At an early age Chewbacca left Kashyyk to travel around the galaxy. He vistied many wonderful worlds and learned various skills. Durning his travels, the Galactic Empire invaded Kashyyyk and turned it into a slave-labor planet. The Empire declared the Wookiee race to be a slave species and as such forbidden to travel the space lanes. Slavers then captured Chewbacca and forced him into working in heavy slave labour.
A young Han Solo, who was an Imperial Officer at the time, took pity of the Wookiee and freed him from his slavery. This destroyed his promising military career. Chewbacca then decided to place a Wookiee life debt on Han Solo. It took a while, but Han Solo finally accepted the Wookiee as his partner and lifelong protector and nick named him Chewie. Chewbacca has been at Han Solo's side through many adventures including helping
the Rebellion against the Empire many times. He was especially useful during the battle of Endor where he helped organized the
Ewoks fight against the Empire's ground forces. With his help the Rebels were able to destroy the shield generator and thus gave the Rebels a chance to destroy the second Death Star.
