It looks like the new one spends a great deal of money and time shampooing, conditioning, and applying product to his hair.

In case you misremembered and thought I was exaggerating about softening Chewbacca to Winnie the Pooh levels.

A lot of things get criticized about the Disney Star Wars, rightfully so, but the abomination they did on Chewbacca gets lost in the mire. Compare how they look. It's egregious. If there wasn't so much other bullcrap with those movies, more people would talk about it. It's a "look how they massacred my boy" situation.

The Disney one looks like if I asked chat GPT to design a homosexual wookie. Literally. It's the only way I can describe it. Like his eyes and bone structure look gay, literally. They somehow managed to make Chewie look like a 50 year old woman with too much botox and plastic surgery. It's like you could imagine Joan Rivers hiding underneath all that fur if you shaved it.

The original he looked feral, not that he wasn't lovable, because he was, but he had a feral look to him.

This new one, I'd be less worried he'd rip my arms off and more on edge thinking any moment he's going to try to give me "fashion tips so I can glow up".

they need to let this shit franchise cool off for about ten years.
