In an episode of the animated television series South Park, real-life attorney Johnnie Cochran successfully wins two trials by confusing the jury with ramblings about Chewbacca that distract them from the actual issues of the case. Fans later dubbed this strategy the "Chewbacca Defense". Also on South Park was a running gag in the show's Halloween episodes in which Wendy consistently won the school's competitions for best Halloween costume with her Chewbacca mask.
