	Chewbacca Defense - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term Chewbacca Defense was first used in the South Park episode "Chef Aid", which premiered on October 7, 1998 as the fourteenth episode of the second season.
		Cochran's use of this defense is so successful that the jury finds Chef guilty of " harassing a major record label" and sets his punishment as either a two million dollar fine to be paid within twenty-four hours or, failing that, four years in prison.
		Slashdot is one such example, where the Chewbacca Defense has been occasionally mentioned in discussion of legal affairs where the poster feels the legal arguments make no sense (or alternatively where the poster feels the argument of another is similar to the Chewbacca Defense, e.g.

	Defense, by Benjamin Zycher: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of Economics and Liberty
		In the area of defense, political processes are more likely to achieve the optimal amount of spending if each person pays taxes in proportion to the value he or she derives from the defense services provided.
		For example, U.S. defense spending in the mid-1980s was roughly 60 percent of the NATO total, while the United States provided about 46 percent of the main battle tanks and about 40 percent of the division-equivalent firepower.
		Furthermore, citizens of one nation may value the collective defensive effort less or more than citizens of another nation, and also may have different perceptions of how serious the threat is. That was the case in NATO for many years, as the United States and West Germany perceived a substantially greater threat than did Greece.

		First, if defensive rights are grounded in a set of normative relations among different elements of the right, then it is important to understand exactly what kind of relation war is, and what the different elements of national defense--subject, object, content, and end--actually are.
		One important element of any justification of national defense must be the identification of a defensive end of sufficient value to make the harms inflicted in the course of a defensive war proportionate.
		Fundamentally, the end of national defense cannot be construed in purely personal terms, for national defense may be considered justified even when the lives of no citizens are threatened by an act of aggression and even when more citizens would be threatened by fighting the war than by not fighting it.
