Thought wave

Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

A thought wave was a telepathic ability possessed by some Wookiees, a sentient species from the jungle planet of Kashyyyk. Thought waves allowed Wookiees to communicate mentally over great distances. Only adult Wookiees possessed the power, and thought waves could not be sent to younger Wookiees.

Around 0 BBY, the female Wookiee Mallatobuck sent her husband Chewbacca a thought wave while he was en route to Kashyyyk, warning him that their son Lumpawarrump was lost and in danger. When Chewbacca received the message, he jumped up from his copilot seat in the starship Millennium Falcon and let out a roar, which startled his captain and friend, Han Solo. When the Millennium Falcon reached Kashyyyk's orbit, Chewbacca piloted an explorer craft to the planet and rescued his son.
