Na continuidade da agora-Legends EU, Chewbacca estava constantemente mexendo com sua bowcasters . Isso mesmo - bowcasters, como no plural. Ele possuía vários e gostava de atualizá-los e personalizá-los. Tanto a esposa de Han e Chewie Mala comentam sobre esse passatempo durante seu funeral em Kashyyyk . Aqui está um trecho da novela Nova Ordem Jedi Agentes do Caos I - Avaliação do Herói :
Han's brows knitted. He set the box down on the stool and unlatched its finely wrought metal clasp. Inside, snug in a bed of cushioning material was a beautifully carved bowcaster, its marked and blemished skeleton stock polished to a deep brown gleam. An artfully disguised magnetic accelerator, the weapon propelled explosive quarrels at extremely high speeds. This one was equipped with a sighting scope and a recocking mechanism few human hands would be capable of operating.
"I recognize this," Han said, nodding. He compressed his lips to trap a moan fighting to escape him. "It's one of the first I ever saw him make."
Malla hooted. [Chewbacca fashioned it shortly after we married - while you were here. He fashioned better versions in his time, but this one retains the warmth and power of him.]
Se este detalhe foi transferido para a nova continuidade, então é totalmente possível que Han nunca tenha usado este apresentador em particular.
