Chewbacca/Legends

"I have taught him all that I can. He will become a great warrior."

- Qui-Gon Jinn

Chewbacca  (or "Chewie", as he was known by his friends) was a legendary Wookiee from Kashyyyk and co-pilot of Han Solo's ship, the Millennium Falcon. He was the son of Attichitcuk, the husband of Mallatobuck, and the father of Lumpawaroo. Chewbacca carried with him the name of an ancient Wookiee hero, the great Bacca, first of the great chieftains of Kashyyyk, and the creator of a sword that denoted leadership among the Wookiees. This name placed Chewbacca in a noble lineage, which was further supported by his role in the Battle of Kashyyyk and during the Galactic Civil War. Later on Chewbacca proved worthy of the name when he died heroically in the Yuuzhan Vong War.

Chewbacca was a wise, sophisticated being of great strength and loyalty. He was also a skilled mechanic. Chewbacca, like many Wookiees, was able to understand Basic, but he could not speak it due to his species's vocal structure. He instead spoke Shyriiwook, the main Wookiee language, composed largely of growls and grunts, to his non-Wookiee companions who typically replied in Basic.

Childhood
"Oh, he was a sight to behold! Such strength, such skill, such fury–such grace!"

- Malla to Threepio and Artoo.



Chewbacca was born on Kashyyyk circa 200 BBY, the son of Attichitcuk. During his early years Chewbacca lived on Kashyyyk, but unlike many other Wookiees who rarely left the planet's lush forests, Chewbacca was consumed by an overpowering sense of adventure and exploration. Chewie's first travels were to the remote and dangerous lower levels of Kashyyyk's immense forests, the Shadowlands. It was not long before his travels took him far from the confines of his green homeworld. His heart, however, remained on Kashyyyk, and Chewie would always try to make it home for the holidays.

When Chewie was in his younger days, before he had reached 100 years of age, he was well known for his skill at navigating the tall Wroshyr trees and his skill with a hydrospanner. Chewbacca spent some time repairing vehicles with his friends, including the Wookiee Dryanta. Chewbacca first met his future wife Mallatobuck, as a younger male but was unaware of the young Wookiee's feelings toward him. Malla was shy and hid all hints of her true feelings, even going so far as to not show appreciation when Chewbacca once saved her from Trandoshan slavers. However, Chewbacca's cousin Jowdrrl was friends with Malla and helped to slowly create a relationship between the two. Unfortunately, their blossoming relationship hit a snag when the Wookiee Tojjevvuk began to fight for Malla's affection. Chewbacca was eventually forced into an honor duel with Tojjevvuk for Malla's hand, but Tojjevvuk brought dishonor on the duel by using his claws, forbidden for a Wookiee. However, Chewie's expertise in navigating the Wroshyr trees proved to be Tojjevvuk's downfall, and a timed tackle by Chewbacca sent Tojjevvuk into a plummet into the Shadowlands where he was killed by the dangerous creatures of Kashyyyk.

Clone Wars
"Good-bye, Tarfful. Good-bye, Chewbacca. Miss you I will."

- Yoda



As he reached adulthood, Chewbacca married Mallatobuck and fathered a son named Lumpawarrump. He lived with his family in Rwookrrorro. Chewie and his father were responsible for the creation of many villages on Kashyyyk in the decades before the Battle of Naboo and both of them participated in the colonization of Alaris Prime, where they faced the Trade Federation for control of the moon. Notably, during this time Chewbacca had his first recorded encounter with Jedi&mdash;as Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi had been assigned by the Galactic Republic to end the conflict on Alaris Prime. Under Jinn's tutelage, Chewbacca was able to successfully lead the colony to military and economic success.

However, for all of Chewie's success, rivalries between different Wookiee families continued to plague Kashyyyk. Tvrrdko, the father of Tojjevvuk continued to seek revenge for the death of his son, but waited for the ideal moment. During the Clone Wars, Chewbacca had come into another honor duel with the family of Hronk. The source of the feud between the two families is unknown, but the arrival of Clone Troopers broke the fight up, leaving the fight to be resolved at a later time. The clones and their Jedi Generals recruited many of the Wookiees, and Chewbacca became a leading member of the Wookiee resistance to the Confederacy of Independent Systems. He was a major player in the Battle of Kashyyyk, overseeing the confrontation between the Grand Army of the Republic's 41st Elite Corps and the invading droid forces alongside Tarfful and Jedi General Yoda. It was Chewbacca, along with Tarfful, who accompanied Jedi General Quinlan Vos in the charge against the enemy.

Following the implementation of Order 66, Chewbacca helped Yoda elude the Clone Troopers and escape from the planet.

Post Clone Wars
Shortly after the Battle of Kashyyyk, Chewbacca was called upon by a former trader and Wookiee representative, Cudgel, to aid a small band of renegade Jedi led by Olee Starstone in their search for any other survivors after Order 66. The rescue operation proved unsuccessful, however, as the Empire tracked the fleeing Jedi to Kashyyyk and began their assault to capture them. The Wookiees, still haunted by the aftermath from their battle with the Separatists only a month before, resumed fighting to defend their homes from the Imperial onslaught. The tide had been turned over to the Empire with the unexpected arrival of Darth Vader, who wasted no time in slaughtering whatever stood in his path between himself and the missing Jedi.

Vader ordered one of the orbiting Star Destroyers to bombard Kashyyyk with repetitive turbolaser fire, laying waste to the surrounding cities while he searched for the remaining fugitives. In an attempt to help his comrades escape, Roan Shryne, one of the remaining Jedi who had earlier encountered Vader during the execution of Order 66, faced off with Vader alone while the others attempted to flee. Chewbacca assisted in the escape of Olee, a small group of smugglers, and several of those wounded in battle. After the fall and enslavement of Kashyyyk to the Galactic Empire, Chewie resolved to become a crew member aboard the Drunk Dancer along with Olee, and aided his new-found friends in sabotaging the Empire's efforts at any given opportunity, claiming he would be "more helpful to Kashyyyk as a fugitive, not a captive."

