Chewbacca actor Joonas Suotamo says he filmed a deleted scene for Star Wars: The Force Awakens where he and Leia mourn Han's death together.
The death of Chewbacca had a severe impact on the entire Solo family, as well as many others. Anakin, however, also blamed himself, and delved further into his own beliefs, despite his brother Jacen's protests. Chewbacca accompanied the others to the Rebel base of Yavin 4 where they were preparing for their strike at the Death Star.
Han finally gave in, helping Luke Skywalker destroy the Death Star. The death of C-3PO was teased heavily in later trailers, but, like Chewbacca's death, it was reversed with a throwaway line minutes after the droid's emotional goodbye. Chewbacca (/ tʃ uː ˈ b ɑː k ə /), nicknamed "Chewie", is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise. The Skywalker saga has officially come to an end.
For one Lucasfilm employee, the decision to change Star Wars' canonical Expanded Universe to the non-canon Legends may come down to one event, the death of Chewbacca.
However, Chewbacca managed to convince Han to return and help the Rebels. And since it’s the final film in this sweeping, epic, multi-generational story, there’s one thing you can definitely count on: Some main characters are going to die. That aspect of the scene was effective, but some had issues with director J.J. Abrams arguably taking the easy way out, skirting around the real, serious consequences of Rey's actions. Since the Star Was brand was acquired by Disney many decisions, both big and small, have angered fans.
In The Empire Strikes Back (1980), set three years later, Chewbacca tries to leave the Rebellion along with Han in order to repay Jabba, but is drawn back into the war when the Empire invaded the Rebel base on Hoth .
Most were probably happy Chewbacca survived the saga, though a case can be made this scene would have been more impactful if the Wookiee's death was permanent. Leia's death in the final movie is one too many for poor Chewie. In the film's final scene, Princess Leia awards Chewbacca a medal alongside Luke and Han.
He played a pivotal role in the rescue of Princess Leia, and was aboard the Millineum Falcon when he and Han returned to help save the Rebellion by covering Luke's back while he destroyed the Death Star. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is the ninth and final installment of a story that began in 1977 and has captured millions of hearts and imaginations ever since.
The scene where he gets the news of her demise is heartbreaking.He drops to his knees and wails loudly enough to turn heads. Han blamed Anakin for leaving Chewbacca behind, and it would be many months before the two were able to reconcile. Chewbacca has been in the Star Wars franchise since the very first movie, where he was the co-pilot to Han Solo. Eager to get their pay, Solo and the Wookiee chose not to get involved with their "revolution" and left. But the Chewbacca anecdote highlights the difficulties Disney faced with the acquisition of the Star Wars franchise, summarizing the problem with the expanded universe in a nutshell.
