Nerds around the world were rejoicing everywhere when pictures of this sexy Chewbacca costume hit the Internet. This costume is so oxymoronic, I didn't think it was possible. Who would have ever imagined a 100-year-old, 112 Kg Wookie could ever be considered sexy? There have been many interpretations of [Leia's metal bikini](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-x-citizen-rebel-starfighter-boxed-set), but never did I imagine that Chewbacca would be the source of inspiration for such an [exciting little outfit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auntie-annes-and-cinnabon-costumes). The woman wearing the innovating costume certainly deserves a Medal of Yavin for her creativity.

Of course, this sexy Chewbacca costume leaves little to the imagination, but is accurate enough for Star Wars fans to collectively yell a Wookie Howl. Now the true challenge is to see if they can make a sexy Jabba the Hut outfit.
