Quoted from Brijam:

Thanks, I know the definition of a cannibal. I'm pretty sure everyone understood perfectly what I meant.

But if we're going to descend to pedantry, it isn't correct to put quotes around "Wookies" either.
I don't need to watch it again. I've seen original movie a stupid number of times. So you think Solo was trying to be helpful to C3PO, warning him that Wookies were so dangerous and unpredictable they'd tear people's arms out of their sockets over losing a game? Care to explain why you think so?
Because Solo never liked C3PO, not from the first moment they met. He was taking the piss out of C3PO, trying to shut him up and keep him from needling his buddy Chewie.
Chewie was a chicken shit. That was a big part of his charm. Solo goes "c'mere ya big coward" when Chewie runs away from the trash compactor monster! Chewie doesn't shoot a SINGLE PERSON in the original Star Wars. Chewie runs away, over and over. He shoots out cameras, not people. Because he's a chicken shit. Go back and watch it.
Partly that's because Wookies, according to official canon, are an enslaved race. They've become enslaved because as a people they /don't/ rip people's arms out of their sockets, or they wouldn't be very good slaves, would they? If the Wookies were badasses like, say, the human Maori or Thai, they'd never allow themselves to be conquered.
I don't expect ordinary people to notice or care about these details. But I do expect the writers to. Unfortunately the writers literally lost the plot, and the result is in the box office.

Sure, I can easily close my eyes and play make believe about how Solo and Chewie may have changed over the years. But my hope was that I wouldn't have to do that, and that's what I'm so disappointed about. At least we're not going to get a sequel (thank god) because the film is tanking at the box office. It's the worst performing Star Wars ever, and the worst Star Wars ever, which is saying a lot.
