Waiting for Chewbacca
"The air is thick with the smell of doughnuts. Every breath is a sugar-rush. An extra five pounds. A clogged artery. Although Krispy Kreme is only a short walk away from where I’m standing, I will not be tempted by the warm and inviting scent of sugar-slick lard. I will not be distracted. I came here to meet Chewbacca." Chris Haire of MetroBEAT searches for a Wookie, but he finds more: a man who fights flying snakes, a room full of Kit Culkins and the long lost Star Wars Holiday Special.
