This book depicts Lowbacca -- Chewie's nephew -- as being rendered incapable of communicating with the non-Wookiee teachers and students at Luke's Jedi academy on Yavin IV after he loses his translator droid in the jungle.

Why is this so bad, you may ask? Well, it's because of one little thing: neither he nor anyone else in the goddamn book ever thinks to using writing as a means to communicate -- that's why! What, am I supposed to believe Wookiees are illiterate, that they wouldn't bother to acquaint themselves with the writing system of the greater galactic community?! Or is Luke just too cheap to stock the temple with some pens and paper?

WHY MUST YOU SUCK SO MUCH, KJA?! WHY!?
