No reason this armor should be weak. It should somehow incorporate the Kshyy vine. Since the planet Kashyyyk is not in the game, not sure how that would work. For those of you who do not know what Kshyy vine is:
Kshyy vine - a strong, durable plant native to Kashyyyk. Because of its strength, Wookiees use it to haul supplies and other things in lift carts. The kshyy vine can't be cut, even by a blaster shot.

I like it. I'm a wookiee, I think it will fit in nicely, I like the look too.

Five bucks says it takes a ton of organic resources. Guess what - armorsmiths hate organics. This stuff is either going to be ridiculously expensive, of sub-par quality due to resources, or both.
Bummer.
Organics are fine with me. I know a lot of wookiee scouts that would be happy to trade very large piles of hides and bones for any kind of protection. Well, organics are fine for me, for now.

I have just looked at the concept art and read through the entire thread and must say that I am in argeement with some of the posts. We will wear whatever armour comes out due to simple necessity, while it would be great to look good at the same time it is far from a priority. No one wears bone armour, to make our armour similar goes against the idea of making us competitive. As far as the look of the armour my vote is for a different helm. The current one reminds me of a bucket.

Well I have to say that I like it, it so refreshing to see something new and different. I am sooo sick of seeing everyone running around in the same composite armor. Ii is also nice to see species specific armor that reflects the culture (remember wookiees live in huge wroshyr trees and around nature and it is reflected in there architecture and technology. I personally think that a wookiee battleing in a tin can would look silly.
Just my two cents and I have to say good job devs I like it.

Craftable only by Wookiee Armorsmiths like the Bowcaster and Wookiee Weaponsmiths?

Well...umm...camoflage would be easy. Especially if they wanted to hide in a Pier 1.

Looks ugly as sin to me, but hey, at least the Wookiees get armor of SOME sort now. I'd have made it a bit less clunky.

Maybe it has like 90% resist to kinetic and 90% resists to stun?
