Tokyo. Sydney. Berlin. London. Madrid. Milan. Chewbacca has seen some of Earth's most important and beautiful cities on his excursion, and he faced a tough choice when deciding the last stop of his tour -- the City of Lights -- Paris, France.

[ Chewie Tour Ends in Paris, France ] First stop for Chewie: the grand boulevard of the Champs-Elysées. There, he stopped in to popular French electronics retailer fnac, where he desperately wanted to buy his own copy of La Trilogie Star Wars He greeted waiting fans outside the store before sauntering the length of the Champs-Elysées to the Place de la Concorde, where traffic ground to a halt while curious French eyes beheld the sight of a Walking Carpet at Cleopatra's Needle.

The Concorde is just across the street from the beautiful gardens of the Tuileries, which prohibits off-leash dogs -- but Chewie knew that the rules couldn't apply to a Wookiee. After relaxing a bit in the gardens, Chewie traveled back up the Champs-Elysées to the awe-inspiring Arc de Triomphe, remembering his own triumphs.

Fans who spotted Chewie during his tour were rewarded with the Star Wars Trilogy on DVD! Be sure to visit our Regional Forums to read about the fans that were lucky enough to catch a glimpse of Chewie during his tour.
