Yes, Chewbacca, Let the Wookiee Win may include and use command cards that require Chewbacca.

As stated under Building a Command Hand in the Core Rulebook: 

Quote

Some Command Cards require certain units. The required unit must be in a player’s army for these Command Cards to be included in a command hand.

Yes, "Chewbacca, Let the Wookiee Win" still has the unit name "Chewbacca," and if included in your army Chewbacca's command cards are eligible to be included in your command hand.

Furthermore, as stated under Nominate Commanders and Issue Orders in the Core Rulebook:

Quote

If the played Command Card corresponds to a specific unit, that unit must be nominated as the commander. Otherwise, players may nominate any one <Commander> unit to be their commander.

Yes, Chewbacca, Let the Wookiee Win may be the nominated commander for command cards specific to Chewbacca.

Hope this helps,
