Chewbacca's Bowcaster

Chewbacca's bowcaster was a traditionally hand-crafted bowcasterweapon belonging to the Wookiee Chewbacca. Chewbacca built the bowcaster sometime prior to using it during the Battle of Kashyyyk in the Clone War, in which the Wookiees of Kashyyyk and the Galactic Republic made a joint effort against the Separatist Alliance. After Chewbacca pledged a life debt to Han Solo and joined the smuggler, Chewbacca continued to use his bowcaster throughout the Galactic Civil War between the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire, having crafted several bowcasters until then. The bowcaster required the strength of a Wookiee to fire the weapon comfortably, as it fired destructive metal quarrels sheathed in plasma energy that would result in explosive impacts. 30 years after the Battle of Endor, Chewbacca and Solo were engaged in a conflict on board their heavy freighter Eravana against the Guavian Death Gangand Kanjiklub. There, for the first time, Solo used Chewbacca's bowcaster after the Wookiee was injured in the skirmish.
