Star Wars photo: Chewbacca gropes Leia

Take a good look at this photo, because witz.org has a sneaking suspicion the reason you never saw it before today is because it was never meant to be seen.

(originally found via a no longer posted Flickr image…)

P.S. Apparently genuine, not Photoshop (update: might be Photoshop)

I knew the wookies couldn’t be trusted with anyone’s girlfriends!!!

Seriously, this pic has been around forever. I saw this pic on a star wars site before episode 1 came out. To my knowlege it is real though.

I think its fro the xmass special in 1977 when they were all high as f*ck.

Comment by Hohum — September 26, 2005 @ 3:27 pm

Hung like a wookie!

I have a tendancy to agree with Hohum.. I keep thinking that I saw something about it somewhere else, still looking though.

Comment by happler — September 26, 2005 @ 3:37 pm

I think it was from National Lampoon or something like it during that time. I remember seeing it as a kid.

What’s it like back in the 90s, guys?

Comment by Monk — September 26, 2005 @ 3:47 pm

Her face looks photoshopped to me. It has a “sheeny” painterly look to it esp. about the mouth area. The shadows also aren’t realistic (look closely in the red areas). It’s a good Photoshop job that can fool most of the people most of the time…. but, I think that this is probably a fake. (a good and funny one, though)

Did you find it on exciting new search engine http://www.google.com ?

Those new Playstation thingies look sweet. I wonder if they’ll ever catch on.

Jesus, guys, have you heard about JFK? He just got shot :(

THIS SUCKS.

Comment by Tron — September 26, 2005 @ 4:53 pm

what really sucks is that you found it on flickr, but didn’t link to WHERE you found it on flickr, or whose account you saw it on. And now the shitty imageshack host is toast.

Gee.. me thinks Han is Solo now

Wow. You guys.

Comment by Darth Van Halen — September 27, 2005 @ 8:12 am

What´s the problem of EXIF having author as Photoshop? I resize all pics I post on my blog using photoshop, even when I don´t edit them.

What if the original poster scanned it and applied some colour treatment just to make it more visible?

That photoshop won´t mean anything.

I never really thought Leia was hot until this picture.

Comment by justin — September 27, 2005 @ 9:09 am

Jesus, EVERYTHING about that photo is obviously fake. The whole thing is a paste-job. The heads, the bodies, c’mon people, get glasses.

Comment by Star Wars fanatic — September 27, 2005 @ 9:50 am

Can’t trust no wookie ! obvious photoshop job, fake shadow and odd look on leia face…

Comment by Humpa Loompa — September 27, 2005 @ 1:25 pm

If you want to see non-faked Solo-on-Leia action, though, just watch Episode VI. When they’re trying to break into the shield generator on Endor, when Leia gets shot Han grabs a full handful of Her Worshipfulness and then immediately moves his grip. Always a favorite pause moment of mine…

Comment by jackechambers — September 27, 2005 @ 1:36 pm

With Han frozen in carbonite Chewbacca was forced back to the darkside…

Comment by harv — September 27, 2005 @ 4:07 pm

I’ve had this particular picture in my “my pictures” folder for a couple years. It’s real. It’s been hard to find but floating around for years.

What’s the big deal. Get a life, Capt. Kirk

Comment by madame defarge — September 27, 2005 @ 9:28 pm

wtf, why do you people think it´s a fake? Like they would NEVER do this for fun? Beeee-atches ||

Comment by Criwe — September 28, 2005 @ 7:04 am

you “it’s fake” people are all fucking stupid. it’s real. it’s goddamned fucking real. the photo has been around since 1979. just fucking get over it. it’s just a fucking photo. jeezus h. christ, get LIVES, people. fucktard reject idiot shit-for-brains morons. fuck.

Comment by nord flangen — September 29, 2005 @ 1:56 am

I would like for this to go on the record as an abstract in the defence that ‘Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back’ is one of the best films that have been created.

ANH Was cruddy, and ROJ was worse than any other Jim Henson muppet movie.

You see, ESB had lots of heart and was the epitome of what a fantasy/space opera ought to be. The emotional energy that was generated by the casts seems to have found outlets in many other forms [such is the case with Fisher and the Chewbacca costume groaping].

And btw, I don’t know why anyone likes *liked?* Boba-Fett. HE was a wuss who had fewer lines than Admiral Ackbar and screamed his way into a giant mouth in the desert!

Comment by Endo Nikki — September 29, 2005 @ 1:23 pm

Maybe he’s not doing what we think he is. Still frames sometimes make people look stupid, just think of Bush…scratch that.

Maybe she’s just imitating the Wookie growl as he’s lifting his hand. Sure it’s in front of a boobie, but doesn’t mean it’s ON the boobie. And that “shocked” look might just be a frame of her going “nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”

Comment by Jheurf — September 29, 2005 @ 2:19 pm

This is what Star Wars should be. I would have liked all six of the films to have been rated ‘R.’ The Star Wars universe is all well and good, but there isn’t the strong emphasis on death, sex and mood as there ought to be.

Perchance this was fated to be for Shadows of the Empire?

Comment by Snipe — September 29, 2005 @ 9:40 pm

Don’t care if it’s fake or not, damn funny. And for those who made comments about how stupid people are for discussing the photo, hello! You’re here posting YOUR comments thereby including yourself in said discussions.

Ergo, you’re just as retarded. Dar!

Comment by marie — October 1, 2005 @ 5:51 pm

Um, the shadow DOES work, assuming there is a light source right of screen, and it isn’t hard to make a face like that, therefore all the people that say its photoshopped have no proof whatsoever.

I’m saying its real. And funny.

I was looking for “animal porn” and all I got was THIS!

Comment by Beer humper — October 8, 2005 @ 7:36 am

Retards- the guy who played Chewbacca is 7′3″ tall, and Carrie Fisher is nowhere close to that.

Oh my god, great picture.
