I think Boba should get to hold a really big dog :)
Taking one quote from the prequels and running with it all the way to space. Also, combined a couple of requests from a while ago. đ
When Chewbacca came of age the wise woman read his eyes and told him his future. Â He would live a long life, face many hardships and many great joys, and if he was steadfast and courageous he would earn a place in The Histories. Â
âI see four pups in your future, more by bond than blood.â Â sheâd said. Â The math wasnât hard, one by blood- that could wait until he found a wife- and three heâd have to go find himself.
A good future he thought, one he intended to earn.

Sometime during that first mad escape from Mimban he realizes Han Solo is a dangerous mix of smart and stupid. Â He is honest though, at least to Chewbacca, and didnât treat him like the animal other humans did.
But he clearly needs looking after. Â
Not long after he thinks this Han saves his life. Â If anyone asks Chewbacca will tell them thatâs why he follows Solo, a life debt is a serious thing.
But in truth it has more to do with the kindness hidden under the jokes and facade of toughness. Â This one has been alone his whole life and is still good at his core.
And if he is honest with himself, he had decided he was keeping this one the moment he grunted out an escape plan for them both in truly terrible garbled Shyriiwook.
Now he just has to teach Han not to talk his way into anything he canât talk  his way out of.

Luke Skywalker is shockingly naive the first time Chewbacca met him. Newly orphaned, for a second time, he still looked around with wide guileless eyes that got him in trouble almost immediately.
When Han takes the job from Luke and the Jedi not even trying to pretend he isnât one Chewbacca knows this job will be different. Â
He did not anticipate exactly how different.
Han fidgets restlessly and grumbles to himself. Â Chewbacca does not say anything, but he keys the coordinates for Yavin into the hyperdrive. Â He doesnât submit them. Â Not yet.
âKriff.â Han hisses. Â âI must be crazy.â
Now he submits them to the navicomputer.
âWe need to go back.â Han says, dumping them out of hyperspace. Â Chewbacca immediately begins wheeling the ship around just as the navicomputer spits out a route.
Han looks from the computer to him. His mouth twists like he doesnât know whether to frown or smile. Â
In the end all he does is say âRight, letâs go make sure Luke doesnât get himself killed.â and takes them to lightspeed again.
A very real concern, Luke is altogether too sure heâs the storybook hero. Â
Theyâll have to teach him to take better care of himself.

âCan someone get this walking carpet out of my way?â
He doesnât respond. Â The girl is angry. So angry she is lashing out at everyone even her rescuers. Â He can only begin to imagine how she feels. Â His home is imprisoned, trapped in the Empireâs iron grip. Â He know what it is to mourn a homeworld in chains. Â
He cannot even begin to imagine what it would be like to lose his world entirely.
Later, after they have escaped and are on their way to Yavin Leia comes to find him alone in the cockpit.
âIâm sorry,â she says, quietly. Â Her rage cooled for now. Â âAbout earlier. Â I shouldnât have insulted you like that. Especially when you risked your life to rescue me. Â I just-â
All at once whatever blocks she had in place fail. Â Her eyes tear up and she whispers, âTheyâre dead.â Â She covers her mouth for a moment, like she wants to deny what sheâs said. Â But the tears flow harder and she continues. Â âTheyâre all dead. Â Everyone-â
Words fail her then, but she stands there weeping silently for a moment, before Chewbacca simply scoops her up and holds her in his lap.
(Sheâs such a tiny thing, full to bursting with anger and sorrow)
He rocks her gently, and croons calming nonsense, and lets her cry and cling to him.
This is not the first hug sheâs given him. Â It will not be the last, but with luck there will not be more this full of pain.
âYou cannot muscle your way through grief,â he tells her, even though he knows she doesnât understand. Â âYou must weather it instead.â
He hopes this in not a lesson she needs to use often.
The comments on my last post are sending me, so have some more TFU Boba, because while he may not be thirsty, you all sure are.
And donât forget to say thank you to the comicâs artists, Omar Francia and Manuel Silva.
If you want to read the whole comic yourself, you can find the whole thing on readcomicsonline. I didnât screenshot everything. ;)
My hand slipped again because I can't help drawing them
âRain comes fast on Tatooine, without a cloud in the sky, sheâll release everything she has. I dont know when the tradition started, but eventually, the people followed suit. Life is hard here, but when it rains, for those few moments, we scream to the stars and then get back to living.â
â
Rain and Life on Tatooine bc I like making up Tatooine culture stuff. Another bit - you can always tell when you start thinking of Tatooine has home - cus when it rains it just clicks.Â
Enjoy! Do not repost!Â
How did fox get his scars?
So for his facial scars he got the one on his nose when a bounty hunter kidnapped some senator's son. Fox's squad was brutally murdered when they went after the bounty hunter and it the end it was Fox who cought him. I elaborated more on this here in this post
The one on his eyebrow is the most embarrassing one because he was so tired after Zillo beast incident that he didn't have time to sleep or even eat so on day 4th of no sleeping he just went to his office, wanted to sit for a second but he stumbled over one of the datapads laying on the floor and hit his head on the desk. Woke up 4 hours later with bloody face and was too embarrassed to go to the med bay to heal this properly. Every time someone ask him about it he tells a different sotry so no one knows the real one. As for his body scars he has a lot of them especially on his hands (he just like hand-to-hand combat). I wrote more about it here Generally Fox has a lot of scars mostly because he really thinks that some people will need bacta more than him and I have a hc that Corries sadly don't have a lot of medical supplies because they are 'easy to replace'. No one talks about this but it changes later when Fox and Thorn helps Cody and Obi Wan on a mission on Coruscant and Fox gets shot and nearly dies because they don't even have a bacta tank in their med bay and Cody really didn't know that it was this bad. Sorry for throwing my headcanons haha, hope it's enough for your answear, I can talk about Corries for hours.
My contribution to @clanoftwoweek except I ignored the prompts because I just wanted to draw some father/son shenanigans. Life with toddlersâŠ. I know it well.