Now wanted, Chewbacca wandered the galaxy, managing to evade the slave traders. One day, Chewbacca came across a wounded elf named Mala Mala and carried her off to the sick bay of a ship in which she received life-saving medical attention from a medical droid. After seeing that she was alright, the two parted ways, only to see each other years later. During his travels Chewie gained many friends and even owned a ship of his own.

Meeting Han Solo
"You will pay for this Lieutenant. Both of you will"

- Nyklas to Han Solo and Chewbacca



However, even the mighty Chewbacca was not immune to failures, and he soon became another captive of Trandoshan slavers. Tvrrdko, still bitter over his son's death, betrayed Chewbacca and sold him to the Trandoshan slaver Ssoh. Ssoh had devised a method of transporting Wookiees safely without fear of them escaping. The Trandoshan made sure to mix different Wookiee clans in the holding cells so that their vendettas would keep each other from escaping. When Chewbacca was thrown in Ssoh's holding cell, several Wookiee families including the Puurrgerr, Grrobahrr, and Chevappa clans immediately began to question his allegiances. Chewbacca had become disgusted with the Wookiee rivalries and how they had kept the Wookiees trapped in slavery. In an impassioned speech, Chewbacca convinced the other Wookiees that it was better to die a free Wookiee than be concerned about honor as a slave. With help from the now allied Wookiees, Chewie fashioned a fusioncutter, cut open their prison, and took over the ship. Ssoh became the only Trandoshan to live after a hand-to-hand battle with Chewbacca after the enraged Wookiee ripped his arms and his legs out of their sockets.

Following the recent turn of events, Chewbacca often attempted freeing Wookiees slaves who had been captured by either the Empire or Trandoshan slavers. On one such endeavor, he became involved in a botched slave transfer between a Trandoshan crew and an Imperial commander Nyklas. Chewbacca orchestrated the escape of close to all of the slaves which consisted mostly of Wookiee children, but in the process had his ship come under fire by Imperial TIE Fighters led by Lieutenant Han Solo. Nyklas was infuriated at the loss of the Wookiee slaves and ordered Solo to kill the Wookiee (who had been rendered unconscious by the firefight). Solo refused, inciting Nyklas's fury, but the commander eventually calmed enough to realize Chewie's value as a slave. The Wookiee children happened to be members of Tvrrdko's clan, and the Wookiee leader ended up canceling the feud between their two families. Nyklas worked Chewie unmercifully, taking great pleasure in whipping the demoralized Wookiee. However, Nyklas did not count on any more interventions by Solo, and the young lieutenant saved Chewbacca from being whipped to death. The two escaped from Imperial influence with a small bounty on their heads, and Solo was drummed out of Imperial service. "Chewie", as Solo affectionately called him, became the Corellian's close companion as a smuggler, standing beside him until his death, partly out of friendship, and partly as a result of his life debt to Solo.

Due to Chewie's heroic efforts to save his clan, the Wookiees honored Chewbacca with a tree carved in his image on his homeworld of Kashyyyk.

Smuggler
Bonded to Solo, Chewbacca accompanied him on several misadventures. On one such, the Wookiee was captured and taken to Stars' End, a hidden Corporate Sector prison, where he was quickly rescued. The years went on as Chewbacca accompanied Solo on treasure hunts and spice runs. One run was notable because, in the Millennium Falcon, the two made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs. The next attempt was less successful, resulting in the dumping of a spice shipment due to pursuing Imperials. On this same mission Chewie became reunited with Hronk, who had become an Imperial slave on Formos. Chewie's attitude towards honor duels had changed, and he ended up saving the Wookiee from captivity ending the feud between their families. Unfortunately, this was the only thing that went right, as the undelivered shipment landed Han with a heavy bounty on his head placed by the notorious Jabba the Hutt, the crime lord who owned the shipment.



After a string of unsuccessful smuggling ventures in the Corporate Sector Authority, Chewbacca and Han left the sector as they soon realize they weren't cut out for legitimate work. Nearly broke, the two accepted a job carrying valuable cargo for ten thousand credits. Unfortunately, the cargo turned out to be slaves, in which the Corporate Sector was suspected of being involved. Receiving help from Bollux and Blue Max, Chewie and Han managed to track down the recipients of the cargo. Shortly afterwards, Chewie and Han again found themselves on the brink of being broke. Chewie along with Bollux and Blue Max accompanied Han to the university world of Rudrig to locate the lost treasure of Xim the Despot. On Rudig, Chewie and Han struck a deal with master gunman Gallandro. Though they found the treasure Gallandro was killed by hidden security blasters after wounding Solo in a duel. Little did they know Chewie and Han would encounter his daughter, Anja Gallandro, nearly two decades later.

Following their near death experience on Rudrig, Chewie returned home where he lead several Wookiees to a Wookiee safe house where they were going to be safe from traders. However, the bounty hunter Bossk showed up and attempted to enslave Chewbacca and the others. Just before Bossk could capture the entire group, Han Solo returned and destroyed Bossk's ship by landing on it in the Millennium Falcon, leaving the bounty hunter stranded. The act would earn Bossk's enmity of the both of them.

That very same year, Chewbacca and Han were contacted by Jabba, who wanted the two to locate the priceless Yavin Vassilika. The two then entered in the race where they found themselves once again face to face with bounty hunters, Boba Fett and Bossk, and the smuggler, Lando Calrissian. Chewie and Solo started their search in the Mon Calamarian city of Mon Ubris. Pursued by Bossk and his team, their trail led them to the mysterious Bank of Knowledge. However, their search on Mon Calamari lead them to a dead end. The gem was later retrieved by the Rebel Alliance and Han's old flame, Bria Tharen.

Entering the Rebellion


"What made you come back, Han?" "Oh, the Wookiee here got stubborn about it."

- Luke Skywalker and Han Solo, shortly before the victory ceremony following the Battle of Yavin.

It was Chewbacca that Obi-Wan Kenobi spoke to in Chalmun's Cantina, where Chewie and Han happened to be, when in search of transportation to Alderaan. It is not known whether the Wookiee recognized Kenobi from their time on Alaris Prime or if Chewbacca's friendship with Yoda during the Clone Wars influenced the decision to help the Jedi. Regardless, Chewbacca introduced the aged Jedi Master and his young companion, Luke Skywalker, to Han Solo and soon the pair bought passage on the Falcon.

