NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE:

The force arrests Chewbacca: A Hollywood wookiee impersonator is accused of head-butting a tour guide. A witness: Superman. (Andrew Blankstein and Bob Pool, February 3, 2007, LA Times)

The buzz on Hollywood Boulevard on Friday was over the Chewbacca who police say crossed over to the dark side in front of hundreds of tourists at Grauman's Chinese Theatre.

LAPD officers arrested "Star Wars" street performer Frederick Evan Young, 44, of Los Angeles in his furry brown wookiee costume Thursday on a charge of misdemeanor battery for allegedly head-butting a tour guide who complained about Young's treatment of two visitors from Japan.

street performer ..., 44

So that's how to properly describe someone who is unemployable and untalented and whose career has peaked. I guess it beats having to put "Harvard faculty" on the resume.
