Ralrracheen

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

Ralrracheen, also called Ralrra, was an ambassador for Kashyyyk when dealing with the Galactic Republic.

[edit] Biography

Ralrracheen had a speech impediment which made him easier for non-Wookiees to understand, a useful trait when dealing with others in his diplomatic work. Later, he became a slave to the Empire, and was used by his Imperial masters to communicate with other Wookiees. At first, he tried to resist Imperial occupation forces but forced himself to comply after they executed a dozen women and children from his family unit. His proximity to Imperial officers provided him with information vital to the Alliance's effort to free Kashyyyk. Like most Wookiees, after the Alliance freed Kashyyyk, he felt he owed a life debt to the Alliance for its efforts.

When Chewbacca brought Princess Leia Organa Solo to Kashyyyk to keep her safe from Grand Admiral Thrawn's Noghri Death Commandos, Ralrra was one of two Wookiees assigned to protect her. Years later, Ralrra was present at Chewbacca's funeral.

Ralrra was also the only Wookiee ever known to speak Basic.
