Star Wars: A Forest Apart was originally a 2003 eBook written by Troy Denning as a supplement to his novel Tatooine Ghost and was later included in the paperback version of Tatooine Ghost published by Del Rey. The novel is set before Tatooine Ghost in the Star Wars timeline.

In the novel, Lumpawarrump heads to Coruscant to spend time with his father, Chewbacca. The story evolves around the Wookiee's adventures there and Chewbacca dealing with Lumpawarrump's disobedience. Lumpy is caught up in the theft of a datapad containing important information to the New Republic. The story also deals with Chewbacca's belief that his son is becoming the Wookiee equivalent of a teenager. However, Lumpy is trying to impress his father more than anything else.

Synopsis

While on Coruscant, Lumpawarrump catches a burglar stealing a datapad from Han and Leia Solo. Lumpawarrump then pursues the burglar into Coruscant's dangerous underlevels. Chewbacca follows his son and finds him fighting the burglars and eventually getting kidnapped. When Chewbacca found him again he finds the burglars carrying him into one of the secret detention centers Palpatine kept in the undercity. Chewbacca and Lumpawarrump learn that the burglars were attempting to assassinate the New Republic's leaders so Chewbacca comms Han to inform him of the plot. Chewbacca and Lumpawarrump invade the enemies' base to find an advanced IT-3 interrogation droid behind the plot. Chewbacca attacks and destroys the droid. In the end Lumpawarrump heads back to Kashyyyk after learning a lesson about listening to his parents.
