With another attempt at producing a Star Wars eBook, Del Rey has met with mild success in getting A Forest Apart out on time. It was available at most of the online eBook sellers within a day of its release.
That said, Chewbacca fans should rejoice. Not only does this story include the triumphant reemergence of the Wookiee, but readers are treated to a first-hand glimpse of the workings of his mind.
Revolving completely around Chewbacca, his life-mate Mallatobuck and their son Lumpawarrump, it is set after Return of the Jedi, and long before Chewbacca's death in the New Jedi Order.
The story involves a plot against the New Republic, which the Wookiee family learns about, following Lumpy's dangerous disobedience of his parents.
Filled with show more plenty of action and dialogue directly from the Wookiees' mouth, this is a story as unique as it is fun to read. Though short, it is a great tie-in to its companion novel, Tatooine Ghost, due out in hardcover on March 3rd. Any fan of Chewbacca should consider this a must-read and take the time to download it. show less

Lumpy.
Why did that kid ever have to exist? The star wars universe has done just fine with only hearing about Chewie, so this short story about his son and wife just made me grind my teeth.
I finished [b:The Hive|6339483|The Hive|Steven Barnes|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1328309105s/6339483.jpg|6525427], and now this. The Star Wars short stories aren't working real well for me so far...

A little too sweet for me. Chewbaca's family comes for a visit, and he realizes being an absent dad is hard on his son. Hijinks follow, the disobedient child helps save the day, etc etc etc.
