RIP Peter Mayhew (1944-2019) We say goodbye to a fan legend. Mayhew played Chewbacca in five Star Wars films—the original trilogy (Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi), Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: The Force Awakens. He played the role in the 1978 television film Star Wars Holiday Special and in a 1980 appearance on The Muppet Show. He also recorded dialogue for the Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season 3 finale episode "Wookiee Hunt". My handler knew him personally and you will be hard pressed to find a more gracious and kind human being.
