Peter Mayhew, Chewbacca

[Spokavriel]

Not even a week ago Peter passed leaving this as the first may the 4th to pass without him. He even went through physical therapy so that he could still play the role of Chewbaca in the Disney Star Wars movies, Without having to have someone else who wouldn't move the same as him fill in on the part.

He is definitely missed and will be more so as Disney tries to learn the difference between selling an established franchise and expanding on an epic saga. Even if they don't achieve a movie to that end the fans will forever be drumming the difference into them.

At least Carrie has a cuddly defender with her again. And the performer for R2 is there too...

Indeed.