"Can somebody get this big walking carpet out of my way?"

- Princess Leia

Once they reached Alderaan, they discovered that the planet had been blown to bits by the Empire. While trying to stop a TIE fighter from revealing their presence in the system, Chewie and the others were hauled into the Death Star by its tractor beams. The group managed to evade the Imperial officers by hiding in a secret compartment in the Falcon. After the discovery of Princess Leia's presence on the station, Luke convinced Solo and Chewie to help him rescue the princess. Luke formulated a plan, which involved Han and Luke impersonating as stormtroopers while Chewbacca pretended to be their prisoner. While Obi-Wan set off to disable the tractor beams, Chewie, Han, and Luke managed to rescue Leia, defeating several Imperial officers in the process. Princess Leia initially disliked Chewbacca as much as she disdained Han and called him a "walking carpet," but the friendship between the two grew over time. Though their mission was successful, Obi-Wan wasn't so lucky, as he was killed by Darth Vader in a lightsaber duel. Chewie, Han, Luke and Leia managed to escape the space station.

Chewie accompanied the others to the Rebel base of Yavin 4 where they were preparing for their strike at the Death Star. Eager to get their pay, Solo and the Wookiee chose not to get involve with their "revolution" and left. However, Chewie managed to convince Han to return and help the Rebels. Han finally gave in, helping Luke Skywalker destroy the Death Star. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin 4, Chewie, Han, and Luke received medals for their heroism during the battle.

Hero of the Rebel Alliance


Having retrieved the reward money for Han's bounty, Chewbacca and Han set off to pay Jabba. However, the money was stolen by the pirate, Crimson Jack. With the help of Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia, Chewie and Han managed to defeat the pirate. Following the debacle, Solo gave the recovered money back to the Alliance. Broke and fearing Jabba's retribution, Solo and Chewbacca discovered an ancient cache of treasure hidden in one of Yavin IV's temples. He and Han stole the treasure, against Chewie's wishes.

A year after the Battle of Yavin, Chewbacca and Han returned to Tatooine where they caught with Luke in the Mos Eisley cantina. After fleeing from Imperial stormtroopers, Chewbacca, Han, Luke and the droids were stranded in the Dune Sea of Tatooine. In order to escape, they arranged a deal with some Jawas to travel with them in their sandcrawler. Shortly afterwards they learned of the House of Tagge, which was working in concert with the Empire to create a long range freezing mechanism. The Rebels eluded their Imperial pursuers and head back to Mos Eisley.

Shortly before Life Day, Chewbacca returned to duty in the Rebel Alliance. While on Yavin 4, Solo and Chewbacca discovered an unauthorized transmission emanating from the jungle around the Massassi base. They eventually found an Imperial spy amongst the Rebels and successfully stopped him. A short while after, Chewbacca and Han left for the celebration of Life Day on Kashyyyk. It served as a short break between the periodical fighting. But peace didn't last long for the pair. Not long after they departed Tatooine for Kashyyyk, they found themselves once again being chased by the Empire. Fleeing to lightspeed, they went on their way. However, the Empire had apparently traced their route to Kashyyyk, which they rightfully suspected to be a harbor for Rebels. Upon learning of this, Darth Vader ordered a blockade and search of the planet. A group of Imperial officers entered Chewbacca's home, terrorizing his family and wrecking the house. They looked for any sign of Rebel activity. However, after a while, Chewie's son, who then went by the name Lumpawarrump, devised a plan. He used his mini-transmitter, which he had received as a Life Day present from Saun Dann, to send out a voice message through the Imperial airwaves &mdash; which changed the sound of Lumpy's voice. He gave the command of "return to base," which the officers in the home picked up on their receivers. They complied, with the exception of the stormtrooper known as B-4711, who was ordered by a superior to stay behind in order to temporarily watch the house for Rebel activity. However, the trooper soon learned of Lumpy's trick, and pursued him through the house, out onto the balcony, where Han and Chewie had just arrived. Chewie roared as Han managed to kill the trooper. That night, the group, along with the other Wookiees on Kashyyyk, celebrated an uninterrupted Life Day.



Now out on their own, Chewie and Han went on several missions in the early years of the war. Chewbacca and Han were later hired by Ramiz, a moisture farmer on Aduba-3, to protect his village from a band of local thugs known as the Cloud-Riders led by Serji-X Arrogantus. To aid them in their task, Chewie and Han hired six misfit spacers which consisted of Don-Wan Kihotay, an old man who believed himself to be a Jedi Knight, Jaxxon a rabbit-like creature, Hedji, Amaiza Foxtrain, young boy named Jimm Doshun and his droid FE-9Q. Arriving to at Ramiz's village Onacra, Chewie and the gang encountered flying High-hounds. They managed to drive away the beasts, saving the life of a young girl named Merri to the great relief of her father Oncho, the village spokesman. But their relief was short-lived once Serji-X Arrogantus and his gang attacked. Chewbacca and the Star-Hoppers did their best to defend the village but it was to no avail as FE-9Q was killed and Merri's grandfather the Old One, dismissed the hired spacers' help. Instead of relying on Chewie and his team, the shaman summoned a large, mythical reptilian monster called the Behemoth from the World Below to handle the invading Cloud-Riders. Many members of the Star-Hoppers died trying to destroy the creature. Due to their teamwork, Chewie and the team were able to defeat the beast.

Six months after the destruction of the Death Star, the Rebel base received a distress call from Aguarl III. Chewbacca, Han, Princess Leia, and Deena Shan were dispatched to the planet. After an untimely detour on the dangerous planet, Chewie and Han were confronted by several creatures native to the planet. In addition to that they were able to uncover secrets relating to the Clone Wars. Fortunately, Chewbacca and Solo were rescued by Deena and Leia.

