Han Solo was a furry?!?!
Han Solo originally had a Wookiee wife.

Screenwriter Lenny Ripps (Star Wars Holiday Special):

What was interesting to me was that Lucas started talking about Star Wars as if it was a real world. He said things like "Well, you know Han Solo is married to a Wookiee. but we can't say that." Now that was 20 years ago [in 1998], so my memory may be wrong.

According to starwars.com's Ross Plesset, however, his memory is surprisingly good:
As outrageous as Ripps's recollection sounds, there is evidence supporting it. Pat Proft corroborates it and an early draft of the Star Wars script (January 28, 1975) has Han Solo living with a furry female creature who he kisses. Proft also remembers learning that Han was raised by Wookiees, which is verified on pages 46 & 131 of Laurent Bouzereau's Star Wars: The Annotated Screenplays.

Could be true, you never know with Lucas, but on the other hand, based on this professional credit:

Screenwriter Lenny Ripps (Star Wars Holiday Special)

I can only assume that Lenny Ripps was on lots and lots and lots of drugs in 1978.

Maybe I'm just totally misunderstanding this, as I'm not a Star Wars fan. But this really, really bothers me:

"Well, you know Han Solo is married to a Wookiee. but we can't say that."

Is he saying that they can't say it because of the romance blossoming between Leia and Han? Or is he saying it implying that such an interracial interspecies relationship couldn't possibly be mentioned in the Star Wars canon of 1978?
