Fan Casting Chewbacca in Episode VII

Chewbacca is a loyal, skilled, and noble wookiee general from Kashyyyk. During the Clone Wars, he was a wookiee general alongside his partner Tarfull, and fought alongside many notable heroes, even the Jedi Master Yoda. Once the Galactic Civil War began, he was seperated from his wife Malla and son Lumpawaroo, (though he was able to get them to safety), and later imprisoned alongside many wookiees by the Empire. While in captivity, he came into contact with a young Corellian pilot named Han Solo, who helped him escape. The two became instant friends and began many crazy adventures together. Eventually, they came into contact with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker, who needed to get a message to the Rebel Alliance. Han and Chewie joined the Rebellion, and helped win the Galactic Civil War. After the war, Han helped Chewie return home to Kashyyyk to be reunited with his family.
