A/N: okay, now I have no excuse for shortness except writer's block. I know what's going to happen, just not the order or how to explain it. Also, in a couple of days, I'm going to the San Juan Islands and won't be writing for a while. But I've still got a couple of days, so I'll just keep writing short, writers blocky stuff.

Chewbacca was waiting impatiently by the door when his package came. It had been nearly a month since the wedding, and this was the best thing he had gotten with all of his money.

"Here you go. Ummm, what did you want with this?"

None of your business.

"Right, you don't speak English. Ummm, I'll just leave it here, alright?"

Chewbacca waited until the man was gone to tear open the package. Leia always complained about him ripping things up, but this was no time to worry about that sort of thing.

When he got the package opened, he was extraordinarily disappointed. The little room was just that: little. Too little, in fact, for him to fit in. Great, now he was going to have to order some sort of shrinky thing to fit in…

A few days later, Chewbacca managed to find the shrinker, order it, and use it on himself. After several tries, he finally got to be normal human size, and fit into the not-so-little room.

He pushed the buttons on the walls, and set it for about thirty five years ago. This was a little off, but he knew that the weird machine thing would get it to any time within that decade that he wanted.

"Heading to the Mon Espa Podrace," said the pleasant computer's voice. Chewbacca ignored her and fidgeted excitedly.

When he appeared, he was sitting on top of a pod, apparently in a podrace. The man in it screamed, and bailed.

Thank you very much. I'll be sure to use this well.

Of course, the man just heard inane roaring, and screamed again. Chewbacca shrugged and took the controls.

He was lucky that that idiot Han had gotten stuck on Tatooine so many times, because that had given Chewbacca that many chances to practice his podracing skills. Although nobody would expect that from a Wookie, Chewy had become very good at podracing. Now, though, nobody on Tatooine would race against him, knowing that he would win, but this was over thirty years ago, so none of these people knew about it.

Turning the pod expertly, Chewbacca faced his opponent. Of course, all of the other racers thought he was insane and took a wide berth around him, but little Ani Skywalker knew that if he could get past this mad Wookie he'd have a few seconds advantage over the other racers. What he didn't expect was that the Wookie would wait until the last second and then ram him.

But that's exactly what the Wookie did. Ignoring the cries of dismay from Qui-Gon, Padmé, Jar Jar, Kitster or whatever his name was, Shmi, and all of Anakin's other friends, Chewbacca shook himself off and started towards the machine, which had remained inconspicuously out of the way.

"Thanks a ton," said a tall man with a Padawan's braid. With a start, Chewbacca realized that this must be young Obi-Wan. Now that's weird.

When Chewbacca returned to the time machine and typed in the date, he got an unusual surprise.

"I'm sorry. But the corresponding machine in the other time no longer exists. You can't go back. Loser!" the computer said.

Chewbacca started. He had killed Anakin before he could become Darth Vader, but also before he could become a father. Leia didn't exist, so Chewbacca hadn't married her and gotten her money, meaning he didn't have the time machine there.

But if Leia doesn't exist, did any of the story ever actually happen?
