I haven't seen this mentioned yet:
Anyone notice that a wookie set to max weight will have their hands disappear into their body? My poor pink and purple wookie creature handler has no hands most of the time!!

Sounds like a not very nice bug... I hope one of the avatar-designers among the devs will find some time to look into this...
May the Force be with you all!

Eh, it's not really a bug - it's just that there's just the one straight-up frame to choose from and if you adjust it too extremely the default frame doesn't look right with the adjustments. When you make a Mon Cal or a human fat, it just goes out front. With Wookiees, it goes to the sides as well, and their hands sink into their sides. The sigiled waist wrap, too, is terribly terribly thick, and I used to know a Wookiee musician who had max height and weight and wore a sigiled waist wrap. When he didn't have his hands in front of him playing a slitherhorn, he lost the vast majority of his forearm somewhere around his hips.
Hey, that might be a neat idea -- new default body types. Likely we'll never see them, but I got very annoyed the other day when I tried to give a Zabrak male a less pec-tacular chest and we had to give up. He was stuck with that well-toned rib cage.

That is an icky glitch
I imagine it probably falls into the category of being a difficult thing tofix since they'd have to change how the wookiee weight is added on plus adjust all the wookiee clothing... I'll pass it along nevertheless

Word is the art team is aware of it and would like to fix it one day but such an event would not happen until well after JTL.
