Looks like there's another Wookie in there-perhaps this'll deal somewhat with Han freeing Chewbacca and other Wookies from the Empire. Maybe they're even Chewbacca's family (who are still canon, even if the Holiday special isn't).
Chewie's age also sort of seems to suggest a timeline placement, although not stated in the films, Chewie's about 200 in the OT, so I think it's likely that this film is set a decade before.
