    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.

. 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

. 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.