Once the Rebels were spread out across the galaxy, Admiral Ackbar sent Chewbacca and Han to Void Station where they encountered bounty hunter, Sheel Odala. Unfortunately, Chewie and Han became separated from each other when Jib Kopatha's thugs followed Sheel, capturing Solo. Chewie managed to stop Odala from reaching her ship and the two were forced together in order to free him. Together, Chewie and Sheel managed to free Solo.

On another occasion, Chewie and Han came into the possession of some valuable glowing Tandgor gems that Solo claimed will pay off debts and mod the Millennium Falcon. They stopped on an unknown planet to get fuel. After landing on the planet, Solo and Chewbacca encountered several groaning skeletal figures—the undead. Chewbacca was able to fight them off and made a hasty retreat back to the Falcon only to find the fuel line has been severed by someone. Arming themselves, the two-man crew of the Falcon headed back and come face to face with a local and her baby who explained to the two that the crew of a 'Great Interplanetary Ark' perished after their ship crashed in the planet's fog. They are compelled to wander the planet as corpses, terrorizing the locals every night.



Using the Tandgor Gems to lay down lines, Han formed a makeshift runway that managed to dissolve the fog. A ghostly apparition of the ship that crashed long ago used it to land, easing the spirits of the perished crew. The living dead would no longer terrorize the planets residents. Han and Chewie left the planet out of pocket, but were rewarded with enough fuel to last them the rest of their journey.

Just before the Battle of Hoth, the Rebels fell under attack by the Empire. Attaching himself to Wedge Antilles' snowspeeder, Chewbacca rushed headstrong into battle. The bold Wookiee managed to destroy several TIE fighters using his brute strength. Chewie ended the battle when he managed to crash a TIE fighter into an Imperial outpost. As Wedge would recall years later, he felt somewhat embarrassed but acknowledged his heroic efforts.

Crisis on Bespin
"Chewie, this won't help me! Save your strength, there'll be another time! The princess – you have to take care of her! Do ya hear me, huh?"

- Han Solo

While with the Rebel Alliance on the Ice Planet of Hoth, Chewbacca was busy repairing the Falcon. Meanwhile, Solo set out to recover the young Rebel, Luke Skywalker, who had gone missing during a scouting mission. Hours past and the two didn't return. Fearing that Solo was gone, Chewie let out mournful growl, hoping that he'd return. Han eventually made it back safely with Luke in tow. Unfortunately, Chewbacca was unable to finish his work due to the Imperial invasion of Echo Base and so the Falcon was forced to take off with Han Solo, Princess Leia, and C-3PO while in disrepair and so while on the run from the Imperial Fleet, the Falcon set down in an asteroid cavern for repairs.

When the cavern was discovered to be a giant slug, the Falcon made its escape to Bespin. On Bespin, the group met with Lando Calrissian. When C-3PO was blasted apart and gone missing, Chewbacca sent himself off with the task of finding the missing protocol droid. Chewbacca eventually found him in a junk pile and after a scuffle with some Ugnaught workers, brought him back to Princess Leia and Han Solo.



However, Chewbacca did not have the time to repair C-3PO. They were all captured by Darth Vader. During their capture, Chewbacca was sealed in a room with high-pitch alarms going off, subduing him and calming him. C-3PO's parts were brought in and Chewbacca began rebuilding the droid. When all but his legs were reattached with head on backwards, Chewie, Leia and Han were brought to the carbonite freezing chamber with C-3PO hanging from a pack on Chewbacca's back. Han Solo was to be frozen as test for Luke Skywalker. Before he was frozen, Chewbacca threw several stormtroopers off the platform but was quickly cuffed. Han entrusted Chewbacca with taking care of Leia. With a loud howl, Han Solo was frozen alive, but in hibernation.

While being escorted to Darth Vader's shuttle by Imperial stormtroopers, Chewbacca, Leia and Lando were freed from their captors by Bespin Security Guards led by Lobot. Released from his bindings, Chewbacca grabbed hold of Lando's throat and began to strangle him. Leia was able to get the location of Han Solo's frozen body to the East Platform. Chewbacca let go of Lando and left him gasping for breath on the floor with C-3PO apologizing for the Wookiee's behavior as Chewie and Leia rushed off.

However, Leia and Chewbacca arrived at the platform just as Boba Fett made off with Han Solo. With that, a pursuit ensued in the Cloud City corridors with stormtroopers. Joined by R2-D2, Leia, Lando, and Chewbacca eventually made their way back to the Millennium Falcon. When escaping the city, Leia received a telepathic call for help from Luke and commanded Chewbacca to turn the ship around. After rescuing Luke, the Falcon left the planet behind. While attempting to escape the Executor over Bespin, the supposed repaired hyperdrive failed and Chewbacca was once again forced to fix it. However, R2-D2 quickly activated it and the Falcon escaped to the Rebellion rendezvous point. Chewbacca and Lando would then start their search for Boba Fett and Han Solo.

Teaming up with Calrissian
After the disastrous mission to Cloud City and the loss of his most trusted friend, Chewie temporarily teamed up with Lando Calrissian, occasionally accepting missions from the Rebel Alliance. Lando's search for Solo was cut short as Leia Organa summoned them to a Rebel base on the volcanic planet of Golrath. Once there, they were informed that Luke Skywalker had been infected with a lethal disease "Crimson Forever", which caused the victim to become crimson-colored, eventually killing them. After boarding an Imperial vessel and finding its crew crimson-colored and dead, Luke recovered a red-glowing stone, suspecting it to be the source of whatever killed the Imperials. Luke rushed back to the Rebel headquarters, but he was already infected. In a short time, Luke was lying comatose, his eyes turned scarlet red. Leia remembered a story Han Solo had told her about the Red Nebula that featured a pair of stones similar to the one that infected Luke. Chewbacca regaled the tale, and the group came to the conclusion that the "Crimson Forever" stone was indeed one of those Chewie and Han had encountered—when the two stones were separated, they were extremely lethal. Following up on the lead, Chewbacca, Lando and Leia piloted the Millennium Falcon to the Red Nebula, only to find a seemingly abandoned House of Tagge spaceship. Lando and Leia boarded the vessel while Chewbacca waited in the Falcon. After a near death encounter with Domina Tagge the group escaped, destroying the Rebel Base on Golrath.

