Meet Chewbacca at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Chewbacca, the friendly Wookie from Kashyyyk, meets guests daily near the Millennium Falcon in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. He is best known as Han Solo’s loyal friend and Millennium Falcon copilot. He appears in episodes 4-6 of the original Star Wars trilogy and episodes 7-9 of the final trilogy. As you likely know, Chewbacca is a gentle giant and makes for a fun character meet-and-greet. He also gives the best hugs.

Chewbacca formerly met guests at Star Wars Launch Bay, which closed in September of 2025. Since then, he’s transitioned from being a roaming character in Galaxy’s Edge to having a traditional character meet-and-greet listed in the My Disney Experience app. You’ll want to check the app for his exact times and location on the day of your visit. Here’s how:

How to Locate Chewbacca in the My Disney Experience App

• Open the My Disney Experience app and select the pin drop at the bottom of the home screen.
• Scroll (left to right) through the icons at the top of the screen and select “Characters.”
• After selecting characters, use the locations drop-down to select the park of your choice.
• Then, on the bottom right of the screen, select “Show List.”
• Scroll through the list of characters until you find Chewbacca.
• Select his meet-and-greet, and you’ll see his location and times for the day.*
• As an alternative, you can use the map view to locate characters.

*As the day passes, you might notice that characters disappear from the app. When their last scheduled time passes, the meet-and-greet automatically disappears. A new schedule won’t be loaded until the following day. It is essential to check the app for meet-and-greets on the day of your visit. See our screenshot tutorial below for more details.
