Chewbacca (/tʃuːˈbɑːkə/ choo-BAH-kə), nicknamed "Chewie", is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise. He is a Wookiee—a tall, hairy, highly intelligent species originating from the fictional planet Kashyyyk.[6][7] He first appeared in the original film trilogy as the loyal friend of the smuggler Han Solo. He was also the co-pilot of Han's starship, the Millennium Falcon.[1][8] Chewbacca is portrayed by Peter Mayhew in five films.
