In the german translation, C-3PO is saying "Lando Calrissian and poor Chewbacca never got out of this palace (“Lando Calrissian und der arme Chewbacca sind aus dieser Burg nie wieder herausgekommen.”)
Translations aren’t always accurate.
I’ve watched enough bad English dubs of Godzilla movies to know that 😄
Yes I know, I just wanted to point out that in the german context, showing Chewbacca in the prison scene first would make sense.
