A Chewbacca impersonator was arrested after being accused of head-butting a Hollywood tour guide who warned the furry brown Wookiee about harassing two Japanese tourists.
"Nobody tells this Wookiee what to do," 'Chewie' from the Star Wars movies said before slamming his head into the guide's forehead, the Los Angeles Times newspaper reported.
The Los Angeles Police Department said the 1.96-metre tall 44-year-old man was charged on Friday (local time) with misdemeanour battery and later released on $US20,000 bail.
'Superman' and other movie and cartoon impersonators were reported to be witnesses to the aggression in front of Grauman's Chinese Theatre amid concern that such behaviour could endanger their livelihoods.
Street performers at the world-famous cinema collect tips from tourists by posing for photos, but some are known to turn hostile if they do not get money.
Two years ago, Mr Incredible, Elmo the Muppet and the dark-hooded character from the movie Scream were arrested for "aggressive begging", the LA Times reported.
