@@salvagemonster3612 triggered much? When this man was discovered he was an orderly at a Yorkshire hospital in England so who's to say that he didn't save a bunch of children's lives. Moreover I'm kind of offended that you said black babies and not just babies or children in general me being a black man I took kind of offense to that. And to respond to him not inventing anything actually he did he invented a performance of a dog that to that point had never been done by a human before. Where are your accolades?
Peter is the kindest man. He was so amazing to my 5 year old son! He called us over to him and let me take pictures with my boy while he held his hand next to my boy. His hand was the size of half of my son and my boy is not small! Peter is so talented and truly a legend. I was so glad my boy can tell his kids later in life that he was held by an icon!
I think it was originally a cockney accent as he's from London, but the American influence makes his R's rhotic and thus sounds like a west country farmer. Definitely not posh anyway! :)
This sux another SW legend gone. Thanks for years of memories of Chewie. Met him multiple times and always a kind caring guy. Love you man gonna miss you. RIP
I can sympathize with him, about 15 years ago I was the smallest guy in my high school class as a freshman, a few years later was by far the tallest. Puberty can do strange things.
He is except sometimes he can be grumpy. I've read of a few fans that had a bad experience with him. Otherwise he's usually pretty laid back, one person said he's nicer to deal with than Harrison Ford.
You see him? That’s MY hero a sweet loving man who cares about everyone. Who lights up a room whenever he walks in. I want him back. I wanna be with him but I’m staying here and not doing self harm. I’m fighting to make him proud. He deserves the world and nothing less. I’ve been a fan for ten years💔
Peter's accent is so delightfully strange; that weird, slightly incomprehensible, indecipherable transatlantic accent of a previously British, American cadence. I guess that's what happens when a posh, well spoken Surrey-man moves to Texas.
Thank you so much! I live in Baltimore MD so I don't really think he'll be coming here, not any time soon at least. He did come to the Comicon here in Baltimore back in 2014, even though there wasn't anything about Star Wars. How was he when you met him, friendly or kind of out of it (like he didn't really want to be there)? I'd be afraid to approach him, or any famous person for that matter. :(
+Dark Symphony Even if there hadn't been the Chewbacca part for him to play, he still would've needed the surgery anyway. Both his knees were so bad he could hardly walk. :(
A shame he didn't do more voice acting while he was still alive, because he had a really good voice for it. He got to voice Susha in Dragon Ball GT: A Hero's Legacy (He lived in Texas, where Funimation was headquartered), though I think he could've done a few more anime roles.
from rebelscum : "Sorry to be the Debbie Downer here, but have met him several times and he was horrid each time. Personally seen some appalling behaivour from him towards very young children" "Ive been to a few shows that Peter was also there but I refuse to go meet him due the stories I have heard. Maybe next time, ill give it a try" "When I met him at celebration last year he wasn't friendly at all. Maybe I caught him at a bad moment. Everyone else I met was great though! " Seems every celeb turns into a saint when they die , people will say the same about Chevy Chase one day , too. Met both Mayhew and Baker twice , both were sour pusses

He has such a gentle soul.

He Was A Gentle Giant In The True Sense Of The Phrase
RIP Peter Mayhew ❤😓 No one's ever really gone
So True. We'll Always Have his legendary Role So He'll ALWAYS Be With us. Rest In Peace Peter.
Darth Vader Thank you for such a beautiful comment. Blessings.
@Bahama Jackson Because His Memory And Legend Lives On.
this man deserves respect beyond measure.
Yes he did may he rest in peace
Ok ok calm down. He didn’t cure polio or save 13 black babies from a burning tenement or even invent something great. He played a tall dog.

1:30 Peter’s accent went from British on one word to a almost southern drawl on the next. What an amazing character, as well as an legendary actor.
RIP Peter Mayhew 😢 1944-2019
Very sad to learn of his passing. RIP Peter Mayhew.
Lol

WOW! What a nice story! I am so glad he made your sons day!!
since he's lived in america his voice has turned into a very interesting mix of a posh british accent and texan accent
It's not really 'posh' at all, he's got more of an English West Country 'farmer' accent :)

Yeah like from bristol area
R.I.P Mr Mayhew, I will never forget our chat at Adelaide Supanova.
Teddy bear that can rip your arms off if he isnt happy.. Badass Peter Mayhew :-) A great guy by the way.
This sux another SW legend gone. Thanks for years of memories of Chewie. Met him multiple times and always a kind caring guy. Love you man gonna miss you. RIP
Rest in peace sir, you made millions of people happy, we are all so thankful.
R.I.P Peter Mayhew 1944-2019
Oh god.. please no.. don’t tell me he’s gone.. god, why?? Why? No!
May the force be with you Chewie! 🌹 Thank you for everything you will be dearly miss. Protect the princess in the other side.
Me and my wife went to his burial site , Peter is truly Missed. He actually lived in Texas not too far from me, but was born in London 😢
Rest in peace to this beautiful human being rest in peace chewy
Rest In Piece Mr Mayhew. Thank you Chewie...

