    In @StarWars #TheForceAwakens, apparently Wookiees don’t age, or they age much slower than human actors do.

        @neiltyson @StarWars Wookies have much longer lifespans than humans in the canon. Everyone knows that. Chewie was like 150 when he met Han.

        @neiltyson @starwars That was already canon. Besides that's nothing compared to the aging mechanics of the Emperor played by Ian McDiarmid

        @neiltyson @StarWars In a movie where one character is over 1,000 years old you wonder about the wookiee's aging?
