Just being reported that Peter Mayhew, the original Chewbacca, has died in Texas at the age of 74.
A reminder that we're all getting on a bit... |  | | |  |

RIP indeed. Although he had no lines, as such, he was a massive part of those early films.
I only recently discovered that he is distantly related to bungle from Rainbow. Both eschewed the need for clothing - although Bungle did use to wear pyjamas to bed for some reason. |  |

Not seen it yet - was tempted to wait until they're all out and then watch them all but then I'd have to avoid all media until that time so I'll probably watch them this weekend. The Andor trailer looks brilliant too.
Gotta ask though, why use this thread? Am I missing something? |  | | |

I didn’t want to start a new thread so searched ‘star wars’ and this came up | |

Some decades ago my flatmate went out with the original R2D2 actor's niece.
A pleasant, quiet sort of girl called Wendy with rubber-band dreads, who you could easily picture crouched inside R2D2, so to speak, if she'd ever needed to fill in for her uncle.
RIP Peter. |  | | |

I had a record called Chew Tobaccer Boogie when I was in my youth. I think it was by Tennessee Ernie Ford. |  | | |

He died April 30, 2019.
The news is however from a long time ago in a Galaxy far far away... [Post edited 27 May 2022 17:48]
