Clothes, yes. Armour, no.
But being a wookie is fun. What other race can go running through a city nude and not be arrested? 
I expect they have some huge, huge bonuses to compensate?

Do you have any idea what sort of bonus you'd have to give them to compensate for NO ARMOR....EVER ?

natural AC that increases with level, extremely high base con, Health bonuses, anything you would give a monk in other games.

Well, let's think of this logically.
Chewbacca kicked major ass, but didn't wear armor apart from that bandolier that I think was just full of candy anyways. What advantages did he have?
1) Nobody ever seems to shoot directly at him
Perhaps his patented Wookie Roar has the ability to cloud men's minds like THE SHADOW!
2) Seldom uses his bowcaster
Perhaps wookies so intimidating that foes shy away from conflict with them!
3) Only one in the galaxy that uses a bowcaster
Perhaps this ancient wookie device has awesome destructive powere that could cut a swath through enemies! This would certainly work well in conjunction with #2!
4) Super wookie strength!
Chewbacca carries C-3PO around on his back in pieces. In episode 1, C-3PO appeared to be made out of cast iron or some shit, but he looked heavy as fuck. Yet Chewie carries him and still has the strength to wield his bowcaster, blast people, and keep up with or even outpace Han Solo! Clearly wookies are super strong, perhaps they have a naturally dense molecular structure as well that is as resistant to armor blasts as armor!
5) Body odor?
I mean, come on, you're hairy all over. That's a lot of shampoo to go through if you're going to wash every day, and with all those oils and sweat...you've gotta smell pretty bad after a while. Perhaps wookies smell SO bad that the odor somehow distorts reality around them and drives off blaster...blasts. See item #1

Led had this to say about Cuba:
I wonder where they pulled Anakin creating C3PO idea from... since it has been said several times elsewhere prior to ep1 that C3PO was manufactured, and set to programming binary load lifters
I wonder if there isn't a different C3PO, and the first one is used for parts to fix the second? That way, you can wind up with the manufactured one with the personality chips (or whatever) of the one Anakin built.
That's about the only way I can see the histories working out.

How can the "old" ships look all sparkly and shiny like the personal ship the Princess uses, when in the more recent ones, ships look like bits are dropping off them, i.e the millenium falcon.

how did cars go from sleak and shiny in the 50's and 40's to boxy and fugly in the 70's and 80's?

Karnaj had this to say about Duck Tales:
In Episode 3 (or so I hear) you'll see a distinctly 70's styling. Anakin will have the BeeGee's haircut, and the ships used will bear a stronger resemblence to Corvettes and ISDs in Ep. 4 than the Trade Federation ships or Amidala's transport.
Yeah there's been a few production pics released from Ep 3 and they're definitely more Ep 4 like than Ep 1 and 2. Even the vehicles in Episode 2 aren't as pretty as Episode 3 (the Clone army vehicles, for instance). Prior to the Empire, there was still an era of personalized, artistic, beautiful ships, hot rods, etc. Then the Empire moves in and everything's the same, mass produced, either substandard (fighters) or over-developed (star destroyers). I get the impression that it's a commentary on the car industry (Lucas is a fan of 50's style hot rods, and has commented in the past that modern mass-produced cars don't really hold a candle to them, yadda yadda).
As for continuity, keep in mind that most of "canon" like C3P0 and R2D2's origins weren't ever specifically filled in by Lucas. I personally look forward to seeing 3P0's memory being wiped.
