Jaum and the sharpshooter leave the collapsed mine in a landspeeder. Chewbacca is holding up a portion of the mine using a horizontal beam and Zarro and her dad help by bracing the beam. As they start to leave the mine, Zarro's dad says the beetles will return to the mine without the power and they should be cautious where they walk because the beetle are poisonous. Just then, a swarm of beetle appear and Chewbacca shoots another horizontal beam, collapsing the mine on the beetles and blocking their escape through the mine's entrance. They meet up with other workers who are devising a plan of escape. Chewbacca decides to climb out through one of the air vents and is able to pull the other survivors out of the mine.
Zarro and Chewbacca, wanting to stop Jaum, go to the spaceport to meet one of Zarro's friends, Sevox. Sevox is a blind tinkerer who uses a robot I-7 to see. Chewbacca looks at all the droid parts Sevox has collected and has a plan. Meanwhile, one of the surviving workers is caught and brought before Jaum. Jaum asks how he escaped and the worker tells him it was the Wookiee. Jaum kills the worker and contacts his Imperial liason, Commander Kai, for assistance.
The only cover for Star Wars: Chewbacca #3 shows Zarro and Chewbacca side by side with a visage of Jaum in the background.
Star Wars: Chewbacca #3a - Marvel Comics, U.S. (November 2015)
The story continues to move at an extremely slow pace. Eight of the nineteen pages of this story deal with Chewbacca climbing up the air vent and pulling the survivors to freedom. There is suppose to be some suspense during his climb when the shovel he is using breaks, but the sequence is hard to follow and in the end, his climb should have been told on a single page. Between the padding of the story and Zarro's constant narration, this is a tedious mini-series to read.