City of Dreams
Shortly after the beginning their initial partnership, Chewbacca and Calrissian stumbled upon the "City of Dreams", a dimensional rift inhabited by Cody Sunn-Childe, a former Rebel Alliance operative and a hero of Lando's, who gained strange powers during his travels. Unbeknownst to them, the city had a strange effect on its inhabitants as they were hypnotically enthralled by the phantasmagoric surroundings. As the two explored the city Chewbacca became spellbound and seemed to forget the search for Han in favor of the city's distractions, and roughly punched Lando for speaking ill of the city. Later, the city was attacked by an Imperial fleet led by Captain Plikk, who had also fallen prey to the spell. The impact caused many, Chewbacca included, to snap out of their charmed state. Chewbacca and Lando piloted the Millennium Falcon in combat against the Imperials, but the battle was cut short when Sunn-Childe, who had at first allowed his demonic manifestations to attack the Star Destroyers, made no further attempt to stop the Imperial bombardment of the city, letting the fleet utterly destroy it and all its citizens, himself included. The Falcon then escaped through the rapidly closing dimensional gate, but the Imperials who, because of their excessive bombardment lacked the hyperdrive power to escape, were forever trapped in Sunn-Childe's dimension.

Destruction of the Tarkin
Informed by an operative that the Empire was constructing a new superweapon—the Tarkin— General Rieekan ordered Chewbacca and Lando to stop their search for a new planet on which the Alliance could establish a new headquarters, and return to the temporary base. Once there, they were briefed on their new mission—to destroy the Tarkin. A small commando team consisting of Chewbacca, Leia, Luke, C-3PO and R2-D2 infiltrated the superweapon dressed as workers, and proceeded to strike at its reactor with a proton grenade. Lando, whom both Leia and General Rieekan thought of as untrustworthy—to such a degree that he was "left out" of the mission—snuck aboard the Millennium Falcon that the commando team piloted to Hockaleg, the planet which the Tarkin orbited. Lando hoped to make himself useful by staying with the Falcon, ready to rush to the superweapon to save his friends.

Unbeknownst to the commando team, Vader was also present at the space station, having sensed that Skywalker had infiltrated it. Believing the Rebels' plan was to destroy the Tarkin's reactor, Vader personally saw to the protection of that area, delegating the rest of the security personnel to potential escape routes. However, just as he was on his way to catch Luke, a group of high-ranking Imperial officers attempted to kill the Sith by opening an airlock, sending Vader into space. The plan was foiled by Vader himself—using the dark side of the Force he was able to pull himself back into the Tarkin from the vacuum of space. This distraction helped Luke barely escape the Dark Lord. In the meantime, Leia had wired the superweapon's ion cannon to fire upon itself—something that would utterly destroy the station. The group was able to escape the Imperials, returning to the Rebel Base.

Other missions
Following the confrontation with Vader, Princess Leia went missing while on a mission to investigate Imperial activity in the Shiva system. Once again derailed from their search for Solo, Chewie, Lando and Luke embarked on their quest to locate the princess. The trio arrived just in time, helping Leia to fight Imperial forces led by General Sk'ar while Calrissian participated in the aerial assault. The battle resulted in a win for the Rebels and the death of Sk'ar by Chewbacca.

Just after the Battle of Hoth, Chewbacca, Lando, and Luke Skywalker arrived on Bazarre to negotiate the sale of four disabled Imperial TIE fighters from a weapons dealer named Orion Ferret. Ferret gave the Rebels the location of the TIE fighters, but double-crossed them when he attempted to sabotage their shuttlecraft. Lando, having never trusted Orion, left Chewbacca behind on Bazarre to keep a watch over Ferret. No sooner had the Rebels left for Patch-4, than Orion began conspiring their deaths. He believed that if he were to remotely activate the shuttle's ejection seats, then Luke and Lando would die in space and he would be able to keep the money, his fighters and the Millennium Falcon. However, he had to find a way to get Chewbacca out of the way. With the aid of his assistant P'Lor, he used a gelatinous spritzer solution to imprison the Wookiee. Unfortunately for Ferret, the solution was not strong enough to contain Chewbacca and he soon broke free. Chewbacca chased Orion Ferret all throughout the Bazarre marketplace. Ferret attempted to flee in his personal shuttlecraft, but a few well-aimed shots from Chewbacca's bowcaster rendered the ship unusable. Lando Calrissian returned to Bazarre in time to keep Chewie from ripping Orion's head off.

On one occasion Chewbacca accompanied Luke on his search to find information on Shira Brie, Luke's former flame. During a heated space battle with Imperial forces Luke's targeting computer malfunctioned causing the boy to rely on the force to pick his targets, shooting Brie down. In order to clear his name the two began their search on Shalyvane, where Shira had once told Luke that Em'liy marauders once slaughtered her people on this world. Luke and Chewie met the aging G'hinji inside of a cave near the capital city of Chinshassa. G'hinji told him that there had never been human settlements on Shalyvane and that everything Shira Brie told him was a lie. The Em'liy were the only native species to the planet, and were once a thriving community until the Emperor sent a squad of Imperial TIE bombers to Chinshassa and laid waste to the capital city. G'hinji escorted Luke to a sacred site known as the Circle of Kavaan. There, Luke discovered a holographic recording of Darth Vader, revealing the true history of Shira Brie.

Traveling to Krake's Planet to find further information on Shira Brie, the two infiltrated the Krake Data Vault – a facility built from the mass of a giant Mind Spider. Once they recorded the information, Chewie used the Falcon's deflector screens to destroy the military outpost.

Rescue of Han Solo
Chewbacca took Han's order to take care of Leia very seriously. When not helping Lando with the search for Han, he served as Leia's bodyguard. When she attempted to negotiate with the criminal super-organization Black Sun for their aid in determining who had placed a bounty on Luke Skywalker, he accompanied her to Coruscant. In order to get past Imperial security, he was disguised as the Wookiee bounty hunter Snoova, and Leia took on the identity of Boushh. From there the two became guests of Black Sun's leader, the Falleen Prince Xizor. Chewbacca, already suspicious of the crimelord, was outraged when Xizor attempted to seduce Leia. Fortunately, Chewbacca was able to remove Leia from the influence of Xizor's mind-affecting pheromones. Leia distracted Xizor long enough to allow Chewbacca to escape with the information that Xizor was in fact the one behind the bounty on Skywalker.



