^Yes, that's right. The Wookiee Jedi you're referring to is Gungi. Wookiee Jedi are indeed quite rare in Star Wars. In one episode of TCW where Gungi appears, they mention how rare it is for someone of his kind to be a Jedi.
Wookiee Jedi have become iconic in the Star Wars franchise, with six named in Legends and four in canon. Lowbacca, Chewbacca's nephew, is a famous Wookiee Jedi known for his unique lightsaber and translator droid.
Although a rare phenomenon, Force-sensitive Wookiees were possible, and some joined the ranks of the Jedi, becoming a source of great pride for their people. Such Wookiees included the Jedi Master Arkoff, Jedi Knight Burryaga Agaburry, and the youngling Gungi.
While Gungi is certainly the most well-known Wookiee Jedi because of his appearances in both The Bad Batch and 2008's Star Wars the Clone Wars, there are still a plethora of other amazing Wookiee Jedis who have come before him.
In one of the rarely trodden paths of Star Wars canon that has now become "Star Wars Legends," there was once an Ewok who was force-sensitive and wielded a lightsaber of their own, though much of their origins remain a mystery to the galaxy and fans of the diminutive and seemingly cuddly warriors.
Chewbacca's age remains the guideline, but since he's in his prime during all of his appearances, the species' average lifespan is a little trickier to determine. The 2015 canon reference book Star Wars: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know pegs their average life at approximately 400 years.
Literally and figuratively. He's around the same height as Chewbacca but a bit heavier set (Chewbacca being 2.3 meters/7'6.5”). We have seen in Star Wars Rebels and The Force awakens that Wookiees can take a blaster bolt and keep going, though few if any of them could survive as many injuries as Krrsantan.
Chewbacca (/tʃuːˈbɑːkə/ choo-BAH-kə), nicknamed "Chewie", is a character in the Star Wars franchise created by George Lucas. He is a Wookiee—a tall, hairy, highly intelligent species originating from the fictional planet Kashyyyk.
Despite appearing in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith as a member of the Jedi Council, Coleman Kcaj is one of Star Wars' most obscure Jedi. Very little has been revealed about this Ongree Jedi Master, though he appears as a background Council member in several scenes of The Clone Wars.
Akial was a Jawa male who was a member of the Jedi Order during the years of the Galactic Republic. He trained at the Almas Academy, a Jedi academy that was located on the planet Almas, where he specialized as a Jedi Consular.
A male Wookiee Mandalorian was the Huntmaster of the third Great Hunt during the Cold War, a time of heated tension between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire. He won the third hunt, which happened during the Great Galactic War.
Chewbacca and the Ewoks are two entirely separate and distinct species in the Star Wars universe, created by George Lucas. Chewbacca, known as a Wookiee, is a tall, furry, and strong species from the planet Kashyyyk.
Known survivors. It was said that fewer than one hundred Jedi—approximately one percent of the entire Order—survived Order 66. However, the number seemed closer to two hundred.
It seems that the Wookiee in question is none other than Black Krrsantan, an ex-gladiator (hence Boba's jibe) who was cast out by his people and later became one of the most ruthless, vicious bounty hunters out there.
Language. The Jedi Master Yoda was the best-known member of a species whose true name is not recorded. Known in some sources simply as Yoda's species, this species of small carnivorous humanoids produced several well-known members of the Jedi Order during the time of the Galactic Republic.
As Wookiees had good relations with Yoda, they welcomed the Jedi Master and clone troopers to Kashyyyk, their homeworld. During one of the Clone Wars' final battles, Chewbacca fought against Separatist droids alongside Republic forces -- until the execution of Order 66.
And that's why mere minutes later a character literally says "he must have been on another transport." It's storytelling at its laziest. Later in the film, it's clearly established that Rey can feel Chewbacca's presence on a ship from far away, and she learns that he's still alive.
Summary. Jar Jar Binks's clumsiness may not be genuine, but rather an act to disguise his true nature as a Sith Lord infiltrating the Republic. Palpatine carefully orchestrated events to manipulate the galaxy, and Jar Jar's involvement suggests he may have been the eyes and ears on Naboo.
