Oh Chewbacca, who was that Wookiee I saw you with tonight?
One scene from the 。 Solo: A Star Wars Story 。trailer that dropped Sunday night is topping many fan's lists of WTF moments. And it isn't one about Han, it's about his trusty furry co-pilot. 。
SEE ALSO:New 'Solo' trailer has landed and, uh, we're all fine here, how are you 。In a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, Chewie is seen head-hugging a fellow Wookiee. This is huge: Chewie is emotionally connecting with a fellow Wookiee for the first time in all of Star Wars filmed entertainment. That is ... if you don't count the worst piece of Star Wars filmed entertainment, the dreaded TV Holiday Special. 。
(PSA: Do not now, or ever, watch the Holiday Special. It's not the fun kind of "so bad." It is ... another kind. From the Dark Side.) 。
In the Holiday Special -- canon status uncertain -- Chewie is seen returning to his family on the planet Kashyyyk for the Wookiee holiday "Life Day." He has a wife, a son, and a horndog ol' grandpaw. The Wookiee wife is called Malla, short for Mallatobuck.。

But speculation about a Wookiee love story as a。
Solo 。 subplot is premature. Sure, Malla is the Wookiee fans would most like to see made unambiguous canon on screen, if only for Chewie's sake. But Lawrence and Jon Kasdan (veteran Star Wars screenwriter and son) may not want to plump for the obvious choice.。After all, Chewie had a son. Lumpawaroo was his name, more commonly Lumpy. They too could have a tender head-lock, no? Or maybe it's someone else entirely, a girl or guy in a port; a galactic affair, perhaps, before he settled down with — let's call her Malla.。
