    Dialog transcript
    Chewbacca and the two droids sit around the dejarik table, Chewbacca seems very pleased with himself as he rests his lanky fur-covered arms over his head.
    C-3PO
    Now be careful, Artoo.
    Artoo immediately reaches up and taps the computer with his manipulator, causing one of the holographic creatures to walk to the new square. A sudden frown crosses Chewbacca's face and he begins yelling in Shyriiwook at R2. Threepio intercedes on behalf of his small companion and begins to argue with the huge Wookiee.
    C-3PO
    He made a fair move. Screaming about it won't help you.
    Han Solo
    Let him have it. It's not wise to upset a Wookiee.
    C-3PO
    But sir, nobody worries about upsetting a droid.
    Han Solo
    That's 'cause droids don't pull people's arms out of their socket when they lose. Wookiees are known to do that.
    C-3PO
    I see your point, sir. I suggest a new strategy, Artoo. Let the Wookiee win.

    Han Solo
    I saw them! I saw them!
    Leia Organa Solo
    Saw what?
    Han Solo
    Star Destroyers, two of them, coming right at us.
    Threepio bumps and bangs his way into the cockpit.
    C-3PO
    Sir, sir! Might I suggest...
    Han Solo
    Leia, shut him up or shut him down!
    Chewie, check the deflector shield!
    Chewbacca barks a reply as he readjusts an overhead switch.
    Han Solo
    Oh, great. Well, we can still outmaneuver them.

    Han Solo
    Prepare to make the jump to lightspeed.
    C-3PO
    But, sir!
    Leia Organa Solo
    They're getting closer!
    Han Solo
    Oh yeah? Watch this.
    Expectantly, they look out the cockpit window as stars do not go into hyperspace, but just sit there. Han and Chewie look at each other and are thrown into an acute state of concern.
    Leia Organa Solo
    Watch what?
    Han tries again. Still nothing.
    Han Solo
    I think we're in trouble.
    C-3PO
    If I may say so, sir, I noticed earlier that the hyperdrive motivator has been damaged. It's impossible to go to lightspeed!
    Han Solo
    We're in trouble!

    Han Solo
    Horizontal boosters...!
    Chewbacca
    Awwwr!
    Han Solo
    Alluvial dampers...! Well that's not it.
    Chewbacca
    Awwwr!
    Han Solo
    Bring me the hydrospanners!
    Chewbacca hurries over to the pit and places the tools on the edge.
    Han Solo
    I don't know how we're going to get out of this one.
    Suddenly, a loud thump hits the side of the Falcon, causing it to lurch radically. Chewie barks. The tools fall into the pit on top of Han.
    Han Solo
    Oww! Chewie!
    More turbulence rocks the ship.
    Han Solo
    That was no laser blast! Something hit us.
    Leia Organa Solo
    Han, get up here!
    Han Solo
    Come on, Chewie!
    Han climbs out of the hold like a shot. Both he and Chewie run out of the hold and toward the cockpit.

    Leia Organa Solo
    Asteroids!
    Han Solo
    Oh, no! Chewie, set two-seven-one.
    Leia Organa Solo
    What are you doing? You're not actually going into an asteroid field?
    Han Solo
    They'd be crazy to follow us, wouldn't they?
    Leia Organa Solo
    You don't have to do this to impress me.
    C-3PO
    Sir, the possibility of successfully navigating an asteroid field is approximately three thousand, seven hundred and twenty to one.
    Han Solo
    Never tell me the odds!

    Han Solo
    You said you wanted to be around when I made a mistake; well, this could be it, sweetheart.
    Leia Organa Solo
    I take it back. We're going to get pulverized if we stay out here much longer.
    Han Solo
    I'm not going to argue with that.
    C-3PO
    Pulverized?
    Han Solo
    I'm going in closer to one of those big ones.
    Leia Organa Solo
    Closer?
    C-3PO
    Closer?!
    Chewbacca
    Awwwr?!

