- ―Han Solo
Wookiees, whose name for themselves translated to the People of the Trees and also informally referred to as Sasquatchs , were a species of hairy bipedal humanoids that were inhabitants of the planet Kashyyyk. One of the most noteworthy members of the species was Chewbacca, Han Solo's best friend and co-pilot, who played a vital role in the Galactic Civil War and afterwards.
