Original Chewbacca concepts:

I hate to be that "negative" guy again... but there is a reason why these (imo bad) designs did not make it past the drawing board.

There's nothing wrong with the design. It happens to be my second favorite concept figure behind the McQuarrie Vader. I actually wanted Kenner to make this when I was a kid. Only took three decades...

If Lucas had not seen the July 1975 issue of Analog magazine, it might have been a different story.

And yes, that cover is where my handsome visage comes from. ;)
