Star Wars 5e I came across this website a couple months ago. A 5th edition D&D take on the Star Wars universe.I'm increasingly convinced that racial Stat mods arent actually needed and should be left floating.
What we do know about Wookies is that they are a large (tall), arboreal humanoid
So converting them to 5e we make Wookies medium-sized, with an Aboreal trait (Climb Speed/Athletics) and Powerful build (treated as large for lift/pull etc).
Then let a PC who wants to play a Wookie can put his stat mods where he wants maybe Dex+2 and Int+1 (Technology).
Given Chewbacca's tendency to tear limbs off people who offended him, he might choose the Str +2 and a feat: Rending Grapple* (is Chewbacca still the only canon Wookie to do that, or has it be generalised across the species?)
