- A Debug Trigger was added above Canyon Crossing in Update v35.10, which allowed players to spawn in an unrestricted amount of Chewbaccas that won't despawn. Even when one is replaced by another.
- This version of Chewbacca is from Chapter 5: Season 2 who still drops a Mythic Wookie Bowcaster and Ammunition, despite both being intended to be vaulted.
- In Update v35.20 Chewbacca was updated to now drop Shield Potions, Med Kits, Materials, Shield Bubble Jrs and a Mythic Wookie Bowcaster upon elimination.
