Did Chewie Die in the Last Star Wars Movie?

In the latest Star Wars movie, “The Rise of Skywalker,” many fans were left wondering whether Chewbacca, the beloved Wookiee and longtime companion of Han Solo, had met his demise.

The Scene:
The scene in question takes place on a planet called Pasaana, where our heroes are searching for a crucial clue to help them find a wayfinder device that will lead them to the Sith planet of Exegol. While attempting to escape from stormtroopers, Chewie is captured by the First Order and loaded onto a transport ship.

The Twist:
Shortly after, we see two different ships leaving the planet – one containing Rey, Finn, Poe, and Chewie’s droid friend BB-8, and another containing Kylo Ren. As Rey attempts to use her Force powers to stop Kylo’s ship from leaving, we see an intense struggle between the two Force users. In this moment of desperation, Rey accidentally unleashes a powerful lightning bolt that destroys the transport ship carrying Chewbacca.

The Aftermath:

After this shocking moment, the other characters are understandably devastated. Rey in particular is wracked with guilt over what she believes is her role in Chewie’s death.

However, shortly after this scene we learn that all is not as it seems – in fact, there was another transport ship on the planet that our heroes did not know about. This was the ship that Chewie was actually loaded onto – meaning that he was not on board the ship that was destroyed by Rey’s lightning.
