Chewbacca's Entire Backstory Explained

Ever since his first appearance in the original film, Star Wars fans have loved Chewbacca. The seven-foot-tall walking carpet brings out the best in the roguish Han Solo, and he has had countless heroic moments over the years, including in Disney’s new trilogy of films. There have been all kinds of stories told about the Wookiee in movies, books and TV specials, even if some of them are no longer canonical, and Solo: A Star Wars Story gave us the definitive story of how he met his flying partner and became indebted to him. Let’s take a look at the explanation of the entire backstory of Chewbacca.

Which Star Wars trilogy do you prefer: prequel, original, or sequel?

Chewie was also in revenge of the sith, with yoda.

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. The Star Wars Holiday Special, recorded it back in the day on VHS. Chewbacca also appeared on the Boba Fett segment.

He is very crucial in the entire saga. Empire is the best example of his cunning.

Looper, great video! Enjoy your week!💯🙏👐

You forgot to mention the story when the Millennium Falcon crashed on Earth and Chewy was seen walking around the woods in America and mistaken for Bigfoot...or started the whole Bigfoot myth.

[HighLiner]

Chewy is just a boss!! ☠😁


I dig the Prequels and the Orig Trig. The Sequels not so 😂😏

[AdiAfendi]

There was a Wookie that can speak Basic (English), tho. Just that one.

Chewbacca is really getting up there in years. It's sad to see even him sporting a bad "comb over".😞

[Sailorsega]

A New Hope? A New Hope?! A NEW HOPE?! The first Star Wars movie is called 'Star Wars'!

[KiLLaBushWooKiE]

Us wookiees go through hard tough times but we always make good cuddle friends. 👹❤

[xboxgamerJ]

What I wanna know is how did chewie go from being second in command on the battle of kashyyk, to being imprisoned by the empire

[bcsem]

I always liked the fact that Han (and a few others like C3PO) can totally understand when Chewbacca speaks and he can understand them as well. It seems weird to make sense of what seeming noise Chewy is saying, yet it’s not difficult for Han at all.

[Mr_Joseph]

Chewbacca was also the owner of the cantina at mos Isley spaceport

[Sedoslav]

This is the biggest movie of the year, either who saw📽🎥

[DarthVader-disz]

What about the whole Chewie segment from TCW?? Ashoka and him escaping from the Trodoshians!!??

[davidthomas]

Who thought it was a good idea to make Chewie a cannibalistic murderer? Probably the same genius storyteller who made Lando a robot~humper. Giving beloved characters these dark or perverted back stories ruins the characters.

Disney really have no clue about Star Wars. They thought they could make money by making any crap and sticking a Star Wars label on it

[AngelicusImmortus]

Easy ~ he was young when Yoda rode on his shoulders, adult when he met up with Solo. Early drafts and original story have him as about 200yrs old at the time of A new hope. See, all done.

[nicholasbarlow]

I wonder if Chewbacca is force-sensitive.

[wickedwendy]

My guinea pig called Chewbacca as he's got the original Chewbacca's colours
