[Zach grins, rubbing his hands together. This is so great. Kesara has so many questions, and they're the right questions. Sure, it'll take them five years to get through the whole story - Zach's not going to bother telling her much about the prequels - but it's worth it. Her brain is so engaged in the story.]
Chewbacca! Chewbacca is Han's second in command slash copilot. He's a Wookie - they're aliens from this planet far far away. He's like, super furry, he looks like a giant cross between a bear and a dog, and he's super sassy even though he only speaks in grunts. Han understands him, though. He's like, 7 feet tall, and he wields a bowcaster, which is a cross between a crossbow and a blaster, it's real cool. He's badass.
[Cracking his knuckles, Zach goes on to tackle her second question.]
As for a garbage compactor - or trash compactor - it's basically a massive room in which all the ship's garbage gets thrown into, and then it compacts it all into little cubes that gets thrown into space. It's better than throwing everything as is and polluting the Galaxy too much, I guess?
And it's got like, these walls that compress everything, so they close in tiny tiny, so when the lot of them are thrown in there they're sure they're going to get compacted to death! But R2-D2 was hacking into the ship's systems, and he manages to turn it off before our three intrepid heroes get turned into tiny cubes.
And then they escape the garbage compactor! And they form a plan to escape the ship because Obi Wan managed to turn off the tractor beam that was forcing the Millenium Falcon to stay aboard, so they run over it.
That's when they see that Darth Vader is coming to them, and Obi Wan throws himself into a fight with him to give the rest of them time to fly away!
