[edit] Biography

Chewbacca: «This is your hrrtayyk.»
Lumpawarrump: «I am ready.»
—Chewbacca and Lumpawarrump during the rescue of Han Solo[src]
Lumpy greets Han Solo with his mother and grandfather.

Since his father was often absent, serving his life debt to Han Solo, Lumpawarrump (or Lumpy) was somewhat timid as a child. He also had to live in his famous father's shadow.

In 8 ABY, Lumpawarrump and his mother visited Chewbacca on Coruscant. Lumpy tried to prevent burglars from stealing a datapad from the Solos' home and tracked them through the undercity. In the end Lumpy helped Chewbacca and others stop the burglars' plan to assassinate New Republic leaders.

During his rite of passage, Chewbacca came back to Kashyyyk in 16 ABY to aid his son in constructing a Bowcaster and hunting his first katarn. Sadly, Han Solo had been captured by the Yevetha, and Chewbacca had to halt the hunt to mount a rescue. Lumpy went with him, and took part in the fire fight. Though not a traditional hunt, Chewbacca declared that his son had faced the katarn and his aim was true. Lumpawarrump was then given a new name, Lumpawaroo, meaning "son of courage" (Waroo as the familiar).

After his father's death in the early days of the Yuuzhan Vong War, Lumpawaroo and Lowbacca, Chewbacca's nephew and Waroo's cousin, vowed to undertake Chewbacca's life debt to Han, but agreed to wait, as Han was still mourning the loss of Chewbacca. After the end of the war, Waroo and Lowie announced that it was time for them to undertake the debt. However, Lumpawaroo was not with the Solos as of the Dark Nest Crisis.

[edit] Second Galactic Civil War

During the Second Galactic Civil War, after Han and Leia were chased out of Mara Jade Skywalker's funeral, they went to Kashyyyk to try to convince the Wookiees to not support the Galactic Alliance. Waroo guided Han and Leia to the Rock Council and later, when they were arrested, Waroo was on guard and left purposely so the Solos could escape.
