Chewbacca had greater incentive than most Wookiees to assist in the defense of Kachirho: an objective of the Separatist invasion was to seize the information on secret hyperspace routes rumored to be held in the Claatuvac Guild's vaults.
Following the implementation of Order 66 , Chewbacca helped Yoda elude the clone troopers and escape from the planet. Chewbacca was one of perhaps a dozen Wookiees, the Guild's most trusted scouts and navigators, who was entrusted with a HoloGrid that stored the Guild's information on hyperspace routes. Guildmaster Gumbaeki then destroyed the information in the Claatuvac vault and assisted in the defense of the city while Chewbacca and his compatriots stole away.
Chewbacca hid his HoloGrid in a location known only to him, and it would not come to light again until many years afterwards. Yoda bids farewell to Chewbacca right and Tarfful left after surviving Order With the battle concluded, Chewbacca was attacked by Hronk , a relative of Tojjevvuk seeking vengeance. The arrival of stormtroopers broke the fight up, leaving the conflict to be resolved later. Two months 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 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 Confederacy of Independent Systems only a month before, resumed fighting to defend their homes from the Imperial onslaught. The tide turned to the Empire with the unexpected arrival of Anakin Skywalker , now known as Darth Vader, who wasted no time in slaughtering whatever stood 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, Chewbacca 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 Sephi named Mala Mala and carried her to the sick bay of a ship, where she received life-saving medical attention from a medical droid. After seeing that she was all right, the two parted ways, only to see each other years later. During his travels, Chewbacca gained many friends and even owned a ship of his own.
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, Chewbacca 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 this 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, Pter 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 Chewbacca'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 Chewbacca 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. Due to Chewbacca's heroic efforts to save the children, several of whom were of Tvrrdko's clan, Tvrrdko called off the vendetta, something unheard of in Wookiee history.
Though Solo initially resented Chewbacca for his dismissal from the Imperial Military, he eventually became the Corellian's close companion as a smuggler.
Chewbacca even entrusted his Claatuvac HoloGrid to Solo, and the two of them used the information on routes contained within to make smuggling runs in record time.
He and Solo ran into Jahan Cross while fleeing a gang of angry gamblers. As the brawl broke out, Chewbacca grabbed a Quarren by the ankles, swung him around and tossed him over a wall.
The Espos arrived and rounded everyone up but Chewbacca and Solo were spared from arrest by the intervention of Cross. After the situation was cleared up, Solo and Chewbacca returned to the cantina to retrieve their lost credits , despite the Wookiee's apprehension. Later that evening, Chewbacca and Solo were confronted on their ship by Sergeant Myrsk who was looking for Cross.
When the sergeant punched Solo for making an insolent comment, Chewbacca took offense and had to be restrained from attacking the Espo. Solo suggested Myrsk apologize to the Wookiee or else there might be violence. After the Espos left, Cross emerged from a smuggling compartment and discussed his plans with Solo.
Once the Imperial agent left, Chewbacca wondered if Cross would treat the pair fairly. Solo assured him that Cross was honorable and would pay his debts. He remarked that Elli was attractive, and Solo responded that she was too high maintenance and preferred a smuggler girl. When Chewbacca brought up Salla Zend , Solo stated that he wasn't the marrying kind. Once they reached Reltooine, they were attacked by Vulture -class starfighters.
Chewbacca help Solo pilot the freighter as they fought off their attackers. He expressed disbelief that Solo wanted to use the credits they earned from Cross to play sabacc.
Han Solo and Chewbacca set a new record for the Kessel Run. 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.
After Solo won the Millennium Falcon , the first trip was back to Kashyyyk, where Chewbacca ultimately married Mallatobuck and fathered a son named Lumpawarrump. Another 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 Chewbacca became reunited with Hronk, who had become an Imperial slave on Formos.
In spite of the fact that Tojjevvuk's father had called off the feud years ago, Hronk still held a grudge against Chewbacca. Chewbacca's attitude towards honor duels had changed, however, and he ended up saving the Wookiee from captivity, earning forgiveness from the last holdout of a once hostile clan.
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 realized 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 , Chewbacca and Han managed to track down the recipients of the cargo. Shortly afterwards, Chewbacca and Han again found themselves on the brink of being broke. Chewbacca 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, Chewbacca and Han struck a deal with master gunman Gallandro. Though they found the treasure, Solo realized that there would be boobytraps and warned Gallandro, who believed that Solo and Chewbacca wanted to cut him out of his share.
Solo dueled the deluded Gallandro to prevent him from continuing, but was wounded and could only watch helplessly as Gallandro was killed by hidden security blasters. Little did they know Chewbacca and Han would encounter his daughter, Anja Gallandro , nearly two decades later.
Following their near-death experience on Rudrig, Chewbacca returned home, where he led several Wookiees to a Wookiee safe house where they would 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 earned Bossk's enmity of the both of them.
At some point during this time, Chewbacca was also involved with a run-in with several scout troopers on the planet. He was eventually shot off of his Raddaugh Gnasp fluttercraft by a trooper on a speeder bike, slamming onto a StarSpeeder that had been behind them the vessel having earlier escaped from an Imperial raid that occurred at Spaceport THX He attempted to climb up but ultimately fell off.
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. 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. Chewbacca at the time of the Battle of Yavin. 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.
During the flight over to Alderaan, Chewbacca also played some Dejarik with the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO , although he ended up losing, to his frustration. After learning from Han that Wookiees like Chewbacca were known to rip people's arms out of their sockets, 3PO suggested to R2 to "let the Wookiee win.
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, Chewbacca 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 Chewbacca 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. However, Chewbacca, believing that Luke was actually trying to sell him out, snarled at him when Luke attempted to cuff him, forcing Luke to let Han cuff him, with the latter reassuring Chewbacca that he suspects he knows what Luke was actually planning.
