Watch: Local Chewbacca-wannabes growl their way through a Wookiee calling contest

What does it sound like when a Wookiee mom loses its child in the mall? (You know, those malls that are all over Kashyyyk. One of them has a Cinnabon.)

A "Wookiee Calling Contest" hosted by The Libertine Bar and Lakewood Brewing Co. asked that very question. Even if you're not a Star Wars fan, you probably have at least a passing idea of who Chewbacca is, right? He's a Wookiee, and those signature growls and gurgles of his native tongue (Shyriiwook, if you want us to drop nerd knowledge on you) could be heard at full volume as contestants worked their vocal chords in an attempt to win two tickets to see Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

Spoiler alert: Some of the contest entrants are not so good at impersonating Chewbacca. A few of the moments are NSFW, so turn your volume down if your boss is nearby:
