Chewbacca (or Chewie), a fictional character of the Star Wars universe, is an 8-foot tall Wookiee and co-pilot of Han Solo's ship, the Millennium Falcon. While Chewie is perfectly able to understand the galactic-standard language Basic, he is unable to speak it due to his species' vocal structure. He communicates in his own language, Shyriiwook, while Solo always speaks to Chewie in Basic (see Languages in Star Wars).
In the Star Wars Holiday Special, Chewbacca has a family (wife Mallatobuck 'Malla' and son Lumpawarrump 'Lumpie') on Kashyyyk, his homeworld. With other major Star Wars characters, he visits them on Life Day. His family also appears in some of the novels, most notably the Black Fleet Crisis.
In Vector Prime - the first in the New Jedi Order series of books, Chebacca died when a Yuuzan'Vong weapon caused the moon of the planet he was standing on to collide with that planet. Chewbacca's friends were all emotionally crushed by this loss. Han Solo was the most affected, and for a time he sought refuge among alcohol and the stars. Han beleved that it was his son Anakins fault that Chewie died, causing a rift to open between them.
