a Wookiee, and Chewbacca's nephew. Lowie, as his friends call him, is
somewhat gifted with the Force, and is allowed to enroll in Luke Skywalker's
Jedi Academy on Yavin 4. He is a ginger-colored Wookiee, with a unique
streak of black fur that runs around his chest and down his back. His anger was
discovered by Tamith Kai when she had to kidnap him to get to the Solo twins.
She continually goaded Lowie at the Shadow Academy, trying to lead him down
the path to the Dark Side. Lowie was eventually captured, but was rescued
before he could be turned to the Dark Side. Lowie returned to Yavin 4, and
created his own lightsaber of molten bronze light. Later, he returned to
Kashyyyk to attend his sister, Sirrakuk, in her rite of passage to adulthood.
There, following an attack by the Shadow Academy, Lowie rescued Sirra as
she battled the Nightsister Vonnda Ra in the depths of Kashyyk's jungle. He
managed to save Sirra before a syren plant consumed her. When the Diversity
Alliance grew to power, Lowbacca was taken captive, along with his sister and
Lusa. They were eventually rescued by the Solo children, and testified against
the Diversity Alliance on Coruscant. Following the death of Chewbacca at
Sernipdal, Lowbacca and his cousin, Lumpawaroo, were chosen to continue
serving out the life-debt to Han Solo and his family. Han, still grieving the loss of
Chewbacca, asked them to wait until he had reconciled Chewie's death before
taking over for him. Lowbacca was patient enough to wait for Han's decision,
and spent much of his time watching over the Solo children. Lowbacca was one
of the Jedi chosen for the assault on the Baanu Rass at Myrkr, and was one of
the few Jedi to survive the destruction of the voxyn queen. After the theft of the
Ksstarr, Lowbacca set his mind to fathoming Yuuzhan Vong technology. With
Jaina's help, they managed to decipher that every Yuuzhan Vong ship emitted a
unique gravitic signature, which allowed the alien invaders to track each of their
ships throughout the galaxy. As Jaina becamoe more and more driven to find a
solution, Lowbacca feared that she might turn to the Dark Side of the Force in
order to defeat the Yuuzhan Vong. However, he recognized that their work -
coupled with that of Sinsor Khal on Gallinore - might help the New Republic
defeat the Yuuzhan Vong. Lowbacca later served as one of Jaina Solo's
Lieutenants in the Twin Suns Squadron, and was instrumental in the
development of the Force-meld. During the Battle of Ebaq, Lowbacca was
attacked on Ebaq 9 by the Yuuzhan Vong Warmaster, Tsavong Lah, after the
Jedi confronted him in the mines. Lowbacca was speared through the shoulder
by Tsavong Lah's staff of rank, removing him from battle as he tried to repair his
vacuum suit. When Jaina Solo defeated the Warmaster, Lowbacca was
brought back to the surface and eventually recovered. During the final stages of
the battle against the Yuuzhan Vong, after the living planet Zonama Sekot
agreed to help bring about an end to the conflict, Lowbacca was one of several
Jedi Knights were bonded to seed-partners and provided with Sekotan
starships. As the many Jedi scattered into the galaxy to help with its rebuilding,
Lowbacca joined his cousin Waroo in taking up Chewbacca's life debt to Han
Solo.
