Chewbacca (/tÊuËËbÉËkÉ/), nicknamed Chewie, is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise. He is a Wookiee, a tall, hirsute biped and intelligent species from the planet Kashyyyk. Chewbacca is the loyal friend and associate of Han Solo, and serves as co-pilot on Solo's spaceship, the Millennium Falcon. Chewbacca is portrayed by actor Peter Mayhew in the Star Wars films. The character has also appeared on television, in books, comics, and video games.
He is known to fans for playing a fierce and powerful overgrown teddy bear. But towering Chewbacca star Peter Mayhew, 71, turned Jedi when he showed off a trendy lightsaber cane when he attended the Star Wars: The Force Awakens premiere in Hollywood on Monday. The jolly actor seemed in high spirits as he gingerly made his way up the red carpet while grasping his futuristic walking aid.
