Why this must be read:

Because Yoda really should have met Han Solo, if only to tell him he talks funny. This short piece set on Kashyyk during RotS shows that Han got off to a less than legal start early. It's a quiet, hush before the storm moment, without the impending doom of most fics set in this time.

Read this for a curious Yoda and an exasperated Chewbacca interrupting Han's attempt to take Yoda's ship apart.

He quickly regained his footing and started running off. Using the Force, Yoda could have caught up with him, but fortunately there was no need to. The boy was so preoccupied with what he was running from that he didn’t fully appreciate where he was going, and he ran headfirst into the broad chest of Chewbacca, a young wookiee Yoda knew.

Chewbacca said nothing, simply held out his paw.

”Aw, Chewie!” the boy protested, but he did hand over the blowtorch and, after a moment’s hesitation, the circuitry.

The wookiee still said nothing, and his paw didn’t move. The boy sighed and dug through his clothes, fishing out more spare parts than Yoda would have thought possible to hide on such a small body. He was impressed with how quickly the boy had deferred to Chewbacca, since he had seemed anything but subservient. Perhaps there was a thing or two the Jedi could learn from the wookiees when it came to dealing with younglings.
