how wookies are americans too

i just read on cnn.com that the actor who played chewbacca in the star wars movies is about to become an american citizen.

why that news item deserves to be on cnn.com has not yet been determined, but that's not my point. unlike other actors who've played iconic characters, this photo is the first time i've ever seen him, in the flesh:


and in case you're wondering, the wookie is on the right.

He didn't/wasn't allowed to become a citizen until all the StarWars movies were made... coincidence? The threat of deportment will make anyone work harder my friend.
