    Sure.
    He makes a decision. He could go a number of directions. It's good for his character to have to do that.

    Here are my guesses:

    Rey tries to convince Luke to leave- only to find that the falcon doesn't work anymore. The porgs have disassembled some ship parts, so they cannot leave. Chewbacca spends time trying to repair the ships using parts from both ships. Leia agrees to send ships over to pick up Luke. Chewbacca must find a way to protect the ship from the porgs.

    The porgs demand that Chewbacca prove himself by fighting the sea serpent with Rey.

    Kylo Ren's fleet arrives instead of the Resistance.

    When Kylo Ren's fleet arrives, Chewbacca flies the ship while R2D2 shoots. Kylo takes out the falcon and it crash lands in the ocean. Chew and R2D2 must get out of the falcon before it sinks.

    When Chewie makes it to shore, he is in charge of guarding Kylo and not letting him escape. Kylo and Chewbacca have a one-on-one talk.

    I think it would be an absolutely beautiful and classy move for Rian Johnson to have Chewbacca walk off into into the Ahch-to sunset, and end his journey there.

    However, I suspect he will recover from his loss by communing with Ahch-to's fauna, and then rejoin Rey and Luke in the fight.

    Does Luke speak Wookie? I can't remember. Will Rey have to interpret for him?

    I think so. Chewbacca likes Rey. Han said so, and you can see how he looks at her.

    No one wants Vengeful Rogue Chewbacca?
    He goes all Saw Gerrera, forms a band of radical aliens and tortures and slaughters his way through the First Order towards Kylo and Snoke.

    I think there has to be more to Chewbacca having shot and injured Kylo. And the fact that Kylo killed Han. How can there not be a side plot there given that they both have reasons to be after each other?

    If Chewie ever has kids I bet that he will do everything to avoid them seeing this picture.

    Can't view the images, but assume they're of Chewie in the "skimmer" craft from Crait. If so, you're right. It isn't the MF. And it's very likely on Crait. So Chewie does indeed leave, and probably with Rey.

    He does look more 'real' than ever. Though I wish he looked older.... he looks younger than his appearance in ROTS! ;)

    Yeah I believe he will leave for Crait, with Rey, and they leave Luke behind... though Luke will change his mind and raise the X Wing from the depths to follow them.

    Something crossed my mind the other day after watching the BTS reel. There is an opportunity for a a very intense/emotional scene between Chewie and Kylo/Ben.

    You could really see how torn and upset Chewie was about seeing Ben, and of course what happened. Imagine a scene with him and Chewie together? Whether it be a conversation, a fight, Chewie trying to rip his arms off, etc. What makes it so powerful, though, is the fact that Ben grew up with Chewie, and Chewie probably helped raise him. Like family. I can imagine the rage in Chewie, and the urge to just trash Ben, but the reluctance because he loves him. In my head, I have a vision of a scene where Chewie sort of grabs him (in the middle of anotehr fight or something?) and and bear hugs him, or pins him to the ground, etc. Could be quite the emotionally charged, intense scene...

    Could Chewie be moving into a phase where he's no longer part of the main missions of the films after 8 but we always see him as a pilot in the big space battles? I would hope not but that is one way they could go if they feel like Chewie doesn't quite work as a main character side kick with Rey or Finn...I guess what I'm saying is maybe he'll have a pretty minor role in Ep. 9?

    Not likely now, with a younger guy playing him. And there are no new characters yet that can supplant Chewie's role as the "big guy" of the group. So he's safe.

    It's cool that we are wondering what so many characters will do next. The obvious... what will Luke, Rey, Kylo do? And then, well, what will Chewie do? I can think of a good number of legit directs he could take. Another thing to look for.

    I love Chewie to death, but I do hope the series moves on to involve a different alien sidekick for the new heroes.

    Quick question: What's Chewie's bandolier for? Has he ever used it? Have even seen hit touch it?

    Yeah, I too wish they would of put more grey into Chewie's fur. And I like the idea of Luke being the one who gets his X-Wing out of the ocean; and leaving Ahch-to in it.

    well do you want him to be naked? My Poor innocent eyes.:p
    his bandolier is to give him clothing. Think of a teddy bear who just wears a shirt.;)

    and I don't think we've ever seen him do anything with it.
