Tarfful was a Wookiee Chieftain who fought in the Battle of Kashyyyk during the Clone Wars. He was the cousin of Chewbacca, Tarful was also the chief of Kachirho at least until the Battle of Kashyyyk during the Great Jedi Purge. He had good relations with Yoda and was behind him for the entirety of the battle. Tarfful, while not a general, carefully planned out the placement of troops and warriors with Jedi Masters Luminara Unduli and Quinlan Vos. Vos also led the charge with both he and Chewbacca.

[edit] Biography

[edit] Early life

Tarfful served as the leader of Kachirho for decades. He did not let his role in politics affect his warrior's edge, as he stayed in shape by vigorous exercise and hazardous hunting trips.

It is also possible that he remained leader of Kachirho through the Separatist Crisis and the Clone Wars.

[edit] Delta Squad

Before the Clone Wars broke out, Tarfful spent years fighting Trandoshan slavers on Kashyyyk. He was eventually caught by the slavers, and was being held in one of their camps. Delta Squad was tasked to release him. They found that the slavers were going to hand him to General Grievous for interrogation, so they hurried through the camp to rescue him. Tarfful managed to destroy several IG-100 MagnaGuards attempting to drag him to the General's ship. Delta Squad took down the guards, and escorted Tarfful to his men.

Ironically, despite his gratefulness to the clones, he would kill many of them saving Yoda during the Great Jedi Purge a few weeks later. He would also kill many of the 501st Stormtroopers while defending Kachirho from the Empire months later.

[edit] Military life

As leader of the city of Kachirho, he oversaw the battle on a high observation deck alongside Chewbacca, his old friend, and Jedi Master Yoda.

He had good relations with Yoda and was behind him for the entirety of the battle. Tarfful, while not a general, carefully planned out the placement of troops and warriors with Jedi Masters Luminara Unduli and Quinlan Vos. Vos also led the charge with both he and Chewbacca.

When the clone troopers turned on the Jedi, Tarfful and Chewbacca helped Yoda to an escape pod. Interestingly enough, it was the clone commandos of Delta Squad that saved him from Trandoshan slavers before the battle. He and Chewbacca's plan was originally to get to the escape pod undetected, however almost immediately after they left the Wookiee meeting hall, they were attacked by clone troopers, but they managed to silence them before they could send word that the two Wookiees and Yoda had escaped to the rest of the 41st Elite Legion. They tried hiding from the clones in a Wookiee boat, but eventually, the Wookiees decided it was too risky.

Eventually Tarfful, Chewbacca and Yoda reached the Escape pod which was hidden in the mountains. Yoda bid farewell to his friends before leaving Kashyyyk for good. Tarfful and Chewie bid their farewells also.

A few months later, Tarfful was around when a group of six Jedi who had escaped Order 66, led by Olee Starstone, came to Kashyyyk, looking for any of the three Jedi that had been there when Order 66 had been issued. Tarfful fought in the Battle of Kashyyyk during the Great Jedi Purge but he was rounded up by the Empire and became a slave, destined to help build the first Death Star.

[edit] Behind the scenes

Tarfful was played by Michael Kingma in Revenge of the Sith.

According to the Revenge of the Sith DVD text commentary, during Yoda's "goodbye" scene to Chewbacca and Tarfful in the film, Tarfful's roar is actually Itchy's roar from The Star Wars Holiday Special.

In Star Wars: Republic Commando, the squad in which you play has a series of missions revolving around saving Kashyyyk. In one of the missions the objective is to rescue a "Wookiee by the name of Tarfful" (as explained by your mission commander) from Trandoshan slavers.

The Tarfful Wookiee costume is on display at the Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination exhibit.