Chewbacca was able to meet up with Luke, and together they formed a rescue party, along with Lando and Dash Rendar. They were able to break into Xizor's palace through the sewers and freed Leia, escaping on the Millennium Falcon and destroying Xizor's palace in the process, crippling Black Sun.

After the death of Xizor, Chewie once again teamed up with Lando as he, Leia, Luke and the two droids needed help in tracking down the undercover Rebel agent Tay Vanis.

Having learned that Boba Fett had finally delivered Han to Jabba the Hutt, Luke hatched a plan that involved infiltrating various members of the party into Jabba's palace. Chewbacca was inserted when Leia, again posing as Boushh, took the Wookiee to Jabba as a prisoner. After thermal detonator-assisted price negotiations, Chewbacca was surrendered to Jabba and placed in a dungeon cell. When Leia failed to escape after freeing Han from the carbonite, Han was placed in the same cell. The two prisoners were soon taken out of their cells—for execution. Luke's killing of the Rancor had so enraged Jabba that he ordered that Luke, Han, and Chewbacca be fed to the Sarlacc in the Great Pit of Carkoon. However, Luke's planning allowed him to recover his lightsaber, and together with Lando, who was disguised as one of Jabba's thugs, they turned the execution into a battle. Chewbacca protected Han, who was still blind as an effect of the hibernation sickness he had acquired while in the carbonite. When Lando was knocked into the Great Pit, Chewbacca anchored Han as the smuggler leaned over the side of their skiff and rescued his old friend.

Endor
"Keep your distance, but don't look like you're keeping your distance. I don't know – fly casual."

- Han to Chewbacca during the mission to Endor.



After the battle was over and Jabba killed, all the heroes, with the exception of Luke, reported to the Rebel fleet over Sullust. There the Rebels formed a battle plan to destroy the Second Death Star over Endor. Only during the briefing did Chewbacca become aware that Han, now a general, had volunteered to lead the ground assault on the shield generator protecting the Death Star. Chewbacca swiftly volunteered to join his group of commandos.

On the approach to the shield bunker, the Wookiee's lack of caution got the team into trouble. Seizing a hunk of meat tied to a stick, he unwittingly sprung a trap that got Han, Luke, the droids, and himself captured by Ewoks and taken back to their village. There, the team reunited with Leia, who had been taken to the village after becoming separated from the others. As a result of the Ewoks' belief that C-3P0 was a god, they were able to negotiate not only their freedom but the Ewoks' aid in the upcoming battle with the Empire.

During the terrestrial portion of the Battle of Endor, Chewbacca swung the tide of the battle when he and two native Ewoks hijacked an AT-ST and turned it against the Empire, helping the Alliance secure their victory on the forest moon.

Founding of the New Republic
"Who was that big furball that ruined my coat?" "You don't get out much, do you? That's Chewbacca, the most famous Wookiee in the Galaxy"

- Spinda Caveel and Zan Pike

Shortly after the Battle of Endor, Chewie and Lando were taken prisoner by Imperial Moff. To get them out of this situation, Calrissian convinced the Moff to enter a bet involving Chewbacca and the Falcon. Shortly afterwards, Chewbacca found himself fighting in an Imperial arena with a huge battle droid made from spare droid parts. Using his brute strength, the Wookiee managed to defeat the droid, winning the bet and allowing them to escape.

Not long after the destruction of the Second Death Star, Chewbacca and Han Solo returned to Kashyyyk to liberate the Wookiee homeworld. Chewbacca was responsible for the reconstruction of Wookiee Government tree. Later, the noble Wookiee would deal with the treacherous Weebacca and free the slaves, including his father, imprisoned on the Avatar Orbital Platform. Chewbacca would also play a vital role in the Battle of Bakura, where he helped Solo and the others neutralize an imperial threat on the planet of Bakura. The incident would bring about the establishment of the Alliance of Free Planets.

Nagai-Tof War
Shortly after the Battle of Bakura, Chewbacca, Han and Lando Calrissian were sent on several missions to bring secure attendees for the First Conference of Free Peoples. After these recruitment missions, the group decided to take a break to visit Chewie's family on Kashyyyk. En route to his house, Chewbacca, Han and Lando encountered a mysterious alien named Knife and Chewie's brother-in-law, Vargi. As it turned out, Knife took Chewie's family as hostages and planned to sell him and the other Wookiees in a slave trade. Imprisoning Han and Lando in his home, Knife and the rogue Wookiees under his command took Chewbacca as prisoner and proceeded to the slave ship. Fortunately the Wookiee was saved by Han Solo.



While Lando and the loyal Wookiees fought off the Nagai forces and their counterparts, Chewie lashed out at Vargi. Realizing that Chewie's outburst was disrupting the loading of Wookiees onto the slave ships, Knife prepared to kill Chewie with a tehk'la blade, but the weapon was shot out of his hand by Lando. The Wookiees overthrew their rogue counterparts just as Chewie was able to overpower Vargi, throwing him to the ground. Knife's plans of creating a slave trade on Kashyyyk were thwarted, and the rogue Wookiees, along with the Nagai forces except Knife, were captured by the Alliance. Vargi, however, was disowned by Malla.

Chewbacca and the Alliance would later join forces with the Nagai in order to defeat their enemy and rivals, the Tofs and their leader Prince Sereno. During the Battle of Saijo, Chewbacca became part of the aerial assault, leading a fighter squadron along with Lando Calrissian, Wedge Antilles, and Nien Nunb. The battle would result in a win for the Alliance and the surrender of Sereno, ending the Nagai-Tof War.

