You wouldn’t know it by watching the movies, but there’s a lot of down time in the smuggling game. Even when jumping to hyper-space, it can take hours if not days to hop from one star system to the next. Luckily if one has a Wookie copilot, there’s plenty of grooming that needs to be done to pass the time.
This one actually occurred to me while combing my daughter’s hair. At 18 months she’s nowhere near as hairy as Chewie here, however, she does get her share of snarls and tangles every now and again. Still, as Han proves, it could be worse!
