Fine, But We Won't Take Ewoks

This gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "ugly American"...

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, a Wookiee named Chewbacca growled and howled his way through "Star Wars" movies. On Monday, the actor who played him will take the oath to become an American citizen.

British-born Peter Mayhew will be among 441 people from 77 countries who will become naturalized Americans in a ceremony in Arlington, Texas.

...When he takes his oath to become an American, Mayhew said he'll recite what he can remember and "it will be a Chewie growl for the other parts."
Somewhere out there, my old friend Wojr is smiling. Meanwhile, the real question is whether Wookies can have dual citizenship.