Later missions
After Han's marriage to Leia Organa in 8 ABY, Chewbacca and his son Lumpawarrump encountered trouble on Coruscant. While on Coruscant, Chewie pursued his son through the undercity of Coruscant after he caught burglars stealing a datapad from Han and Leia. Lumpawarrump became captured and in the process of saving him, Malla was also captured. Shortly afterwards, Chewbacca and Lumpawarrump discovered that the burglars were planning to assassinate the New Republic's leaders. Determined to stop them, Chewie and his son infiltrated the enemies' base to find an advanced IT-3 interrogation droid attempting to brainwash Malla into believing that the Solos are a danger to her child. Enraged, Chewbacca attacked the burglars and freed Mallatobuck.

Later that year, Chewie accompanied Han, Leia, and C-3PO to Tatooine on a mission to locate an Alderaanian moss painting—lost after the planet's destruction—that had resurfaced on the black market. It concealed a code used to communicate with New Republic agents undercover within the Empire. As they pursued the painting they learned much about the man who became Darth Vader from Kitster Banai and Wald, childhood friends of Anakin Skywalker. Fortunately, the painting was discovered and the code was destroyed.

Chewbacca remained with Han well after his marriage to Leia. In fact, when Leia was being hunted by the mysterious Noghri, Chewbacca brought the former Princess to his home planet of Kashyyyk. The plan didn't hold up long but Leia was able to make peace with one of her assailants.

Life with the Solos
Chewbacca's original life debt to Han now included Leia, her brother, and her children. In 9 ABY Chewie participated in the offensives against Admiral Thrawn and the deranged Dark Jedi clone, Joruus C'baoth. Along with Han, Chewbacca formed a coalition of smugglers for a last-ditch attack against the Empire, while Leia held the Alliance together and prepared for the birth of her Jedi twins. Fortunately Thrawn and his forces were defeated, and C'baoth was killed by Mara Jade, a former ally of the Empire.

A year later, Chewie and the others discovered that the Emperor was alive and that his good friend, Luke, turned to the dark side. Fleeing to Nar Shaddaa, Chewbacca, Han, and Leia, now pregnant, discovered the existence of another lethal enemy; Boba Fett. They had fled to the underworld of the Smuggler's Moon after their initial haven, the hidden repair center ran by Shug Ninx, was taken over by storm troopers. Confronted by an array of bounty hunters, and the news that the Hutt clans had doubled the bounty on them, they had little choice but to leave the moon—where Boba Fett had patiently waited for the Millennium Falcon to take off. Their second attempt at penetrating the depths had greater luck; they had just found Vima-Da-Boda when Fett attacked. His assault was defeated when Chewbacca ignited his jet-pack, sending the bounty hunter flying into a wall. However, their immediate departure was sabotaged by Mako Spince, who from his perch in the Traffic Control spire forwarded their location to the waiting dark-siders aboard. Due to Han's risky maneuver, the group was able to destroy Spince and escape.

In 11 ABY, Solo and Chewbacca were taken prisoner on the planet Kessel and forced to work in the fathomless depths of a spice mine. On Kessel they befriend a boy named Kyp Durron. Chewie and Han broke away and flee desperately to a secret Imperial research laboratory surrounded by a cluster of black holes. In the laboratory they discover the dreadful Sun Crusher. After being captured by Admiral Daala's forces, Chewbacca along with Han, Kyp, and Qwi Xux stole the Sun Crusher and escaped the Maw Installation. Unfortunately, Kyp stole the Suncrusher, destroying thousands of lives on the planet of Carida. Chewbacca and Han eventually caught up with and took the latter to the Coruscant where he was redeemed by Luke Skywalker.

As Luke began restoring Jedi Order and reversing the damages done by Darth Vader and the Emperor, Chewbacca and the Solos set out on their own mission to recover force-sensitive children. They began their search on the frozen world of Belsavis, as they heard rumors of Jedi living on the planet.

He was seen as an uncle-like figure by the Solo children and took care of them along with C-3PO and R2-D2 when Han and Leia were away. Chewbacca was known to protect the Solo children rather fiercely as though they were his own children. In 14 ABY he accompanied Leia on her mission to rescue her children from Lord Hethrir and the Empire Reborn movement. Posing as pirates, Chewie and Leia managed to find and rescue Jaina and Jacen along with the other children Hethrir held on his Worldcraft.

Just before the Black Fleet crisis, Chewbacca went home to Kashyyyk to participate his son, Lumpawarrump's coming of age ceremony. When Chewbacca learned that Han had been captured by the Yevethans, he disobeyed Leia's instructions and flew straight into the heart of enemy territory. Chewbacca staged a rescue from the Super Star Destroyer Pride of Yevetha with the help of his son and his cousins Jowdrrl, Shoran, and Dryanta. This served as a coming of age for Lumpawarrump, who was renamed Lumpawaroo as he became an adult.

In 18 ABY, Chewbacca accompanied the Solo family to Han's homeworld of Corellia where he and C-3PO looked after the twins and Anakin. When the first hostilities of the First Corellian Insurrection broke out, Chewie got the children and others to the Falcon for a hasty retreat. They managed to reach Drall after the Falcon's hyperdrive was damaged by a patrol ship. They went to Drall's planetary repulsor and was captured by their cousin Thrackan Sal-Solo. The children escaped and made some repairs to the Falcon with Chewbacca's help. They flew off in the Falcon and were able to evade Thrackan's ship. Later the family would be reunited.

After the discovery of a partial copy of the Caamas Document in 19 ABY, and because of the crisis that would likely follow, the Solo children were sent to Kashyyyk with Chewbacca and a group of Noghri for protection. After the crisis passed, Chewie and the children attended the signing of the Pellaeon-Gavrisom Treaty aboard the Star Destroyer Chimaera.

Shortly afterwards, Chewbacca's nephew Lowbacca was discovered to be Force-sensitive, a trait rare among the Wookiee species. Chewbacca took Lowbacca to Luke's Jedi Praxeum on Yavin 4 where he built Lowbacca the droid, Em Teedee to translate for him. Lowbacca later befriended the Solo twins, Jaina and Jacen, who affectionately called him Lowie.

Mission to Sernpidal and aftermath
"You left him, you left him!"

