Rest In Peace to the legendary Peter Mayhew (May 19th, 1944 to April 30th 2019).

His performance as Chewbacca is one of the most iconic characters in all storytelling.

May the force be with you.

He just missed the 4th. I say we move up the calendar just for him. 😢

For Episode IV, star wars was the first sci-fi movie that had non-telepath characters that did not speak English, or anything near it (Greedo/Chewbacca/that bar bully)

Chewbacca made Han Solo complete, RIP Mister Mayhew

RIP

At least they didn’t drop a Moon on you this time...

RIP

...but a moon would have been kinder than seeing your partner impaled by his son and then forced to be partner with Mary Sue...

I was referring to being surrounded by family, at home.

Sad news, another iconic character and actor leaves us, # r i p # may the force be with you

A great actor and great man has left us, but he will live forever with his movies and his Mayhew foundation.

He was super fantastic to meet a few years back at a convention, and was super nice.

It's a real loss, but thankfully we'll have his great performances to remember him by.

RIP Perter Mayhew

Sad to hear him gone,

For me, I enjoyed his performance at the Empire the most,

RIP Chewie 😢
