30 year old SW humor

Tammy's father took her to see Star Wars one evening. During the movie, Tammy alternated between excitement and puzzlement. While leaving the theater, her father asked her if she'd enjoyed the show.

 

"Most of it, Daddy," she replied, "except for one thing. I couldn't understand a word that big furry guy said."

 

"Well, Tammy, that's because he spoke another language, and also because that's just the way the wookie mumbles."

 

-- Anjala E.A. Ehelebe, 1979

well, it took me some with google, but now I get it. :)

 

For all non native speakers: It's a play on words with "That's the way the cookie crumbles", meaning

 

"something that you say which means that bad things sometimes happen and there is nothing you can do to prevent it, so it is not worth becoming upset about it" (Cambridge Idioms Dictionary)

Man, I totally missed the pun. To me the punch line was that the wookie mumbled, e.g. even if you can speak wookie he was hard to understand :-p