- Han to his son Anakin after Chewie's death



In 25 ABY, Chewbacca, Han Solo and his youngest son Anakin were sent by Lando Calrissian to pick up a shipment on Sernpidal. When they arrived, the Solos and Chewbacca met an old man, the former mayor of Sernpidal City, who informed them that Dobido was headed on a collision course with Sernpidal and that it was orbiting its host quickly, dropping closer to Sernpidal at regular intervals. While Chewbacca and Han begin loading as many people as they can onto the Falcon, Anakin rushed off into Sernpidal City with the mayor in tow. Chewie and Solo managed to evacuate as many people as they could, managing to rescue millions of Sernpidalians, using both the Millennium Falcon and various other available freighters.

Anakin calculated Dobido would collide with Sernpidal in seven hours. This event, unbeknownst to them, was a result of the Yuuzhan Vong tactic, Yo'gand's Core. As the winds picked up, Anakin was knocked into the distance, causing Chewie to run after him. Chewie was able to bring Anakin to safety on the Falcon, but another blast of wind knocked him out of reach. Anakin piloted the Falcon, while his father stood on the entrance ramp hoping to lift Chewie up, but was forced to flee from Sernpidal when he realized it was too late to save Chewie. The Wookiee stood in the moon's trajectory, howling defiantly, and was crushed to death with those Sernpidalians who could not escape. His death drove Han to a resentment of his son Anakin. Han eventually recovered and forgave his son, but the death of his battle-brother and dearest companion would stick with him forever.

Honoring the legacy (25 ABY—)


"I love you Chewie." " I should have told him that myself! He saved my children! He was always there for them, he died for them! And I never told him."

- Han Solo to R2-D2 and C-3PO on Chewbacca

After his death, Chewbacca became a legend on Kashyyyk, and the droid C-3PO recited his tale on occasions. His death solidified not only Anakin's cause to fight in the war but the rest of his family as well. With the end of the Yuuzhan Vong War, Lumpawaroo and Lowbacca, Chewbacca's son and nephew, vowed to take up his life-debt to Han Solo. Chewbacca's family gave Han the first bowcaster that Chewie ever made as a gift to his long time friend and co-pilot. To commemorate his heroic efforts, the villagers of Kashyyyk built a tree memorial in his honor. The memorial was visited by many well after his death. Han again visited the tree memorial of Chewbacca and stabbed Anakin Solo's lightsaber deep into the tree, so that anyone who would need it in the future could use it. To honor Chewie's life, C-3PO and R2-D2 decided to create a holo featuring the interviews of the people that knew him the most. To many, Chewbacca embodied a sense of courage and loyalty that made him a hero to others.

The Trandoshan, Bossk, had other thoughts. He couldn't help but to rub Chewbacca's death in Han Solo's face. Both ended up in a fistfight. In the end, Bossk got a broken snout. Wookiees would take pride in the fact that Chewbacca died honoring his life debt...as well as the fact that it took an entire moon to kill him. No doubt, Chewbacca's legend would forever live in the hearts of his family and friends.

Personality and traits
"Always thinking with your stomach."

- Han Solo to Chewbacca

In his youth, Chewbacca was often found by many to be somewhat reckless, often venturing off into Shadowlands on Kashyyyk. At the time of the Clone Wars, his leadership of his fellow brethren helped stopped the CIS forces from taking their home. Chewbacca was also known for his great strength and loyalty. However, he was also known for his stubborness and dislike of losing.

One of the greatest heroes the galaxy had ever known, Chewbacca possessed a great amount of strength which was admired by many. In addition to that, Chewbacca possessed exceptional skills in piloting and repair.

Behind the scenes

 * Chewbacca was portrayed by Peter Mayhew in Episodes III to VI. He was based on Indiana, an Alaskan malamute dog owned by George Lucas in the 1970s, the name of whom would later provide Dr. Henry Jones Junior's adopted first name. For his appearances in the Original Trilogy, the Chewie suit, designed by Stuart Freeborn, was made out of knitted mohair (made from goat and rabbit hair) and yak hair. It would later be used and retouched during the making of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace for Senator Yarua. For his appearance in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Chewbacca was completely remade, with newer, more efficient and cost-effective materials. The new suit included a water pump system which allowed for Mayhew and the other Wookiees to star in the suits longer. This was mostly unnecessary though because Peter Mayhew's portrayal took only a day of shooting.


 * The memorable voice of Chewbacca was designed by Ben Burtt, sound designer for all six films. He mixed together various animal growls for different emotions, including those of walruses, bears, tigers, camels and badgers. The most prominent of these voices was a black bear named Tarik, who sadly died of congestive heart failure in 1994.
 * In 1997, Chewbacca appeared on the MTV Movie Awards and, as recompense for not receiving a medal during the closing sequence of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, was given a medal by Carrie Fisher, who played Leia Organa throughout the original trilogy.
 * In the 1997 novel The Hutt Gambit, Chewbacca says that he hasn't seen Mallatobuck for 50 years (since 55 BBY). It is unknown why he hadn't found time to visit her before the Battle of Kashyyyk.
 * In 1999, Chewbacca became the first major character in the Star Wars films to be killed off in the Expanded Universe, when R.A. Salvatore's Vector Prime, the first entry in the New Jedi Order series, depicted him being crushed by Dobido, one of two moons of Sernpidal. This caused resentment and drama among some fans despite the fact that the idea originated with Randy Stradley, well before Salvatore was even signed on to the series.
 * After Chewie's death, the second main movie character to be reported dead is Luke Skywalker; his death is not yet seen in any work, however he is seen as a Force ghost in ''Star Wars: Legacy.
 * Chewie's name is based on the Russian word for "dog," "собака" (Sobaka).
 * Chewbacca has made an impact on American culture also, often being referenced as a joke. A notable example of this is the South Park episode in which Johnnie Cochran uses the "Chewbacca defense."
 * In the Super Nintendo Super Star Wars games, Chewbacca is listed as being 8 feet tall, 200 years old and originating from the planet "Kazhyyyk", an early way the EU spelled the planet.
 * Michael P. Kube-McDowell wanted to rewrite Chewie's family (such as making it polygamous) for the Black Fleet Crisis Trilogy, but was forced by LFL to follow the background given from The Star Wars Holiday Special.
