Angry Birds Star Wars was released by Rovio in 2012 as a crossover between Angry Birds and Star Wars, with birds cast as heroes from the films. Chewbacca becomes Chewie, a big furry bird whose ability is a roar, and this short growl is his in game sound. Clips of gameplay spread on YouTube and soundboards, and the bite sized roar survived beyond the game as a meme effect because it captures Chewbacca in less than a second and works anywhere a comic growl is needed.
About this sound
Short Chewbacca growl sound effect from Angry Birds Star Wars, the Level 2 Chewie bird roar players use for funny fails, reactions and meme video edits.
This is the tiny Chewbacca roar that plays for the Chewie bird in Angry Birds Star Wars. At just a fraction of a second it is a compressed, guttural Wookiee growl, pitched and clipped to fit a slingshot launch. It sounds more like a sudden grunt than a full movie roar, which is why it lands as comedy rather than menace. Dropped into a video it instantly turns a character, pet or friend into an angry furry powerhouse, and the surprise of such a big voice coming out of a small moment is the joke.
