"Hnn-rowr yrroonn nng rarr!"

- Tarfful's battle cry

Tarfful was a male Wookiee chief and general who helped defend his native planet Kashyyyk during the Clone Wars. He led a band of Wookiees to answer a distress signal made by Chewbacca, who was imprisoned on the Trandoshan hunting grounds of Wasskah. He later participated in the Battle of Kashyyyk alongside Chewbacca and Jedi Master Yoda.

Biography
Tarfull was a male Wookiee native to Kashyyyk, and held the rank of general among his people during the Clone Wars.

During the war, Chewbacca was captured by Trandoshans and taken to Wasskah to be hunted for sport. There, the Wookiee built a device which sent a distress signal to Kashyyyk. Tarfful hired bounty hunters Sugi and Seripas to transport him and a group of his most trusted warriors to Wasskah, where they made quick work of the Trandoshans and rescued Chewbacca alongside Jedi younglings Ahsoka Tano, Jinx, and O-Mer.

Tarfful later took part in the Battle of Kashyyyk alongside Chewbacca and Jedi Generals Yoda and Luminara Unduli. Aided by the Grand Army of the Republic, he led a local militia against the invading Separatist droid forces. Following the implementation of Order 66, Tarfful and Chewbacca helped Yoda elude the clone troopers and escape from the planet.

Personality and traits
Tarfful was a massive Wookiee warrior who was covered with dark brown fur, and wore armor around his shoulders and chest. He demonstrated great loyalty and trust amongst his warriors and allies, traits that were held in high honor in Wookiee culture. He worked closely alongside Chewbacca during the Clone Wars, and was considered a dear friend by Jedi Master Yoda.

Behind the scenes
Tarfful was played by Michael Kingma in Revenge of the Sith.

According to the Revenge of the Sith DVD text commentary, during Yoda's "goodbye" scene to Chewbacca and Tarfful in the film, Tarfful's roar is actually Itchy's roar from The Star Wars Holiday Special.

In the 2014 mobile game Star Wars: Galactic Defense, Tarfful can be seen yelling "hnn-rowr yrroonn nng rarr," a quote which first appeared in the Legends comic Empire's End and meant "long live the New Republic," when translated from Shyriiwook.
