A Direct Hit critical never counts as more than 1 damage card, it just count's as 2 damage. It never requires you to deal yourself another card, so even if you flipped it over via a different abiilty on a different pilot, it would simply go from counting as 2 damage to 1 damage against your ship. There IS a critical that requires that you draw another damage card, but that's a different story.

But with Chewbacca, it's easier to just remember that he basically prevents that Direct Hit from ever being a Direct Hit. You are dealt a faceup damage card that SAYS it is a Direct Hit, but you flip it over before it gets to BE a Direct Hit. The only way Chewie can suffer critical effects is when other abilities flip a damage card faceup that was already dealt to hit (like Saboteur).
