The most famous Wookiee in the universe can’t totally rely on his growling, grumbling dialog in the iconic STAR WARS. Actor Joonas Suotamo sat down to talk about how he took a 200-something-year-old, 7’6″ creature back to his younger days.

For Suotamo, Chewbacca at 190 years old is a fiercer, less trusting Wookiee than the older and more seasoned Chewbacca audiences originally met in STAR WARS: A NEW HOPE.

SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY releases Friday nationwide in theaters.
