Zarro

Zarro was a female individual who lived during the time of the Galactic Civil War. Around the time of the Battle of Yavin, her homeworld came under threat from the Galactic Empire. She stood against the Imperial presence on her world and enlisted the Wookiee warrior Chewbacca into her cause.

Behind the scenes
Zarro is a character created for the Marvel comic book series Star Wars: Chewbacca, written by Gerry Duggan and with art by Phil Noto. In designing the look of the character, Noto described her as "kind of a skate-punk tomboy." He felt it fun to create a teenaged Star Wars character from scratch, as most younger characters appeared as Padawans or the kids in the 1980s Star Wars: Ewoks television films. Noto complimented Duggan's writing for the character, saying that pairing her with Chewbacca made it "easy to know the character."
