Peter was the gentle giant who was always cheerful & ready to help! As a nursing sister of ICU in Mayday Hospital, I look forward to my shift when Peter was on duty! I could recognise him as Chewie by the way he walks! None of the new Chewie walks like him! I missed him dearly! RIP my friend , Peter!

I spoke with Peter the last time he appeared at ComicCon. He was polite and gracious, but he was in obvious pain when he needed to move. I was lucky enough to meet him and share a moment.

[ pebbles53 ], The original (the one and only) Chewie is my favourite Star Wars character, he will never, ever be replaced ❤❤

BlueEyedAlien, you really are so lucky to have met him, I wish I could have!

So jealous of all of you that met Chewie, I heard first hand from a friend ( who was inspired by him to become a porter) that said how great Peter Mayhew was his legacy lives on, my favourite quote from Star Wars is “Let The Wookie Win!”

BlueEyedAlien, why was he in pain?

The 6'6" metric conversion in the answer choice list should be 1.98 m (not 1.83 m).