    C-3PO
    Oh, this is suicide!
    Han notices something on his main scope and nudges Chewbacca, pointing.
    Han Solo
    There. That looks pretty good.
    Leia Organa Solo
    What looks pretty good?
    Han Solo
    Yeah. That'll do nicely.
    C-3PO
    Excuse me, ma'am, but where are we going?
    The Millennium Falcon dives into the huge crater and disappears.
    Leia Organa Solo
    I hope you know what you're doing.
    Han Solo
    Yeah, me too.

    Han Solo
    I'm going to shut down everything but the emergency power systems.
    C-3PO
    Sir, I'm almost afraid to ask, but... does that include shutting me down, too?
    Chewbacca
    Raawk (yes)
    Han Solo
    No, I need you to talk to the Falcon, find out what's wrong with the hyperdrive.
    Suddenly, the ship lurches, causing all the loose items in the cockpit to go flying.
    C-3PO
    Sir, it's quite possible this asteroid is not entirely stable.
    Han Solo
    Not entirely stable? I'm glad you're here to tell us these things. Chewie, take the professor in the back and plug him into the hyperdrive.
    C-3PO
    Oh! Sometimes I just don't understand human behavior. After all, I'm only trying to do my job in the most...

    C-3PO
    Oh, where is Artoo when I need him?
    C-3PO
    Sir, I don't know where your ship learned to communicate, but it has the most peculiar dialect. I believe, sir, it says that the power coupling on the negative axis has been polarized. I'm afraid you'll have to replace it.
    Han Solo
    Well, of course I'll have to replace it.
    Han hands a wire coil up to Chewie who is working near the ceiling.
    Han Solo
    Here! And Chewie...
    Han glances back at Threepio, then speaks quietly to Chewie so only he can hear.
    Han Solo
    ... I think we'd better replace the negative power coupling.

    Leia Organa Solo
    There's something out there.
    Han Solo
    Where?
    Leia Organa Solo
    Outside, in the cave.
    C-3PO
    There it is. Listen! Listen!
    Han Solo
    I'm going out there.
    Leia Organa Solo
    Are you crazy?!
    Han Solo
    I just got this bucket back together. I'm not going to let something tear it apart.
    Han and Chewie grab their breath masks off a rack and hurry out. Leia follows.
    Leia Organa Solo
    Then I'm going with you.
    C-3PO
    I think it might be better if I stay here and guard the ship. Oh, no.

    Leia Organa Solo
    This ground sure feels strange. It doesn't feel like rock at all.

    There's an awful lot of moisture in here.

    I don't know. I have a bad feeling about this.

    Han Solo
    Watch out!
    Han Solo
    Yeah, that's what I thought. Mynock. Chewie, check the rest of the ship, make sure there aren't any more attached. They're chewing on the power cables.
    Leia Organa Solo
    Mynocks?
    Han Solo
    Go on inside. We'll clean them off if there are any more.

    Han Solo
    All right, Chewie, let's get out of here!
    Leia Organa Solo
    The Empire is still out there. I don't think it's wise to...
    Han Solo
    No time to discuss this in committee.
    Leia Organa Solo
    I am not a committee! You can't make the jump to light-speed in this asteroid field...
    Han Solo
    Sit down, sweetheart. We're taking off!
    C-3PO
    Look!
    Han Solo
    I see it, I see it.
    Suddenly, a row of jagged white stalagmites and stalactites can be seen surrounding the entrance. And as the Falcon moves forward, the entrance to the cave grows ever smaller. Han pulls hard on the throttle, sending his ship surging forward.
    C-3PO
    We're doomed!
    Leia Organa Solo
    The cave is collapsing.
    Han Solo
    This is no cave.

