Chewbacca

Chewbacca (/tʃuːˈbɑːkə/), nicknamed "Chewie", is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise. He is a Wookiee, a tall, hirsute biped and intelligent species from the planet Kashyyyk. During his long life Chewbacca has been many things: engineer, warrior, slave, smuggler and rebel hero. Chewie fought with the Republic on Kashyyyk during the Clone Wars, then befriended Han Solo while in Imperial captivity on Mimban. Chewbacca is the loyal friend and first mate of Han Solo, and serves as co-pilot on Solo's spaceship, the Millennium Falcon; together they helped the Alliance restore freedom to the galaxy. Within the films of the main saga, Chewbacca is portrayed by Peter Mayhew from episodes III to VII (Mayhew shares the role with his body double, Joonas Suotamo, in Episode VII). Suotamo took over the role alone in Star Wars: The Last Jedi and reprised the role in Solo: A Star Wars Story and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. The character has also appeared on television, books, comics, and video games. =Championships=
