The mighty
Wookiee warrior named Tarfful helped the Republic forces defend his native world of
Kashyyyk when the
Separatists invaded the planet during the Clone Wars. The fierce and towering Tarfful served under the command of the wise
Jedi Master Yoda, who had fostered a close relationship with the Wookiee people. It was Tarfful who was at Yoda's side on
Coruscant as the little Jedi Master organized his task force to Kashyyyk.
When the clone troopers under Yoda's command betrayed him and turned on the Jedi, Tarfful nonetheless remained loyal to the Jedi. Tarfful and his friend Chewbacca assisted Yoda in his escape from the clone ambush, and led him to a secret escape pod that allowed Yoda to flee Kashyyyk.
