* LanguageBarrier: Zarro has no idea what Chewbacca is saying, which causes her in the beginning to constantly guess the ''opposite'' of what Chewbacca is going to do. For example, after pulling the "Do you know what it means to be a slave?" card, Chewie gets '''[[BerserkButton pissed]]''' and starts digging through his cockpit. Zarro assumes that he's angry that she's pulling at his morality and now he's just trying to fix his A-Wing so he can ScrewThisImOuttaHere, but then sees him pull out his bowcaster fully ready to kick some ass.

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Zarro finally convinces Chewie to help her free her dad by asking if he even knows [[BerserkButton what it means to be a slave]]. Considering Wookiees are subjects of the slave trade, oh ho, you asked the right question.
-->'''Zarro:''' Do you know what that means? To be a ''slave?''

Not to be mistaken with the 2001 ''Chewbacca'' comic series, which revolves around his history as characters look back after his death. Don't worry; it's just ''Legends''.

''Chewbacca'' is a story starring everyone's favourite Wookie ([[CaptainObvious naturally]]). He finds himself helping an escaped slave named Zarro [[spoiler: rescue her father from his imprisonment.]]

The story goes that an alien slave master, Jaum, has bought off everyone on the planet Andelm-4. Zarro's father is in debt to Jaum, and would pay him but for the fact that [[Film/ANewHope the destruction of the Death Star]] has deflated the value of credits. Jaum, of course, sends both of them to work in his mines, but Zarro escapes.

* AllThereInTheScript: The writer made two scripts, the one where Chewie speaks in Wookiee, and one including translations of what he's saying. Of course, the latter is for Lucasfilm's internal use.



--> '''Narrator''': The evil galactic Empire's greatest weapon, the Death Star, has been destroyed by CHEWBACCA, warrior son of the planet KASHYYYK...with some help from his trusty sidekick Han and his friends Luke and Leia. But Chewie is not one to grandstand. There is still much to accomplish.

* RidiculousExchangeRates: The destruction of the Death Star has deflated the value of credits. Zarro's father would have enough money to pay his debt to Jaum if it weren't for this, which leads to Jaum enslaving him & his daughter and thus kicking the story off.

* GrievousHarmWithABody: While Chewbacca is carrying a Gonk droid (don't ask), one of the villains mocks him for bringing "a dead power droid to a blaster fight." Chewie promptly smashed the droid into the mook's head.



** Ironically enough, Chewbacca himself could be considered this, at least in the first issue. The first few pages are devoted to Zarro and her father's imprisonment -- it isn't until well into the issue that we even meet our Wookie friend.

* EvilDebtCollector: Jaum. Also intersects with, appropriately enough, ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney.

* TheBigGuy: Chewbacca, of course.
--> '''Zarro''': Look, I just need people to think you're a big strong hero. You're huge, and could probably scare Jaum into letting everyone go.
* BoyishShortHair: Zarro. She looks rather androgynous.
* EloquentInMyNativeTongue: Zarro doesn't understand Shyriiwook. Chewbacca understands Basic, but Wookies are unable to speak it due to the arrangement of their vocal cords. The fact that Han and Threepio aren't around to translate doesn't help.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: The opening crawl makes it obvious that Chewbacca considers Luke, Han, and Leia to be this in regards to the events of ''A New Hope''.
** Ironically enough, Chewbacca himself could be considered this, at least in the first issue. The first few pages are devoted to Zarro and her father's imprisonment -- it isn't until well into the issue that we even meet our Wookie friend.
