This book confirms that Chewbacca’s son, seen only during the 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special, is now, in fact part of the official Star Wars cinematic canon.
Hopefully we’ll find out more about Chewbacca’s son in future Star Wars movies or novels.
In the now-infamous Star Wars Holiday Special, most of the story centered on Chewbacca returning to see his family for Life Day, which includes his son known as “Lumpy.”
The Star Wars Holiday Special aired on CBS in November 1978, featuring a number of Star Wars actors such as Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker), Carrie Fisher (Leia Organa), Harrison Ford (Han Solo), Anthony Daniels (C-3PO), Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca), Kenny Baker (R2-D2) and James Earl Jones (Darth Vader).
