland’s Legacy Passholder Twitter account, it took 36,540 Bricks to create the 7’5” Wookie and 275 hours to build, but doesn’t specify if that was a “Solo” task or one that was completed by an “Alliance.”
- The new Star Wars Trading Post officially opens February 19th and Laughing Place will have full body pictures of LEGO Chewbacca to share.
