By 0 ABY, Chewbacca and Han Solo had joined the Rebel Alliance after rescuing Princess Leia Organa and helping transport the Death Star plans to the rebel base on Yavin 4. Over the next four years, Chewbacca remained by Han Solo's side and accompanied him on a series of adventures that brought them to Hoth, the Anoat system, and Cloud City. After Solo was frozen in carbonite and taken by the bounty hunter Boba Fett to Jabba Desilijic Tiure, Chewbacca accompanied Lando Calrissian on a mission to rescue Han Solo, honoring his life debt to Han.

===Return to Kashyyyk===
Out of respect of Chewbacca's life debt to him, Han agreed to help the Wookiee liberate his homeworld of Kashyyyk in the months after the Battle of Endor, which saw the death of the Emperor, the disintegration of the Empire, and the transformation of the Rebel Alliance into the New Republic. While trying to recruit smugglers and Wookiee exiles, Chewbacca was recaptured by Imperial forces in 5 ABY and imprisoned at Ashmead's Lock prison on Kashyyyk. With the help of Norra Wexley and her team, Solo managed to free Chewbacca and numerous rebel prisoners from Ashmead's Lock.Aftermath: Life Debt
Working together with the former Imperial loyalty officer Sinjir Rath Velus, the bounty hunter Jas Emari, the New Republic commando Jom Barell along with several Wookiee exiles and former slaves, Han and Chewbacca attacked Grand Moff Lozen Tolruck's island fortress and disabled the inhibitor chips that kept the Wookiees enslaved. The Wookiees subsequently rebelled in a planet-wide uprising that was aided by the New Republic. While Han left to rejoin Princess Leia, Chewbacca stayed behind on Kashyyyk to liberate his family.
While taking part in a joint Wookiee-New Republic mopping-up operation, Chewbacca rescued his son Waroo from Commandant Dessard. Chewbacca experienced an emotional reunion with his son. Chewbacca also reunited with his wife, Malla, following Kashyyyk's liberation.

Despite his peaceful retirement, Chewbacca decided to renew his bond with Han Solo when the latter resumed his smuggling activities. As a Wookiee, Chewie's strong familial bonds and extended lifespan enabled him to spend decades away from his people. In 34 ABY, Chewbacca and Solo encountered the scavenger Rey, the former First Order stormtrooper Finn, and the droid BB-8. As a result, the two became drawn into the conflict between General Organa's Resistance and the First Order, an Imperial remnant devoted to restoring Imperial rule over the galaxy. Chewbacca experienced a major personal loss when his longtime friend Han Solo was killed by his estranged son Kylo Ren.
Following the Battle of Starkiller Base, Chewbacca accompanied Rey to the Unknown Regions world of Ahch-To, where Luke Skywalker had retreated to. Chewie and Rey also helped evacuate General Organa and the surviving remnants of the Resistance during the Battle of Crait.
Chewbacca's family was remembered long after the Galactic Civil War. After a member of the Whills, who was writing the Journal of the Whills, became irritated by the constant interruptions of a fellow Whill, the other Whill resolved to write an episode about how the Wookiee's family celebrated Life Day.
