Anyone else ever wondered why Vader saves Chewies life?
As Han is getting frozen, Chewie kicks off, Boba is about to blast him, Vader pushes Bobas gun away. Considering Chewie is of no use to Vader, and Vaders fondness of choking even his own buddies, I always wondered why he spares the wookiee. Maybe under that dark exterior he's an animal lover.
I think the answer to the question is very simple.
If you shoot the Wookie, you will just make him mad.
