![]() ![]() Taller people often have to have knee and hip replacements at a young age due to the immense joint pressure. That means that there is some serious downforce on your poor knees. Quadrapeds (four legged animals) however, are able to spread their weight across four limbs whereas bipeds have all their weight stacked over their feet. This is because the forces placed on joints and organs become too great. The tallest people in the world could probably tell you all about their health issues from being so tall. If the wookies were greater than 2.5m tall I would say definitely impossible. That is one big biped. The average human basketball player is 2m tall and weighs 100kg. Assuming the smaller and lighter wookies are female then Wookie body shape is fairly comparable to that of humans. Wookies are 2.2-2.5m tall and weigh between 100 and 150kg. Also it would not of been physically capable of movement during such extreme cold. If the tauntaun did in fact have a lizard’s physiology there is no way it would of kept Luke warm while Han put up the shelter. This is why we see lizards and snakes sunning themselves on the road side. This means they do not produce their own body heat and rely on external heat sources to warm themselves. I love star wars but classifying a tauntaun as a lizard is ridiculous. I say lizard because it is classified as a lizard by the star wars fanbase. The tauntaun appears to be a bipedal (walks on two legs) version of a goat crossed with a lizard. This is much warmer than the night ambient air temperature of Hoth (according to star wars nerds it can get down to -60C) so good thinking Han. Earth mammals have a core body temperature of 36C to 39C. Han solo then sets out to rescue Luke on another tauntaun. Han’s tauntaun dies and is sliced to keep luke warm. The tauntaun first appeared in Empire Strikes back when Luke and his tauntaun are captured by the Wampa (cave dwelling creature). ![]()
