My understanding was that Chewie was bound to Han with a 'life-debt' for Han having freed him from slavery.
In Episode VII,
Han is slain. Does this mean that all obligations arising from the life-debt are canceled?
Answer
In Disney Canon, the answer is unknown. As a matter of fact, I don't recall explicit acknowledgement of the life debt existing in Disney canon in the first place before today.
However, please note that the concept of life debt DOES exist in New Disney canon, since a 2nd Aftermath novel (planned for 2017) butchered by Chuck Wendig will be called "Aftermath: Life Debt")
In Legends/EU canon, Chewie makes it clear that life debt to Han extends to Leia and their (non-Disney-canon) children even while Han is alive (e.g. Thrawn books, when he protects first Leia against Nohgri, then their kids).
