chewie with a little sling attached to his bandoleer so he could carry baby ben around on the falcon while he did repairs or handled the controls.
han trusting chewie with ben like almost no one else, the same way he trusted chewie with his own life more times than either of them could count.
chewie watching han fall from that catwalk and remembering han’s face the first time he handed chewie the tiny squirming bundle and said, “just don’t drop him, all right?”
chewie pulling his aim to the side at the last second, because he promised.
chewbacca
tfw you realize chewbacca probably loved ben almost as much as han did.
he was probably ‘uncle chewie’.
and chewie had to raise his gun against him.
chewie’s a good marksman. he was probably entirely capable of hitting kylo lethally. but he couldn’t. because he held ben as a baby and put him up on his shoulders and let ben pull on his fur because human babies all seem to go through that awful hair pulling phase.
how could he kill ben, who had been so small in his big wookiee arms when he was brand new that chewie had almost been scared to hold him for fear of breaking him.
