At the very least, they'll probably be mentioned.Ĭhris Agar is a senior movie/TV news editor for Screen Rant and one of Screen Rant's Rotten Tomatoes approved critics.
Even if it was just for a cameo, it wouldn't be surprising to see some more Wookiees. Through the Aftermath series, Lucasfilm seems to be planting seeds that directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller will explore in their anthology, uncovering much of the dynamic duo's pasts. It will be interesting to see if Chewbacca's family history is covered elsewhere, either in another novel or the young Han Solo spinoff film. Chewie was born 200 years before the Battle of Yavin and could have had a child at any point before the rise of the Empire. Wendig does not mention how old Waroo is in the interlude, but it's worth pointing out that Wookiees can have a lifespan of several centuries. Fortunately, this time around, the father/son reconnection is more emotionally resonant. It would appear Waroo's full name - Lumpawaroo - is designed to be an homage to the Holiday Special, since he very easily could be referred to as "Lumpy." The story group clearly leaves no stone unturned when looking for inspiration and will draw from anything if they see fit. This, of course, included Chewie's son, Lumpy. The maligned Star Wars Holiday Special was all about Chewie coming home for Life Day, having a celebration with his relatives. Longtime Star Wars fans know that this isn't the first time Chewbacca has had a family. After disposing of Dessard, Chewie and Waroo have an emotional reunion and "sing a song of family."
Before Dessard can deliver a killing strike to Waroo, he is rescued by a group led by his father, Chewbacca. This particular instance sees him encounter Imperial officer Dessard, who takes great pleasure in tormenting the Wookiees. "Waroo," as he's called, is looking to eliminate any leftover traces of the Empire, freeing some youngsters from a child labor camp. In Empire's End, one of these sections is set on Kashyyyk, detailing the exploits of a Wookiee named Lumpawaroo. The Aftermath trilogy by Chuck Wendig is noteworthy for including multiple interludes that provide snapshots of what's happening around the galaxy, separate from the main plot. The recently-published novel Aftermath: Empire's End (which reveals what happened to the infamous Jar Jar Binks) confirms that Chewbacca has living family on his native world, and he's actually a father. Han mentions Chewie's family in a passage from Life Debt, and in Bloodline, the Wookiee is far away from the comings and goings of the New Republic, settling into a domesticated life after years of being at war. It's been hinted at before in the Disney canon that Chewbacca has some blood relatives who live on the planet.
