Itchy
Itchy
Alternate Names: Old Attchituck [script], Old Attchitucck [press
kit], Attichitcuk [The Wookiee Storybook]
Actor: Paul Gale
Description:
Itchy is Chewbacca's father, a gray-haired, cranky, 400-year-old
cuss. [script]
Itchy likes to carve wooden toys for his grandson Lumpy. He also
seems to like having humanoid water creatures sing to him on the
Mind Evaporator.
Details:
Attichitcuk first appeared in an early form as Chewbacca's father
"Auzituck" as far back as the May 1973 Rough Draft of
Star Wars. In scene 135 in the Wookee (sic) camp on Yavin (Yavin
being an early version of Kazyyyk), it says "Chewbacca enters
the largest of the lodges. He is greeted by his father, AUZITUCK,
Chief of the KAAPAUKU tribe; an old and feeble Wookee dressed
in royal skins and headdress." However, Itchy's eventual
role in the Holiday Special wasn't quite so grand.
