NO SURPRISE A WOOKIE JEDI WAS PASSED OVER IN "ROTS" -- WE GOT A WHOLE PLANETFUL INSTEAD.
PIC INFO: Resolution at 663x1126 -- Spotlight on unused concept art for a Wookie Jedi padawan leaner (notice the braid), dated December 6, 2002, artwork by Derek Thompson for "STAR WARS: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith" (2005), written & directed by George Lucas. Lucasfilm Ltd.
"Additional Jedi designs were needed to fight the Clone Wars and for the Jedi Council. Derek Thompson suggested a Wookiee Jedi, but it was not used in the movie. Hmm, a Wookiee Jedi... not a bad idea..."
-- PAUL DUNCAN, film historian and author of two books documenting the making of George Lucas' "STAR WARS" Saga
