Chewbacca’s got no chill! Well, at least not in a recently released deleted scene from Star Wars: The Force Awakens. In the scene, which didn’t make the cut in the feature film but was an added extra on The Force Awakens 3D Collector’s Edition Blu-ray, Rey meets up with the repulsive junkyard boss from Jakku, Unkar […]
