Ok..dumbest qustion ever. But what was Chewie trying to tell Han? That he did't like the trash compacter smell? Or that his furr was gonna smell once he got out of there? Or was he warning him about the dianoga?

What was chewie trying to say?

Probably just "Oh god, it smells like ass in here!"

My guess is the dianoga, although that trash compactor is one of the most bizarre things in all of Star Wars.

That is, in fact, what he said.

The funny thing is that, as the DVD set's documentary shows, Peter Mayhew actually was given dialogue to say on set before he was overdubbed in post-production. In the original footage clip we clearly hear Chewie say "The old man's mad." in a rather soft voice.

So I'd venture that he says something like "I'm not going down there, it stinks!"

I always thought he was going to complain about the dionaga, but was cut off.

Then I think about it some more, and wonder if he could really smell it over all the Stormshit.

I honestly doubt there was any sewage or such in there, firstly considering that it was a garbage chute and the group was sent to the metals and stuff section.

So what was the pool of liquid they were swimming around in? And what were those floating brick-like things? They're not star wars turd droppings? We have to be sure about these things.

More than likely chemicals and non-oganic materials.

Or water.

I concur -- fluids designed to break down organic and non-organic substances; The scene with Luke and the material in Enemy Lines II: Rebel Stand give credence to that.

Yeah, that'd be more likely.

I was always confused on the "water" level in the trash compactor

one minute there standing up to their ankles the next Luke is taken under and you cant even see bubbles coming up so hes pretty far down than he starts bobbing when the Dianoga releses him for a second so he can say "shoot it, .....anywhere". All the While the other kids in the compactor are still standing in water to their ankles

maybe they were standing on something. . .

Well for Chewie and Leia that can be the case, clearly they are on a mound of garbage but Han was standing right next to Luke when Luke gets pulled under and starts bobbing up and down. Han grabs Luke when it lets him go the first time so hes close enough to have a stable hold. If Luke was under him he wouldnt be to steady holding him

Wasn't Chewie scared for something while they were in the compactor, he stood in the corner and acted scared didn't he?

He looked scared to me. After wards when they are just outside of the compactor, you hear a roar, and Chewie moves away from the compactor and Han says something to the effect of 'get back here you big coward'.

I think it was talked about in an older SWI and then restated in the DVD Trilogy commentary that there was a Chewie characteristic that he was a coward, but it was never brought to fruition.

And the compactor scene was supposedly just some of the material that had that characteristic

Yeah, Chewie was basically meant to be the Cowardly Lion from The Wizard of Oz, with Leia as Dorothy, C-3PO as the Tin Man, the jawas as the munchkins, etc. The shaggy fur around Chewie's face even looks just like that around the Lion's.
