When Chewbacca the Wookiee finds out that a job he thought was just ferrying tooka cats is actually much more, he's excited to have something to do! But when he, a young bounty hunter/librarian, and a droll cargo droid--who, unbeknownst to the others is rebel spy droid K-2SO--land in the middle of a blue forest that emits a fear-causing mist, Chewie realizes the job may be too dangerous for his liking. He and his companions will have to fight off snarlers, sniffers, and their own fears as they try to recover a sacred book--and rescue Han Solo in the process! Perfect for reading before or after seeing Solo: A Star Wars Story in theaters!

5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVED THIS BOOK! Loved it loved it loved it. I love Chewbacca
Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2021

I'll just start right away with the spoiler-free review.

I LOVED THIS BOOK! Loved it loved it loved it. I love Chewbacca a lot (he's probably a main reason for intense affection for Solo), so going in I already kinda knew that I was going to like this book. Also, the fact that it's written by Tom Angleberger definitely didn't hurt, since I was really into the Origami Yoda series as a kid (and am still always up for a round of the Star Wars flick-pencil game from those books).

5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of Fun, Great Adventure

My 5 y.o. likes having longer books read to her over the course of bedtime readings. She loved this book and so did I. As a Star Wars fan for most of my almost-41 years, the novel captured the spirit of Star Wars and the characters of Chewbacca and Han Solo, but it also is written in a sly voice that a child will like. The book is probably best read aloud considering the amount of actual dialogue Chewie has. It’s great fun and both my daughter and I enjoyed it.

This is a children’s book. The way it is written makes that obvious. Though any Star Wars fan can enjoy it. It stars chewie and a few others, some new, some familiar. The story itself is exactly what one would expect from a Star Wars book. Lots of adventure, lots of action, and danger, and urgency.

So for what it is, it’s a solid read.

I wasn't sure I would like the novel considering the new canon but I gave it a try. The story progressed quickly and had good illustrations too. I especially liked the interactions between our favorite Wookiee and a certain droid from the recent Star Wars spinoff films. It kept me interested and it sent a good message of teamwork and learning to trust others. A good story overall.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fun adventure with two fan favorites...plus some girl.
Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2018

What should have been an easy job of transferring some rich girl's pet tookas from Coruscant to one of its moons quickly turns into Han being held hostage and Chewbacca, along with a young woman named Mayvlin Trillick and an undercover K-2SO, being forced to travel to the planet Ushruu to retrieve a Dark Side relic.

The book is written in third-person, but in a way that makes it read as though someone is telling you the story instead of the normal detached narration seen in adult novels. The author was also able to captured K-2SO's character and speech pattern. Onomatopoeia is used for Chewie's growls and the various animals' sounds encountered throughout the book which can be hit and miss for me.

Besides Chewie and K-2, the book also introduces an original character named Mayvlin "Mayv" Trillick, a teenager from the planet Oktaro. Having been caught by Alinka Aloo (the daughter of Sim Aloo, one of the Emperor's advisors from Return of the Jedi) trying to steal back her people's most valuable book, Alinka forced her into helping claim the relic in exchange for the book. I am so-so about Mayv. Her dialogue can be exposition heavy at times and when in a stressful situation she will use exclamations from her native language. At first, I found them to be a nice piece of showing character and world-building but they eventually became more of a nuisance, especially since they all start with Oktaro. It is funny how I found Alinka, who only appears in a flashback near the beginning and at the end of the book, to have a more complete character than Mayv, who is a main character.

Overall, The Mighty Chewbacca in the Forest of Fear was an enjoyable read. It really captured the voice and character of Chewie and K-2 while expanding the non-Sith and Jedi Force mythology with the story of the Empress of Ushruu. Really, my main problem with the book is with the character of Mayv. She is not a bad character, just an okay one.

It took about 4 hours to read. I don't usually buy books that are that long as my son is on the spectrum and he doesn't like to quit half way through. So I would like to know this type of info when I buy online.

4.0 out of 5 stars I quite liked this book
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 6, 2018

I quite liked this book. It wanted to give it 3.5 stars so it definitely deserved a round up as it is good good for 3 stars. Yes it is aimed at younger readers, but it does add something to my Star Wars experiences. The book is also quite well researched, it is written in the third person, and mentions facts from other book and time periods from the Star Wars universe.

Han has got himself captured, and Chewie has been sent on a dangerous/suicide mission to get his release. joining him are a familiar re-purposed Imperial security droid from Rouge One on his own mission and young adventurer with her own reason for doing in this mission.

I have to say I love K2's dry wit I think Tom Angleberger got his dry delivery spot on. I like that Chewie got his time in the spotlight in this book. It emphasizes that he is not just the brawn of the pair but all his other skills and characteristics from being a great pilot to his loyalty and courage. The loyalty and camaraderie between people sent on missions like this really come through. Even if they do not like each other they have a healthy respect and bond with they other members of their team.

A good story a bit kiddie in places but good non the less. One thing that I did find disappointing is they are very few illustration in this book, and they few that are there are very similar, though the story does make up for it. Lots of short chapters a good easy read that adds to the Star Wars universe.
