Weebacca

"There's something not right about that Weebacca."

- Han Solo

Weebacca was a male Wookiee spacer and childhood friend of fellow Wookiee Chewbacca who tended to get into trouble and had a habit of gambling and smuggling. When his homeworld of Kashyyyk was invaded by the Galactic Empire, the Wookiee quickly dropped his current dealings and rushed to what seemed like fight for the planet's defense. However, he fought as a double agent during the battle in 4 ABY until he was killed by his former friend Chewbacca when his treachery was realized.

Biography
Weebacca was a longtime childhood friend of Chewbacca. The two were never cross, no matter what situation Weebacca had gotten himself into, and he was often in sticky circumstances. Weebacca was also always in need of some credits and had a love for the game of sabacc, and it wasn't long before he got into smuggling and gambling. He was willing to take any job available, including a bodyguard-for-hire. He disappeared without contact with his family for a long time, but he eventually resurfaced, running spice through the Kashyyyk system under the nose of the Imperial patrols. He hated the Empire, and when his homeworld of Kashyyyk was invaded and enslaved, he dropped his lucrative smuggling career and rushed home to help. While liberating Kashyyyk from the Trandoshan slavers and the Imperial Remnant in 4 ABY, Han Solo and Chewbacca moved to Kepitenochan, liberating Wookiee slaves on their way. Before they reached the city, they found Weebacca destroying a Trandoshan building. Despite this apparent common enemy, Han Solo was very uneasy seeing a lone Wookiee unharmed due to the carnage that had taken place against the Wookiees. Weebacca helped Han and Chewbacca reoccupy Kepitenochan and rebuild the Government Tree with which they would be able to contact the New Republic. Unfortunately for the heroes, the Imperials had installed three jammers which prevented them from communicating. Weebacca claimed that the jammers were to be found in the city of Okikuti. However, when Han, Chewbacca and a company of Wookiees investigated the city, they found no jammers, instead finding an Imperial trap. The Imperials had waited outside the city and besieged it once they entered. The Rebels managed to escape the trap by cutting trees to form a back route and reach the river to the city of Chenachochan.

Weebacca was later seen when the Wookiees destroyed Darcc's palace. Han and Chewbacca caught him trying to escape along with Moff Darcc and Trandoshan slaver Pekt in a Imperial shuttle, and Chewbacca killed Weebacca in a duel. Darcc and Pekt managed to escape.

Personalities and traits
Weebacca was hardly trustworthy, and he was known for his habit of gambling. He also showed his true colors with his betrayal of his own people. His physical traits included brown fur and eyes. He also carried the same name of the ancient Wookiee hero Bacca, the first of the great chieftains of Kashyyyk. It is possible that this is just a reference to the actual word, which means "friendly."

Equipment
Weebacca sported a pair of ryyk blades as his main weapons during the Second Battle of Kashyyyk.

Behind the scenes
Weebacca made his only appearance in the 2001 video game Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds and its expansion pack. He is a hero for the Wookiee faction, which means he is a special unit which can't be manufactured or produced.
