About this sound

Chewbacca's deep Wookiee roar from Star Wars, a guttural growl fans use for funny reactions, memes, and dramatic entrances in short videos online.

This is the deep, throaty roar of Chewbacca, the tall Wookiee co-pilot from Star Wars, built from layered growls, groans and barks that rise and fall like an animal call. It sounds huge and hairy, at once friendly, confused and fiercely protective, with a rough, rumbling texture that is instantly recognisable even without a picture. Hearing it brings the Millennium Falcon, Han Solo and a galaxy far away straight to mind, and it makes a viewer smile because the sound feels both wild and warm. It works as a joke, a greeting or a sudden burst of Wookiee energy.

Pro tip

Drop it on the reveal, when a tall friend, a hairy pet or a messy room appears, and cut the music underneath so the growl lands cleanly. Pair it with a slow zoom and do not loop it.

More information

Chewbacca first appeared in Star Wars in 1977 as Han Solo's loyal Wookiee co-pilot, played on screen by Peter Mayhew. Sound designer Ben Burtt created his voice by layering recordings of bears, lions, tigers and other animals, giving the character a growl that felt real without using words. The roar became one of the most recognisable sounds in film, quoted and imitated by fans for decades. Online, clips of the growl spread as a reaction sound for tall, hairy or unexpectedly loud moments, keeping the Wookiee's voice familiar to viewers who may never have seen the films in full.
