document: Now enters the mighty Chewbacca ! This is it : the moment everyone 's been waiting for ! Ever since The Clone Wars series began 2 1/2 years ago , speculation has run rampant that at some point we 'd see wookiees , and specifically the beloved Chewbacca , before they 're ensnared by the Empire post Revenge of the Sith . '' `` Good relation with the Wookies , I have '' '' , Yoda mentions to his fellow Jedi Council members in the aforementioned film , leading us to speculate where this connection hails from . After seeing The Clone Wars ' latest and last episode of Season Three , '' `` Wookiee Hunt '' '' , premiering tonight , it 's safe to say we do n't get to see this direct connection explored at this time , but the ending definitely sets up for that relationship down the line . Supervising Director Dave Filoni , and Director of this two-episode story arc , has said that new character models created for use in the show are never prepared for one-time use , due to the time and resources they require . This recent interview quip hints at future episodes involving the '' `` big walking carpet '' '' , which may indeed go into that relationship , whose beginnings may 've been broached here at the end of '' `` Wookiee Hunt '' '' ; it 's in the final scene that we see Chewbacca standing on a landing pad with our contingent of heroes , including wise Council Master Yoda . Though there 's no dialogue between them , yet there 's a pervasive sense that a new alliance has just been forged with the Wookiees , who 've protected and saved the Jedi Padawans ; surely this act will not be forgotten , and may be the inroads to a special working interaction in Season 4 and beyond . In my review of '' `` Padawan Lost '' '' I said much about the incredible environments of Felucia and Wasskah , the lighting and animation implemented to bring its breathtaking beauty to life , and the sheer terror the Trandoshan hunters instill as they carry out their cinematic homage to The Most Dangerous Game -LRB- 1932 -RRB- , which I 'm happy to report carries on for this installment as well . I also went into the great characterization of one of the Padawans , Kalifa , and noted how I was looking forward to also being able to become better-acquainted with the two others , O-Mer and Jinx . We do indeed get a good deal of characterization concerning them both , but the real standout , as it should be , is in the animation quality and verisimilitude exhibited by Peter Mayhew 's Chewbacca . It just goes to show the lengths that Filoni and crew are willing to go to in translating the zeal and energy from the live-action films into a medium that will better connect the two trilogies into the cohesive 13 hr . epic we know so well . Most would never even question that an actor in a big furry suit has a particular grace and style that 's inconic and instantly-recognizable , yet you know it when you see it . The fact that The Clone Wars team brought Chewbacca actor Peter Mayhew into the studio for reference works so well , you 'll be gasping at the sight of him in action , and instantly recognize that he truly is the one and only actor for the role . From his expressive eyes , to his real-life 7 ft. 3 in . lumbering stride , to the casual way he leans back into a relaxed pose , it 's all Chewie . And with Mayhew 's practiced Wookiee growl through the years at conventions , for the first time it 's his voice helping to bring the zoo animal-sound mixture into the familiar and resonate growl we all know and love . Advertisement The action in this episode is indeed intense and engaging , and visually-pays off what fans have long heard of , yet never yet seen : Wookiees engaging in battle against the slithery Trandoshan slavers that would ensnare them . Having Ahsoka and the two remaining Padawans in the mix of the battle makes it that much more thrilling , and I would be remiss if I did n't mention the superb blending of iconic John Williams ' Star Wars musical themes in all the right places ; never overused , it is implemented by series ' musical composer Kevin Kiner in just the right dosage to really get the gooseflesh standing up in all the right moments . In other words , Chewie 's big return is all it 's been hyped up to be , and if it 's not already more than enough that we 'll be seeing the survivor Darth Maul back in action down the road , one can now begin dreaming that a future Chewie appearance will be graced by his rescuer , a brash young Corellian pirate who turned mainstream audiences onto the sci-fantasy epic in the first place , with his cynical everyman point-of-entry into that world as Han Solo . As always , there are never any guarantees of that , but just my own speculation ; but however George Lucas , Filoni , and crew forge ahead with Season 4 , we can rest assured it 's only going to be nothing short of continuing to be mind-blowing . Season 3 wraps up tonight with '' `` Padawan Lost '' '' , followed by '' `` Wookie Hunt '' '' during a special 1-hour finale on Cartoon Network , beginning at 8 PM ET/PT . And as always , episodes can be purchased in iTunes , or watched streaming-for-free beginning Mon. . Apr. 4on both starwars.com/clonewars and cartoonnetwork.com . If tonight 's broadcast follows-suit with past seasons , we 'll be graced with a 1 min . sneak peek at what lies five months ahead with the beginning of Season 4 . If that happens , be sure I 'll be writing a separate write-up analyzing it in vivid detail later tonight !
