We should start a Robin Hood petition. It worked for Indy....
Can't we start with a Beauty and the Beast petition first...
And yes, I know, much the same fur issue, tho with the Beast, I would expect a mostly clothed version, so really only the head that needs to be sculpted.
Plus, you got to remember we are talking animated characters here, so unlike a real fur Chewie, it would be a somewhat more stylised version of fur to match the movie. Would still be tricky to get exactly right, both from a sculpt and paint point of view, but I'd think still way more doable then Chewie.
