Blood Feud: Wookiees vs Trandoshans
Across the galaxy, tens of thousands of species have developed unique civilizations and customs away from the influence of Coruscant. In the Mid Rim system of Kashyyyk, the Wookie culture has flourished in villages atop the native wroshyr trees. This temperate rainforest planet is rich in natural resources, allowing the mostly peaceful Wookies to live quiet, bountiful lives. However, on a nearby planet lurks a sinister threat: the Trandoshans. These cold-blooded hunters take particular pride in claiming the pelts of Wookiee warriors. For many Trandoshan clans, the killing of a Wookiee in the name of their unique god is the final step to take on a hatchlings journey to become a true Trandoshan hunter.

I’ll have a look around.”

Drawings, animations, fan films, cosplays, and the like are constantly created, shared, and admired by the legions of devoted Star Wars fans across the globe.
