What do you buy a Wookiee for Christmas (If He Already Has a Comb)?

In the new issue of Lucasfilm's official fan magazine, Star Wars Insider, Wookiee hero Chewbacca sashays into the spotlight, along with former Emperor's Hand (and new Mrs. Luke Skywalker) Mara Jade, who graces the cover of Insider #47. The much-anticipated cover story features exclusive interviews with Mara Jade creator Timothy Zahn and the woman tapped to become the first "flesh and blood" version of Mara, Shannon Baksa.

Readers also will hear from the creators of Union, the new comic that covers Mara's marriage to Luke -- and look ahead to the upcoming comic Chewbacca. Also, in a new interview, actor Peter Mayhew talks about the "death" of Chewbacca in the Expanded Universe -- and Del Rey Books talks about how it came it came to its decision.

The magazine also features a new edition of Star Wars Rocks, exploring and unearthing some of the glorious and bizarre music inspired by the Star Wars saga, as well as a new Star Wars Rocks poster from artist Hugh Fleming, whose original SWR poster has become a fan classic. In addition, Star Wars Insider #47 features the performer behind Rebel hero Nien Nunb, a look at the Creatures of Episode I, an angry diatribe from medical droid 2-1B, and all of the latest news from the Star Wars universe.

Comb not included.
