Chewbaacca

Chewbaacca was a clone of the legendary Wookiee warrior Chewbacca. He was cloned by Grand Admiral Thrawn. Luuke Skywalker first noticed that after the Vong came in and dropped that moon on Chewbacca. Thrawn had a Chewbaacca clone up and running practically before the dust settled. He used to like pairing him up with Duurga for arm-wrestling. But after Chewbaacca pulled one of Duurga’s arms out of its socket, he stopped those bouts. He hasn’t let Chewbaacca anywhere near Duuurga since.

Behind the scenes
Chewbaacca was mentioned in An Apology, a short story by Timothy Zahn that was released on April 1, 2012 as an April Fool's Day joke. Chewbaacca was set to appear in the second novel, Star Wars: The Clone Wars 2: Woookiee, which follows Han Solo to a distant moon where the clone of his best friend Chewbacca, Chewbaacca, has amassed a huge army of Chewbacca clones. Han’s soul is broken by the presence of the evil clone army of his best friend. He must destroy them in honor of Chewbacca. But can Han Solo kill his best friend over and over and over and over and over and over and over again? Is the real Chewbacca alive amongst them and can Han find him? It’s like looking for Chewie in a Wookiee stack.
