"Chewie wouldn't appreciate that," Han told her, keeping one eye on the rallying of robots at the end of the bridge. But he eased a pistol from Badure's belt in case the match didn't go as it should. Egome Fass had gotten a choke-hold on Chewbacca. Rather than squirm out of it or apply an in-fighting trick, the Wookiee chose to lock both hands on his opponent's arm and turn it into a contest of pure strength. Egome Fass was bulkier, Chewbacca more agile, but the question of brute force was still open. Their arms quivered and muscles jumped in the straining backs.

Bit by bit the arm was levered away from Chewbacca's throat. The Wookiee showed his fangs in savage triumph, and burst free of the hold. But Egome Fass wasn't done with tests of strength. He lunged at his antagonist for a -deadly hug. Chewbacca accepted it.

They staggered back and forth, first the Wookiee's feet leaving the bridge, then the enforcer's. Both applied their full brawn in fearsome constriction. Egome Fass's feet were lifted clear of the bridge and stayed that way as the Wookiee held him aloft, muscles standing out like cables under Chewbacca's pelt. The enforcer's struggle became more frantic, less aggressive. Panic crept into his movements. Then there was a crack, and Egome Fass's body slumped. Chewbacca let go, and the enforcer slid limply to the bridge's surface.

The Enforcer Egome gets into a fight with Chewie who overpowers him twice, the two grappling and Chewie crushing his body.

Abit Chewie wasn't at full strength here, as Egome had previously delivered 3 surprise blows from behind, 2 of which had been straight to the head.

Enforcers are generally noted for their physical prowess(the typical Enforcer can usually lift a ton, if not spell it.)

^ Enforcers can lift 1 ton and noted for physical prowess.

The two huge beings, snarling and hissing, rampaged across the room, knocking over tables and chairs. The other sabacc players and denizens of the bar scattered before the fray, screaming advice and curses in multiple languages.

The Sullustan sabacc player dropped his hand to his own blaster, but when he saw that Han was now armed, he turned and flung himself behind the bar.

Shallamar and Chewbacca swayed back and forth, locked in a grim parody of a loving embrace, each testing the other's strength, trying to get each other off balance. "Chewie, c'mon!" Han yelled. "Let's get outta here!"

Chewbacca and Shallamar whirled in a blur of brown fur and black scales, then Shallamar lowered her head and snapped at the Wookiee's arm. Her needle-sharp teeth sheared off a chunk of fur and meat. The Wookiee roared in agony and, with a burst of strength, grabbed the Barabel's arm and slung her around with dizzying speed, so fast that her feet slid out from under her. As she went down, Chewie also grabbed her tail, swinging her so hard she was airborne.

With a final howl of triumph, Chewbacca released his grip and sent the huge reptiloid flying across the room, while sentients scattered to avoid her trajectory. Shallamar landed on her back amid a ruin of chairs, tables, and sabacc cardchips.

Gets into a brawl with Shallamar, a Barabel(again noted for their physical strength) sending her to the floor and swinging her by her tail to toss her across the room

Han smiled smugly as he reached for the last of the card-chips. Seeing that smile, the Barabel roared again. One armored, sharptaloned hand came sweeping down in a mighty blow that smashed the table in two, sending board, credits, and card-chips flying. Snarling, she advanced on Han. "No!

I'm going to bite your head off, cheater! We'll see how good you are then!"

She previously smashed a table in two pieces.

Barabels are natural hunters who kill with strength and efficiency. They have black, armored hides that protect them from blaster bolts and basic melee weapons or bludgeons.

- Essential Guide to Alien Races

Having protective hides and kill with strength and efficiency.

They can also range from 1.9 meters to 2.3 meters in height, the average adult is 2 meters.

Believe Chewie's also fought Wampas too, gonna have to look into that one though but yeah.

Of course and also have the natural Wookiee accolades, such as tearing apart droids and ripping the ears off of Gundarks and being one of the strongest species known in the galaxy.
