I like it, looks quite good.
People are rather hypocritcal though as most combat players would wear a clown suit if it offered 80%+ resists to damage.
Also whilst you are giving us new wookie armor, could you fix all the broken old ones? Tantel, PSG's and RIS?

So thast a joke right Q? that is not what wookiee armor is really going to be is it? I was reading a book for SWG last night that had stated Chewie had a space suit on board the falcon that encluded a helmet and boots, they made it sound exactally looking like a humans just bigger.. so why are wookiee's stuck to having armor that makes them look like they came from Wizard of Oz? Next thing you know our droids will be sqeeking out *oil* lol but honestly thats not going to be it is it? and you said LucasFilms aproved this? who's in charge there, do they hate wookiee's?

How about stats? Any idea what defenses they'll have, etc?
I tried to get that info for the Feature, but they are still being worked out by the devlopers. I can tell you that this will not be the strongest armor because we intend to add more in the future. I'm guessing we'll release those next week.
This here Wookiee thanks you.../roar!
I hope we get to see a more 'techno'-armor version. I like the look of this though...

i suppose this is 'bone armor' for wookies (bone armor looks ridiculous also).

You kidding? That looks pretty damn authentic to me. Straight out of Kashyyyk.

err not sure how much i like that one....
i think whoever is designing these things needs to get in touch with the star wars universe a little more. wheres the grime? wheres the grit? wheres the wookie that looks like he'll rip your arms off? certainly not here. i seem to remember one of the devs talking about making the art havea more "lived in" feel, making it look more worn out, dustier, more like the broken downlook of episode IV and less like the shiny, glitzy episode I.
i know that wookiee armor was never shown in the movies, but you could at least make it look like it would fit there if it were. this guy looks like an ewok could take him down.
thanks anyway for showing us the art, even though its too late to have an effect on the final design.
i really do appreciate a chance to voice my concern and my calls for a more "star warsy" game.

The good news, wookies get armor! The bad news, they now take double damage from flamethrower DOTs 
Just kidding, the armor looks great Devs! I'mglad you could pull off something so creative, I imagine custom colors will go a long way toward making wookies in this armor look unique.

It looks terrible. I am still glad that I deleted my wookiee.
