Here’s a story you haven’t heard, and it’s all about everyone’s favorite Wookie.
After the Return of the Jedi, Han and Chewie fought to liberate Kashyyyk. Once things settled down, Chewie stayed to be with his family. During this time he tried to maintain a steady job to support his family but was used to the excitement of smuggling and rebellions. He eventually decided to start his own business.
You see, Chewbacca has a passion for baking. He never had the opportunity to pursue that passion, until now. Chewie opened his first speciality bakery and specialized in baklava.— a layered pastry treat from some backwoods planet far far away…
This song is all about that first chapter of his adventures as a dessert-focused entrepreneur.
Lyrics
Here comes that furball
Walkin’ through the town hall
Bringing something to me
He slides me some papers
I take a little peek
And this is what I see
It’s looking like a lease
For some kind of restaurant
Selling something sweet
If you ever need a break
From a boring day
Go and sink your teeth
Into Chewbaklava
Chewbaklava
(Guess he’s got a good recipe for…)
Chewbaklava
Chewbaklava
Yeah, that is the name of his place
(“Okay, it looks like there’s only a first name on the permit? Just Chewbacca? Do you have a last name?”)
Everybody feels the crave
Here on opening day
Folks are lined down the street
Han Solo and Leia
Boba Fett and Vader
You never know who you’ll meet
Here at Chewbaklava
Chewbaklava
(Best dessert in the galaxy at…)
Chewbaklava
Chewbaklava
Yeah, that is the name
Of what everybody came for
That is the name of his place
Chewbaklava (x16)
(“Wait–how does Vader even eat that stuff, anyway?”)
(“Um, excuse me, Mr. Chewbacca? There seems to be a hair in my baklava.”)
