This is the Wookiee you've been looking for.
Hasbro is releasing an interactive Chewbacca toy that responds to sound, motion, and touch. And, if you're a "Star Wars" fan, its everything you would want in a stuffed animal of Han Solo's best bud.
The 16-inch Wookiee was on display at the New York Toy Fair where companies show off their upcoming line of toys for 2018. Fans couldn't get enough of him Saturday at the company's fan media day showcase.
The "Star Wars" Ultimate co-pilot Chewie roars, laughs, and has 100 different sound and motion reactions.
The more you play with him the more ways he'll respond. Some of the things you can do to elicit a response from Chewie are rub his head or fly him around.
If you give him a little shake, he'll give a Wookie laugh.
If you cradle him in your arms, you can rock him to sleep. And, yes, Chewie snores.
There are also a few Easter eggs to discover while playing with him.
The decision to make Chewbacca into a furry co-pilot was a no-brainer.
"He's in a lot of the movies. He's just the perfect companion, and he has a heart of gold,""Star Wars" director of design and development Steve Evans told INSIDER. "His expressions and the different types of roars, that was an easy choice for a character."
"Plus, with our FurReal team, who are exceptional animatronic artists, we went, 'We'd like some of your expertise on one of our characters.' So we collaborated with them to bring him to life," Evans added.
Hasbro has put out a lot of adorable animals with their FurReal line ranging from cats and dogs to a unicorn.
Is this the start of a line of interactive "Star Wars" collectibles? Could we maybe see an interactive porg in our future?
I can see a porg version," said Evans. "I want to see what J.J. [Abrams] does in [Star Wars] Episode IX, but yeah. This is our first step into emotionally connective characters. The team did an incredible job. So, who knows? Maybe we'll do some more."
"Star Wars" Ultimate Co-pilot Chewie will be available in the fall for $129.99 and is recommended for ages four and up.
