Star Wars: 10 Things You Didn't Know About Chewbacca
9. He Has A Wife And Kid
If you were someone that was introduced to the galaxy far, far away in the time after the Original Trilogy was first released in theatres, there's a good chance you've never been put through the bizarre experience that is the Star Wars Holiday Special.
But if you do ever feel like celebrating Life Day with Chewie and the rest of the gang on Kashyyyk, then you'll discover that Chewbacca has an entire Wookiee family that has never been seen on the big screen at any point, and that Chewie's father is a rather horny ol' man who enjoys VR, erm, experiences.
Chewie also has a wife called Mallatobuck, and the pair also have a son known as Lumpawaroo (Lumpy for short).
While these two characters wouldn't pop up onscreen ever again, Chewie did eventually reunite with his lost son and wife during the Liberation of Kashyyyk after the Galactic Civil War, with Lumpy being forced to work in an Imperial labour camp for years when the planet was enslaved by the Empire.