While Obi-Wan set off to disable the tractor beams, Chewbacca, 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. Chewbacca, Han, Luke and Leia managed to escape the space station. Chewbacca 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 involved with their "revolution" and left. However, Chewbacca 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, Chewbacca, Han, and Luke received medals for their heroism during the battle. 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. 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 Chewbacca's wishes. Solo and Chewbacca were later tasked with finding a power gem as their means to destroy the Executor by Princess Leia. Their first stop was to Junkfort Station. Chewbacca discovered from a local barfly an agent of Mystra a potential lead of where a power gem might be found; in Raskar's possession on Antipose.
However, because of his attempting to learn directions from the barfly, he was distracted from saving Solo from would-be assassins that were hired by Jabba the Hutt, eventually realizing and saving Solo at the last second by picking the two up and throwing them out of the catana.
He then supplied the lead to an irate Solo. Eventually, they discovered that the lead was genuine, and Solo arranged for Chewbacca to fight in Solo's place, to Chewbacca's initial anger.
However, Solo planned to have Chewbacca fight the primary candidate for the gem outside of the arena in an all-out brawl as a means to distract Mystra and Raskar while he got into the power gem area, analyze the extent of its power, and then steal or otherwise negotiate getting it.
Eventually, he got tired out, although unfortunately for the reigning champion, that only made Chewbacca more ferocious. Eventually, they managed to gain the power gem in exchange for keeping quiet to the Antipose contestants about the weakened state of the power gem, although Solo later admitted to Chewbacca that he plans to return later to loot Raskar of his ill-gotten gains as Raskar's punishment for his scam operation.
Several months after the Battle of Yavin, the two assisted Renegade Squadron , an elite Rebel fighting force created by Han prior to Yavin, during the Battle of the Graveyard. In the Millennium Falcon , Chewbacca and Han scanned for a holocron with a vital list of possible bases for the Alliance.
The holocron, created by Bail Organa , was encased in phrik and survived the destruction of Alderaan. Renegade Squadron was forced to retrieve the holocron. However, they were discovered by IG , the droid bounty hunter, and a skirmish with Imperials ensued. Chewbacca searched for parts for the Millennium Falcon in the huge junkyards near the hangar while protected by Renegade Squadron, and, after finding them, assisted the squadron in protecting Han while the smuggler made the repairs to his ship.
After completing them all the while fighting off stormtroopers and even IG , Han, Chewbacca, and Renegade Squadron lifted off, barely escaping the clutches of a Star Destroyer squadron. Only several days later, he and Han helped prepare the evacuation craft that allowed Ackbar and Renegade Squadron to escape Boz Pity.
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 headed back to Mos Eisley. 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. 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, Chewbacca'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—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 , 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 Chewbacca had just arrived. Chewbacca roared as Han managed to kill the trooper.
That night, the group, along with the other Wookiees on Kashyyyk, celebrated an uninterrupted Life Day. Chewbacca and Han run into trouble on Aguarl 3. Now out on their own, Chewbacca 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.
Arriving to at Ramiz's village Onacra, Chewbacca 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 Chewbacca 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, Chewbacca and the team were able to defeat the beast. Having liberated a spacer from the clutches of the Empire, Chewbacca and Han Solo briefly stayed at Tansarii Point Station while the Millennium Falcon was undergoing repairs. Approximately six months after the destruction of the Death Star, the Rebel base received a distress call from Aguarl 3.
After an untimely detour on the dangerous planet, Chewbacca 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. Unfortunately, Chewbacca and Han became separated from each other when Jib Kopatha 's thugs followed Sheel, capturing Solo. Chewbacca managed to stop Odala from reaching her ship and the two were forced together in order to free him.
Together, Chewbacca and Sheel managed to free Solo. On another occasion, Chewbacca and Han came into the possession of some valuable glowing Tandgor gems that Solo claimed would 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 came 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 were 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 planet's residents. Han and Chewbacca left the planet out of pocket, but were rewarded with enough fuel to last them the rest of their journey.
While fixing Wedge Antilles's snowspeeder, Chewbacca got himself attached to the speeder. Wedge flew off into battle with Chewbacca hanging on the bottom. Using his brute strength, the bold Wookiee managed to capture a TIE fighter then crash landed into an Imperial outpost, ending the battle. As Wedge recalled years later, he felt somewhat embarrassed but acknowledged his heroic efforts. Meanwhile, Solo set out to recover the young Rebel, Luke Skywalker, who had gone missing during a scouting mission.
Hours passed and the two didn't return. Fearing that Solo was gone, Chewbacca let out a mournful growl, hoping that he'd return. Han eventually made it back safely with Luke in tow. Thus, 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 went missing, Chewbacca set off to find the protocol droid.
Chewbacca eventually found him blasted apart 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, irritating the Wookiee's keen hearing. When all but his legs were reattached with his head on backwards, Chewbacca, Leia and Han were brought to the carbonite freezing chamber with C-3PO hanging from a pack on Chewbacca's back.
They were eventually rescued and an all out brawl occurred with some Trandoshans and the Wookiee leader Tarrful. The scaly troublemakers also made an alliance with Count Dooku, and almost caused the slavery of hundreds of Wookiees — if not for Yoda. The Jedi Master is now considered a member the Wookiee extended honor family. Good relations he has indeed! Speaking of those original screenplay drafts, in the early versions of Return of the Jedi , Kashyyyk was intended to have a pretty big spotlight.
The second Death Star was to be built in orbit around the Wookiee planet, and the construction was to be completed by Wookiee laborers. How did I do? Are there more things to know about the beloved Wookiee? Tell us all about it in the comments below!
