A KENNEL IN A GALAXY FAR, FAR AWAY — Monster alien canines in the film "Solo: A Star Wars Story" were actually played by real dogs wearing bodysuits. <br /><br />A behind-the-scenes look at the film on this week's edition of the Star Wars Show on StarWars.com, gave fans a look at the planet of Corellia. Specifically, the show looked at the many practical effects employed, including the thick lycra bodysuits worn by dogs to portray the Corellian hounds.<br /><br />According to WOOKIE-pedia — no joke, real thing — these are "a fleet-footed, loud-barking, vicious species" that were "used for attack and hunting, but did not make good pets".<br /><br />StarWars.com writes that this canine named Saxon was specially trained to wear the lycra body suit. Saxon also played Nymeria, a Direwolf in season 7's Game of Thrones, where looking epic was all that was required.
