      You’d think the original source of Wookie lore (the Star Wars Holiday Special) would mention stuff like this.

      I wonder where this information came from. The Fandom wiki suggests The Official Star Wars Fact File 12, but I can’t find any readable copies of that online.

      6 nips, a gestation of over a year, and more than twins is rare.

      That just raises further questions. How long do wookie babies nurse for? Are the number of nipples a relic of their evolution, where in the past they had litters of wooklets? Are certain nipples more sensitive? Which one or set is the one that typically gets pierced?

        Yeah, a whole 45 seconds worth of reading is required to reach the relevant info:

        While female Wookiees have six nipples, mutiple births of more than two children are quite rare.
