* Why was [=C3PO=] translating Wookiee language to Leia? Doesn't she understand it as the rest of the galaxy people?
** This is actually something that makes ''sense'' in this movie. How can anyone understand what Chewie is saying when his language composes of grunts, howls, and roars? A droid like [=C-3PO=] would be very valuable for people talking to the Wookies.

*** Alternatively, [[NoOSHACompliance railing technology is a recent development to the entire Star Wars universe]], and [[ItWillNeverCatchOn incidents such as this are exactly why its inventor was laughed out of the academy]].

Added DiffLines:

**** Presumably the railing was mandated by the Imperial occupiers, who are a non-arboreal species but want to be able to safely access Wookiee cities, and then sabotaged by Wookiee engineers because the only people who regularly use them are hostile Imperial forces. In other words, it functioned as intended.

*** Except Han ''already knows Boba Fett personally'' from his time in Jabba's employ, so this explanation doesn't hold water.

*** You have to learn languages to understand them. Leia apparently never bothered to learn Chewie's language. Judging by the films I'm not entirely sure she ever learned it.
*** From what I gathered from the EU, which is admittedly no longer canon, Leia tries to understand Wookie speech but has great difficulty with the language.

** It's the night shift so it's a different group of people, it's established that the night bartender is better liked than the day one so they're more willing to listen, and who would be dumb enough to cross Creator/BeaArthur when she has a blaster?

* One of the stormtroopers stumbled onto the railing and fell through it. This is the same railing that's supposed to prevent the Wookies (who are clearly larger and heavier) from falling out of their tree homes to the distant ground. Exactly what kind of engineering went into this? Was it all a plot by Mala to [[FridgeHorror kill her irritating child]]?
** Wookies are naturally tree dwelling, they likely need less safety rails than non-tree dwelling species would.
