After all this time, Chewie seems to have joined the dark side. Police in New Orleans have released a picture of a man in a full Chewbacca costume who they have accused of stabbing someone last Saturday night. NOPD officials said the man is believed to be a street performer and the head of his costume came off during the altercation—but, unhelpfully, police only have a picture of the suspect with the Chewbacca head on. According to local news site NOLA, witnesses who saw Chewie headless said he appeared to be a man in his twenties. Police haven’t provided an update on the victim.