    Oh, thank goodness we're coming out of the asteroid field.
    Han Solo
    Let's get out of here. Ready for light-speed? One... two... three!
    Han pulls back on the hyperspace throttle and - nothing happens.
    Han Solo
    It's not fair!
    Chewbacca
    Awwwrr!
    Han Solo
    The transfer circuits are working. It's not my fault!
    Leia Organa Solo
    No light-speed?
    Han Solo
    It's not my fault.
    C-3PO
    Sir, we just lost the main rear deflector shield. One more direct hit on the back quarter and we're done for.
    Han Solo
    Turn her around.
    Chewbacca
    Awwrrr?
    Han Solo
    I said turn her around! I'm going to put all power in the front shield.
    Leia Organa Solo
    You're going to attack them?!
    C-3PO
    Sir, the odds of surviving a direct assault on an Imperial Star Destroyer...

    Captain Solo, this time you have gone too far.
    Chewbacca
    Grrr!
    C-3PO
    No, I will not be quiet, Chewbacca. Why doesn't anyone listen to me?
    Han Solo
    Chewie, the fleet is beginning to break up. Go back and stand by the manual release for the landing claw.
    C-3PO
    I really don't see how that is going to help. Surrender is a perfectly acceptable alternative in extreme circumstances. The Empire may be gracious enough...
    Leia reaches over and shuts off Threepio, mid-sentence.
    Han Solo
    Thank you.
    Leia Organa Solo
    What did you have in mind for your next move?
    Han Solo
    Well, if they follow standard Imperial procedure, they'll dump their garbage before they go to light-speed, then we just float away.
    Leia Organa Solo
    With the rest of the garbage.Then what?
    Han Solo
    Then we've got to find a safe port somewhere around here. Got any ideas?
    Leia Organa Solo
    No. Where are we?
    Han Solo
    The Anoat system.
    Leia Organa Solo
    Anoat system. There's not much there.
    Han Solo
    No. Well, wait. This is interesting. Lando.
    Leia Organa Solo
    Lando system?
    Han Solo
    Lando's not a system, he's a man. Lando Calrissian. He's a card player, gambler, scoundrel. You'd like him.
    Leia Organa Solo
    Thanks.
    Han Solo
    Bespin. It's pretty far, but I think we can make it.
    Leia Organa Solo
    A mining colony?
    Han Solo
    Yeah, a Tibanna gas mine. Lando conned somebody out of it. We go back a long way, Lando and me.
    Leia Organa Solo
    Can you trust him?
    Han Solo
    No. But he has no love for the Empire, I can tell you that.
    Chewbacca
    Arrww!
    Han Solo
    Here we go, Chewie. Stand by. Detach!

Summary
Chewbacca was a legendary Wookiee from Kashyyyk, best known for being the co-pilot of Han Solo's ship, the Millennium Falcon. He was the son of Attichitcuk, the husband of Mallatobuck, and the father of Lumpawaroo. Chewbacca carried with him the name of an ancient Wookiee hero, the great Bacca, first of the great chieftains of Kashyyyk, and the creator of a sword that denoted leadership among the Wookiees. This name placed Chewbacca in a noble lineage, which was further supported by his role in the Battle of Kashyyyk during the Clone Wars and during the Galactic Civil War. Born in 200 BBY, Chewbacca became a navigator of the Claatuvac Guild and fought alongside Jedi Grand Master Yoda at the Battle of Kashyyyk during the Clone Wars, but was condemned to slavery by the Galactic Empire. Rescued by Han Solo, Chewbacca swore a life-debt to Solo and accompanied him throughout his smuggling career. In 0 BBY, Solo and Chewbacca fell in with the Rebel Alliance and flew at the Battle of Yavin. After the battle, Chewbacca was considered a hero of the Alliance, and he played a role in key victories against the Galactic Empire. After the declaration of the New Republic, Chewbacca became the protector of Han and Leia Organa Solo's children, Jaina, Jacen and Anakin. Chewbacca was a wise, sophisticated being of great strength and loyalty. As technologically savvy as the brightest Academy graduate, he was also a skilled mechanic. Chewbacca, like many Wookiees, was able to understand Basic, but he could not speak it due to his species's vocal structure. He instead spoke Shyriiwook, the main Wookiee language, composed largely of growls and grunts, to his non-Wookiee companions who typically replied in Basic.
