Lumpawaroo, often affectionately known as "Lumpy", is a character from the Star Wars universe, specifically a Wookiee who is the son of Chewbacca and Mallatobuck. He made his first appearance in the much-disputed 1978 television special, "The Star Wars Holiday Special". In the narrative, Lumpy is depicted as a young Wookiee living on the forested planet of Kashyyyk, dealing with the Empire's oppressive presence. Despite his youth, Lumpy displays typical Wookiee courage and ingenuity, playing a critical role in helping his family resist Imperial troopers.
Lumpy has seen renewed interest and development in the expanded Star Wars canon. Though originally introduced in a piece often criticized by fans and creators alike, his character has been incorporated into the broader lore with more depth and seriousness. In both the Legends and the canon continuities, Lumpy's story further enriches the tapestry of Wookiee culture, showcasing the bond and traditions of Chewbacca's family, as well as the resilience and strength inherent in the species.
