Man, that sucks.

I had just posted about this on FB. this really hurts, even more than Carrie, or Kenny Baker, this one hurts. Everything I ever read about Peter was how kind and generous he was and how much he loved his fans. RIP Peter!

This flat out sucks. Rest in peace, Mr.Mayhew.

I know he had a lot of health problems and suffered a great deal from them, but it's still very sad to hear. He seemed like a genuinely nice person. He brought a lot of joy to millions of people.

RIP.

Never actually met the man but i turned a corner once and he was staring at me, I smiled and nodded and he did the same. It's the little things sometimes, seemed like a kind soul and obviously, I adored his work.

So sad. R.I.P.

I heard Chewbacca's voice was actually a bear cub's growls

Was wondering if he ever used his own voice to make the sounds in any of the movies ?

RIP

Devastating news. Another of the Fab Four.

Yoda said it best....

Sad news indeed. He imbued the character of Chewie with vibrant, dynamic life. R.I.P.
