Chewbacca

Chewbacca, known affectionately to his friends as Chewie, was a Wookiee warrior, smuggler, and resistance fighter who fought in the Clone Wars and the Galactic Civil War. He hailed from the planet Kashyyyk and became a Wookiee military leader. During the Clone Wars, he was captured by Trandoshan slavers and held captive on Wasskah, but he worked with a fellow captive, Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano, to escape; they were also assisted by Tano's friend Jarik Shan, who had picked up on Chewbacca's transmission for help. He later commanded Wookiee forces during the Battle of Kashyyyk alongside the Grand Army of the Galactic Republic, led by Jedi Master Yoda. During the battle, Yoda's clone troopers received Order 66 from Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine — who was secretly the Sith Lord Darth Sidious — and, with the help of Chewbacca and Chieftain Tarfful, Yoda escaped Kashyyyk and the destruction of the Jedi Order.
In the years that followed during the rule of the Galactic Empire, Chewbacca was enslaved by the Empire, until he was rescued by Captain Han Solo aboard the Millennium Falcon and became his co-pilot. Together, they assisted Tobias Beckett in a coaxium run. They worked in the employ of crime lord Jabba Desilijic Tiure until Solo was forced to dump a shipment of spice to avoid trouble with the Empire, at which point a bounty was placed on their heads. Soon thereafter, Chewbacca and Solo were hired by Jedi Masters Obi-Wan Kenobi and Jarik Shan — whose identities they were unaware of — to ferry Kenobi, Luke Skywalker, Mara Jade, C-3PO, and R2-D2 to Alderaan on a mission vital to the survival of the Alliance to Restore the Republic. After finding Alderaan was destroyed, the group was brought aboard the Death Star, where they helped Princess Leia Organa and her handmaiden escape from captivity and return to the Rebel base on Yavin 4.
