==History==
===Battle of Endor and rathtar bait===
Wookiee Cookies were favored by the human Rebel Alliance general Lando Calrissian and his Sullustan co-pilot, Nien Nunb, when they fought against the Galactic Empire during the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY.Star Wars: Timelines The two were eating the cookies aboard the Millennium Falcon—the freighter belonging to the smuggler-turned-rebel Han Solo—while they were on their way to attack the Death Star's main reactor. Upon realizing that the battle station's deflector shield was still up, Calrissian broke off the attack, and their cookies were left floating in space.
Circa 33–34 ABY, Solo and his partner, the Wookiee warrior Chewbacca, traveled to the planet Twon Ketee in order to capture full-grown rathtars for King Prana. After successfully capturing one, Chewbacca teased the ravenous beast with a jar of Wookiee Cookies, and the creature was punished with an electric shock as it attempted to take the jar using its tentacle.
===Battle of Starkiller Base===
Not long after, in 34 ABY, Han Solo and Chewbacca were reunited with General Leia Organa, leader of the Resistance and Solo's estranged wife, and together they went to the Resistance base on D'Qar. As the Millennium Falcon was preparing to take off for the Resistance's assault on the First Order's Starkiller Base, Solo asked Organa and the ex-stormtrooper Finn, along with the droids C-3PO and BB-8, to find some Wookiee Cookies for Chewbacca.
They managed to find some within the base's supply stores and loaded them onto the starship. During the battle, Chewbacca left behind a trail of Wookiee Cookies for Finn and the Force-sensitive scavenger Rey that led them to the Millennium Falcon following their duel with the dark warrior Kylo Ren.
===Festival of the Ancestors and Leia Organa's funeral===
About a year later, Wookiee Cookies was one of the snacks available for sale at the Festival of the Ancestors, a celebration known for its delectable sweets and held by the native Aki-Aki in the Forbidden Valley on the desert planet Pasaana. During the festivities, an Aki-Aki vendor of sweets accidentally gave an Aki-Cake to a human customer who had actually ordered a Wookiee Cookie. Another human individual known as "Cookie Crook" was also selling a Wookiee Cookie at the festival.
Not long after, shortly before the Battle of Exegol, members of the Resistance gathered at their base on Ajan Kloss for the funeral of their leader, Leia Organa. During the funeral, Chewbacca tried to steal one of the medals left on the late general's corpse. Although his efforts were unsuccessful, Lando Calrissian offered Chewbacca a Wookiee Cookie to appease the Wookiee.

For a customer who ordered a Wookiee Cookie but has been given a cake instead, the game requires the player to buy a Wookiee Cookie from another non-playable character called "Cookie Crook" for 7,500 studs, and give it back to the customer to complete the mission.
