Star Wars: The Wookie Storybook by George Lucas .. PDF
The gang’s all here: Lumpy, Malla, and Itchy are all preparing for Chewbacca’s 200th birthday in their treetop home. Lumpy wants to surprise his dad with his favorite dessert, wasaka berry pudding, but wasaka berries are only found in the “Nother World,” the dangerous, swampy depths of the Kashyyyk jungle.
Itchy tries to cheer up Lumpy with a tale of how the Wookiees first came to Kashyyyk and why he has an absent father. It’s during this story that we learn that Chewbacca (along with many other Wookiees) was captured and sold into slavery. He only gained his freedom when Han Solo decided to attack the slave traders and free All of the Wookiees. Solo then “chose Chewbacca to be his official protector.” This was apparently a great honor for all Wookiees.
As you can probably guess, Lumpy is inspired by this story and excited to see his dad (who’s coming home for his birthday), so he heads off in search of wasaka berries. One thing leads to another and soon enough, he gets lost and runs into serious trouble.
