Friends and Allies[]
Han Solo[]
Chewbacca with Han Solo.
In 10 BBY, Chewbacca met Han, the latter who saved him from imprisonment. Chewbacca was so grateful for Han's intervention that he proclaimed a life debt to him; the two have been best friends since then, as Han gave him the nickname "Chewie". Despite Chewbacca's loyalty to Han, he does not always agree with him and often serves as Han's conscience in their smuggling endeavors. When Han died at the hands of his son, Ben Solo, Chewbacca became so devastated by the death of his best friend; he immediately moved to avenge Han's killer, only to wound him instead.
Luke Skywalker[]
Chewbacca first met Luke in Mos Eisley's cantina, when Obi-Wan Kenobi hires him and Han Solo to smuggle him, Luke, C-3PO, and R2-D2 to Alderaan, although they do not have much interaction with each other. However, throughout the Galactic Civil War the two become close friends. In Return of the Jedi, after Lando Calrissian destroy the second Death Star; defeating the Empire once and for all, Chewbacca celebrates his comrades' victory and reuniting with Luke, happy that his friend survived the Battle of Endor.
Ahsoka Tano[]
Chewbacca met Ahsoka during the Clone Wars when they were both captured by Trandoshan hunters. Though they met only once, they became good friends during their time together, and successfully escaped their pursuers with help from the Wookie general Tarfful and the other Jedi padawans the Trandoshans were hunting, eventually returning home.
Finn[]
- “I need help with this giant hairy thing!”
- ―Finn while trying to heal Chewbacca's injuries
Chewbacca first met Finn after he and Rey barely escaped from the First Order's military forces on the planet Jakku, During their escape from the Guavian Death Gang and Kanjiklub, Chewbacca was injured, when Finn was attending to his injuries, the letter repeatedly tried to strangle him six times (it is likely that wasn't on purpose) which Finn became annoyed by, however, Chewbacca tried to strangle him, the seventh seven time, after he complained about how the Wookiee almost killed him, but Finn ultimately forgave me him. Over time, the two become good friends.
