I love the responses from these threads. In hand to hand combat, no weapons allowed,to the death, who wins: Chewy or Worf?
I have to go with Chewy. In my opinion Worf is the best hand to hand warrior of his age. Just remember what he did facing the JemHadar(probably spelled wrong) soldiers each day in the ring, remember he killed Duras, he killed Gowron. Who knows the body count this guy racked up?
After all that, how can I pick Chewy? Simple. Chewy has the incredible strength, the ability to take a punch,the size, the weight, the reach. I just think that no matter how skilled Worf is, that he could hit Chewy till the cows came home and have little effect. Eventually, Chewy wraps him up in a bear hug and squeezes him to death, or cracks his neck. What do you think?

Worf. He is strong, and far more agile.
And also, the new Star Wars was crap, so it clouded my vision of the old ones.

Yeah definitely have to go for Worf with this one. Like you said Aragorn he has had a lot of experience and has had quite a lot of hand to hand experience aganist the Jem'Hadar.
I think Worf has more primal rage beacuse of the losses and tragedies he has suffered in his life, like the death of two of his "wives". When it comes down to it, it is as much about MENTAL ability as it is physical strength.

Not being a huge Star Wars fan (I've seen the movies, but it pretty much ends there), and not knowing how strong Chewbacca is supposed to be.. I'm going to go with Worf. Worf is a Klingon, he lives for battle. Chewbacca always struck me as more of a gentle creature than that. He does not seem to have the heart of a warrior

I am sorry that The Phantom Menace caused you to become disenchanted(my words, not yours) with Star Wars. I am a huge fan of Star Wars IV: A New Hope and Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes Back. They were darker, more menacing in their feel. Star Wars VI: The Return of the Jedi was Ok until the Ewoks. They ruined the entire movie and hurt the series(IMO). Star Wars I: The Phantom Menace had its' good points. I liked seeing Senator Palpatine(soon to be Emperor), liked Darth Maul,loved seeing a young Obi Wan who could truly fight(no disrespect to Sir Alec Guinness), and was thrilled to see Coruscant. However, Jar Jar Binks and the midi-chlorines were hideous ideas. I'm hoping Lucas gets back to more of The Empire Strikes back feel for the upcoming version.

^Agreed. I also have to go with the Honourable Worf.

4 to 1. I see a distinct pattern developing. Will no one vote for the lovable and furry Chewbacca? I bet Worf couldn't have gotten through Chewy, if Chewy was protecting Han Solo. Remember the life debt that Chewy owes? Well, I can't change the thread now, so I guess Chewy continues to get pummeled.

I agree with your view of Star Wars Aragorn. I felt that The Phantom Menace was directed towards the "child" audience and was a lot less darker than the other Star Wars films. Jar Jar was just too silly. Whereas in the others Star wars movies I felt that anyone coul die, with EP 1, I just knew Jar Jar wouldn't die. Especially that battle scene. Jar Jar was dancing around tanks and stuff whereas in the pervious movies, battles were a lot more SERIOUS and FRIGHTENING!! I guess that does make me a little bias. I agreee with Ana, Chewy seemed more gentler than Worf. Worf had more of a reason to fight - he had gone thorugh so much loss in his life.

Sorry, Aragorn, but I would say skill wins out over brawn. I never had a chance to see Chewbacca do any real hand-to-hand fighting, so unless the Third Film introduces him in some way, I'll have to side with the Worf crowd. If I needed a good mechanic and I owned a rickety spaceship, however....

the lovable and furry Chewbacca? Another reason why Worf gets another vote.

7 to 3 for Worf. The mean, viscious, 8foot tall, fanged, Chewbacca is making a comeback. For those of you who voted for Worf because he had such a rough life, did you forget that Chewbacca was rescued from slavery to The Empire by Han Solo. I think Chewy might have some pretty deep personal issues as well. Just asking