lol this is a darling video and Peter is so sweet

Such a pure soul, may he rest in peace. He will never be forgotten.
He looks like his character
You see him? That’s MY hero a sweet loving man who cares about everyone. Who lights up a room whenever he walks in. I want him back. I wanna be with him but I’m staying here and not doing self harm. I’m fighting to make him proud. He deserves the world and nothing less. I’ve been a fan for ten years💔
R.I.P. Peter Mayhew.
A true legend
love this guy!!
That black chick looks like she wants some chewie xD
Nope

hes almost gone cornish
Peter’s from South West London so he has an RP accent
RIP Peter Mayhew
Such a class act .......both Chewbacca and Peter lol.
I had a Wookie steak last night.
It was Chewie. May the farce be with you.
Wow lol
Who’s the sweetheart in the middle? She’s a babe 🥰🥰🥰
Ben Burt gave us his “voice “
Was watching return of the Jedi while watching this
Rest In Peace Peter. 💔
R.I.P. a great man

R.I.P 😢😢😢😢

+The Diabetic Gamer (Sigh) Did you get to hug or shake hands with him?
watchensee Hug!
Oh you lucky girl/guy...................... ;)
watchensee I'm a guy, just go to chewbacca.com and look at his schedule, and see if any of his events are near you!
Thank you so much! I live in Baltimore MD so I don't really think he'll be coming here, not any time soon at least.

He is Chewbacca even when he’s not Chewbacca 🤔🔥😉
Rest in Peace, Peter.
RIP
Rest in Peace
Rest easy...
Very cool post, thanks :)
Hahaha like your avatar of Kurt Russell; "Call me Snake!" :)
watchensee
The names, plissken! :)
I miss him
RIP Peter Mayhew 💖😢
RIP Peter Mayhew.
He is 7’2 inches high!!
I didn't really know who he was at the time, but I was very sad when he passed away.
He looks like the emperor lol
+DSREK7 The Emperor of what?
@@watchensee the emporer of star wars is what he meant
@@tylerwiggins6195 Oh ok thanks for answering my question. :)
Has anyone found the second half of this interview?
neat video
He is tall !
7'2
The first time I’ve ever heard a British country accent.
RIP :’(
Gentle giant.
RIP♥️😔
CHEWIE!!!
I LOVES Chewie!!!
Anybody else been trying to find footage of him actually doing the voice for chewbacca and can't seem to find anything at all?
yes me and my kids!😖😖😭
+kittyi me and my neighbours (i live next door to myself) dwarf pigeons have been having the same problem
because the voice is a mix of different animals so he did not create the voice for him
+froot I never knew that, good bit of trivia. I don't know how he managed to maneuver around in TFA.
+Dark Symphony Even if there hadn't been the Chewbacca part for him to play, he still would've needed the surgery anyway. Both his knees were so bad he could hardly walk. :(
Yeah he had definite American accent in his speech
R.I.P
Yeah... He IS Chewie. It's not the costume, it's the actor and his vibe.
He was 7'2"!!!
R.I.P :(
Peter had a very deep voice.
A shame he didn't do more voice acting while he was still alive, because he had a really good voice for it. He got to voice Susha in Dragon Ball GT: A Hero's Legacy (He lived in Texas, where Funimation was headquartered), though I think he could've done a few more anime roles.
R.I.P you will be missed (and we're going to forget about xxxtenacion)
Boy he sure has that Pompous British walk
Dammit
Could they let the man finish for god sakes? He’s your guest! Stop interrupting him
Do the roar
His hands are humongous
tall as FACK
chebaka
If I new who he was I was sooo close to meeting him
Rest In Peace I don’t really care about him though
Warsin dude, have some respect. Or don’t comment at all.
Short respect
Where's my comment from 2 months ago?
Peter was doing Brexit long before the others
from rebelscum : "Sorry to be the Debbie Downer here, but have met him
several times and he was horrid each time. Personally seen some
appalling behaivour from him towards very young children"
"Ive been to a few shows that Peter was also there but I refuse to go
meet him due the stories I have heard. Maybe next time, ill give it a
try"
"When I met him at celebration last year he wasn't friendly at all.
Maybe I caught him at a bad moment. Everyone else I met was great
though! "
Seems every celeb turns into a saint when they die , people will say the same about Chevy Chase one day , too. Met both Mayhew and Baker twice , both were sour pusses
