Of all the things that Max didn't like about the situation that was unfolding in the Galaxy with the Sith, he would have to say that one thing that really irked him was how it seemed to takeover. How it became the single biggest issue facing the Galaxy (which it arguably was) and that meant it was the main focus to the detriment of all other issues. Some issues were basically non-issues - First Galaxy Problems etc - but some of them needed their own spotlight and a focus on them that did not waiver because something else had cropped up.
The slavery of Wookiees was something that had been ongoing for centuries. Slavery was illegal since the days of the old republic but it had hardly stemmed the tide of Wookiees finding themselves in bondage. Sometimes it was dressed up as indentured servitude and sometimes it was simply a hunting party of the Wookiees' Trandoshan enemies selling some of their captured foes on. It came as a consequence of a successful Trandoshan hunt and it could be argued that it was better than the Wookiee captives being skinned alive.
Sometimes it was worse however.
Sometimes people were out to advance themselves for profit alone and they didn't care how they received that profit. Hidden on an island on Kashyyyk, Max could see one such example of this naked, destructive, greed set out before him. A slaver's encampment, clearly illegal and clearly being run by some organized pirates. Nestled atop one of the large, sturdy, branches of one of the local trees, Max watched for activity as his latest ally arrived.
He had called back to the Temple to keep them appraised of his investigation on Kashyyyk and for this particular part of his mission they had not failed to see the potential risk and had dispatched a second knight to aid him rather than a padawan.
