Character Background
Chewbacca stands as one of the most recognizable characters in the Star Wars saga. Standing 7 feet 3 inches tall in the Star Wars universe, this 200-year-old Wookiee from the forest planet Kashyyyk serves as Han Solo’s co-pilot and loyal friend. In “A New Hope,” Chewbacca is introduced in the Mos Eisley cantina, where Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker hire him and Han to transport them to Alderaan. His strength, loyalty, and technical expertise prove invaluable throughout the film, from helping rescue Princess Leia from the Death Star detention block to co-piloting the Millennium Falcon during the climactic Battle of Yavin.
 
Chewbacca’s distinctive appearance includes his thick brown fur, signature bandolier across his chest, and utility belt. His primary weapon, the bowcaster, is a sophisticated device handcrafted using components from a standard stormtrooper blaster with an integrated power pack and automatic cocking system. This unique weapon has a range of approximately 30 meters and fires metal quarrels with plasma energy sheathing, making it far more powerful than standard blasters.
Display this iconic Wookiee alongside other Star Wars Retro Collection figures to build out your galactic saga. The figure’s stable standing position makes it perfect for shelf display while maintaining the authentic vintage feel that collectors cherish.
