R.I.P. Chewbacca... Peter Mayhew

[Stoner4Life]

Peter William Mayhew was an English-American actor, best known for portraying Chewbacca in the Star Wars film series. He played the character in all of his live-action appearances from the 1977 original to 2015's The Force Awakens before his retirement from the role.

Bummer, he brought so many good laughs to me & millions of others over the years. Sort of odd, knowing him only as 'Chewbacca' over such a long period of time.......
