The word is that it will take place around the time that Han befriends Chewie.
Also, remember that although Disney / Lucas Film very wisely removed all the old Expanded Universe stuff from official canon, they have stated on many occasions that they are free to cherry pick aspects and story elements they like and work those into the movies. They simply are not locked into it ALL, which is a very good thing!

The original story was Chewie being freed from Slavery by Han if I recall correctly. Chewie also owed Han a Life Debt if memory serves correct.
With how Disney is doing things these days, instead Han will be on a desert planet, find a droid and blast off with someone in the Millenium Falcon, then have to go on some super base to free Chewie.
Yeah...I don't have high hopes for Disney SW films these days after the regurgitation of TFA.
If it turns out decent, maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised though.
