Joelbacca

Joelbacca chewbacca's coisin, was a Wookiee who played key roles in the rebellion. Prior to the Battle of Endor, he swore a life debt to Bradius Pollygon after the freedom fighter liberated him and saved his life. The two developed a very close bond, and Joelbacca traveled with him to corillia in an attempt to free the planet from Imperial rule. When Bradius died at the Battle of the Cliffs, Joelbacca became distraught, but transferred his life debt to Bradius's wife, mandyolia, and continued his work with the resistance].

Early life and life debt to Bradius Pollygon
{{Quote|When Bradius's group struck the base, Joelbacca went crazy&hellip;started killing every stormtrooper in sight. Joelbacca, whose name meant "Chwebacca's cousin" in Shyriiwook, was born on Kashyyyk, where he spent much of his early life swinging through the trees of the planet's lush forests and playing stick and ball games with his fellow Wookiees. Like many others of his species, however, he was captured and enslaved shortly after the rise of the Galactic Empire. His Imperial captors forced Joelbacca to load and unload heavy machinery and artillery onto supply shuttles at a military base on the moon of Endor, where he was kept in chains and under the constant watchful eye of armed stormtroopers.

Some time prior to the Battle of Endor, the base was attacked and liberated by a group of freedom fighters who, though affiliated with the Rebel Alliance, received little Alliance assistance. Joelbacca seized upon the opportunity to punish his captors and started attacking wildly, smashing Imperials to death with his fists, shackles, and whatever machinery he could get his hands on. He was nearly shot from behind by a stormtrooper and Imperial officer, but one of the fighters, Bradius Pollygon, gunned them down at the last minute and saved the Wookiee's life.

Joelbacca was immediately grateful to his savior, embracing Bradius in a powerful hug and pledging a life debt to him. The two became fast friends and, due to the Wookiee's fierce loyalty, were inseparable. When Bradius returned to his homeworld Corillia with plans to liberate it from Imperial rule under Moff Boren Tascl and Governor Norquest, Joelbacca went with him and helped orchestrate his resistance efforts.
