Chewbacca

Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the forest planet of Kashyyk. Born 200 years before the Battle of Yavin. Chewbacca was a warrior during the clone wars for the battle of Kashyyk. After order 66 Chewbacca was enslaved by the galactic empire and later freed by Han Solo. He was under command of Han Solo during the battle of Endor.

Chewbacca was responsible for bringing Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker to meet Han Solo after Bo Shek introduced them to him. The Wookiee and his friend Han had no way of knowing what would happen next, what seemed like little more then a simple transport mission for two passengers and two droids would turn the pair of smugglers worlds upside down. It became clear quickly that Luke and Obi-Wan were no ordinary passengers when a garrison of Sandtroopers ambushed them in the docking bay that the Millenium Falcon was located in, and more obvious when the ship was attacked by an Imperial Star Destroyer that was in orbit of Tatooine.  As the unlikely group came out of hyperspace at their destination, they were shocked to find Alderaan was now nothing but a field of asteroids and debris, and a ominous moon-like structure drew closer, it was the Death Star. Han and Chewbacca did not have enough time to escape and the Millenium Falcon was captured with a tractor beam. But when the Empire boarded the Falcon, they found no passengers, as the group of heroes were hiding in smuggling compartments Han had built into the ship. The group managed to dispose of an Imperial scanning crew then called to the two Stormtroopers guarding the Falcon outside, Luke and Han disguised themselves as Stormtroopers and Chewbacca posed as their prisoner. Together the trio infiltrated the detention block and rescued Princess Leia. After escaping the Death Star, thanks to Obi-Wan Kenobi making the ultimate sacrifice, Han and Chewbacca delivered Luke, Leia, R2-D2, and C-3PO safely on Yavin, unaware that the Empire had been tracking them. Han had his reward and despite some protest from Chewbacca left the planet, but during the closing moments of the Battle of Yavin, Han and Chewbacca aboard the Millenium Falcon disabled Darth Vader's TIE Fighter, allowing Luke to fire the proton torpedo that destroyed the Death Star. Luke, Han, and Chewbacca were shortly after honored as Rebel heroes.
 
Death
A few years later Han and Chewbacca was sent to do a mission with Hans kids. When they got there the planet was about to be destroyed by a moon they didn't have enough time to save one of their kids, Chewbacca picked him up and threw him aboard they left without chewbacca. He died by the moon crashing in the planet.
