3:37 ... Really Grunge ? I think you could have generated a little more content than that. It just seems half hearted and he is deserving of more than that.
When I was 8, I wrote Carrie Fisher and asked for a picture. Someone at the studio sent me one and whoever signed it wrote “Let the Wookie win!” Loved Chewie and Peter was a top notch human.
Met Peter Mayhew at a convention once. I put my hand against his. My fingertips reached the base of his fingers. He was a gentle quiet man and he was really cool. You are missed sir.
I'm so pleased that I met the actor at a sci-fi expo in Plano, TX back in 1997. I had him autograph my action figures, poster, photo and a book, plus a photo of him. I saw him several times over the years. When I heard he passed away, my heart sunk. I will always remember Peter Mayhew as Chewbacca. I also heard how he got the part. He said, " I was sitting in one of the sofas in the casting rooms, and when George Lucas and Gary Kurtz entered the room, I stood up. George and Gary looked up and said, 'Hmm', George turned to Gary and said, 'I think we found him'".
Unlike most stars I never heard or read a single bad or mean thing about Peter. In fact it was always the opposite.....nicest guy....most charitable....all around nice. If only the world could be like that.
I lived in very close to Boyd Tx, I'm a neighboring city called Azle Tx to be exact. I bumped into a few times at the grocery store, I had already known who he was from meeting him at a convention. He was generally a great person, would walk and talk, and grab groceries. Loved having some short talks with him, I guess you could say that we were "friends" because he'd spot or I'd spot him and we'd greet each other. Hated hearing that he had passed.
Peter just looked like that cool record store owner you could talk to for hours. RIP to a big part of my childhood and life in general lol truly thank u Mr. Mayhew
Peter is a legend. The amount of time he put into creating Chewie. Then taking his time into training Joonas. Peter, you are and will be missed greatly.
Great vid, the role of chewie &/or vader was initially offered to David Prowse who chose vader as he said "he didn't fancy three years in a monkey costume" hence mayhew became chewbacca
I guess of the Star Wars actors who have passed away now Peter Mayhew and Carrie Fisher are the ones we all miss the most . Kenny Baker probably fits that bill too.
I wonder if Peter had the same medical "problem" as Joey Ramone and Abe Lincoln?! He was great. I was 7 when I saw Star Wars - been a part of my life ever since. Sadly missed.
A few obits mentioned that Mayhew had Marfan's Syndrome, which some historians think Lincoln had. One of the symptoms was enlarged limbs, and Mayhew was first noticed for having the largest feet in Britain.
When the guy who played the Wookie General on Kashyyyk was getting into his costume for the first time, he said "How do i play a Wookie?" And was told, "Just Watch Peter!" 🤔
I asked Peter a couple years back on a reddit AMA how Chewie took a dump. A- like a dog, pacing around in a circle and then squatting down to drop a deuce. Or B- grabbing a pipe and reading a paper-- he responded "pipe and paper". By the by, he was extremely active on Reddit and Twitter, occasionally making surprise comments out of nowhere. He was also at Celebrations 2019 mere days before his death.
There was once an orange cat who ate a Tesseract and his name used to be Chewy... That Chewy was a bit smaller though. I would love to hear more outtakes with Chewbacca talking normally... I'll bet they're a trip. May Mr. Mayhew also sleep well and dream of large women.
Peter did play chewbacca in the last jedi but mostly the scenes where he's sitting because by that time he was in a wheelchair unfortunately that was the last time he played him
Sorry my hero is the only Chewbacca. He's been my hero for ten years and now hes gone, I WANT MY HERO BACK people don't understand how much I love Peter but hes my world... my everything. I remeber when I saw marks post on instagram, i was calling my best friend at the time and once I saw it i remeber saying "no no, oh my god I'm gonna cry" and then hung up and cried for the rest of the night. I've been crying every night for a year now because I want him back. I need him. I know he had health issues and I know hes taking care of my princess I just can't help but think that I want him here. correction I NEED him here. Im never gonna get over his death I just can't. It feels like a fresh wound that won't heal. I need my hero. Hes in a galaxy far far away and im not ready for that.

Eternity will not be about any of us or what we have done. It will all be about Jesus Christ who died on a cross to save us from our sins.

RIP to the legend who brought us Chewbacca.
3:37 ... Really Grunge ?
I think you could have generated a little more content than that. It just seems half hearted and he is deserving of more than that.
Yep
Now he's resting with han..
My favorite Star Wars character
Jevan Christian you mean Leia. Han is still around
RIP you big awesome fuzzball. True legend and gentleman.
When I was 8, I wrote Carrie Fisher and asked for a picture. Someone at the studio sent me one and whoever signed it wrote “Let the Wookie win!” Loved Chewie and Peter was a top notch human.
Bless him - comes across as a great bloke who genuinely loves the character. RIP
RIP Mr. Mayhew.
Chewie can now watch over Princess Leia.
May the force be with you. Thank you for everything you’ve done.
Going to miss that big walking carpet.
Dion Barnabe me too & he was such a Gentle Giant
Met Peter Mayhew at a convention once. I put my hand against his. My fingertips reached the base of his fingers. He was a gentle quiet man and he was really cool. You are missed sir.
I found both him and Baker sour....met them twice , seems Mayhew started to be more and more cranky around 2005
So true. They say he didnt want to hurt anyone
That’s a trip I never knew that Chewbacca actually spoke English during the scenes so Han Solo could understand him. Such an amazing Movie.
I'm so pleased that I met the actor at a sci-fi expo in Plano, TX back in 1997. I had him autograph my action figures, poster, photo and a book, plus a photo of him. I saw him several times over the years. When I heard he passed away, my heart sunk. I will always remember Peter Mayhew as Chewbacca. I also heard how he got the part.

Goodbye Chewie, we will always love you
youre resting with Han now
Leia.
Aw...that's nice
Ooooooo, your beautiful heart.
@@noahprestonediting6966 han is alive
I love how he actually just said “That old man’s mad,” rest in piece Peter Mayhew, your legacy will live on.
Nelson Robert Willis i actually know the other actor who played Vader personally
Unlike most stars I never heard or read a single bad or mean thing about Peter. In fact it was always the opposite.....nicest guy....most charitable....all around nice. If only the world could be like that.
Him and Harrison Ford got on really well together, which is strange considering how grumpy Ford is.
Daehawk i know someone personally who knew Chewie personally
I lived in very close to Boyd Tx, I'm a neighboring city called Azle Tx to be exact. I bumped into a few times at the grocery store, I had already known who he was from meeting him at a convention.

This brought a tear to my eye.
Cheers to Mr. Mayhew ‘s performance of Chewbacca, from whom I first discovered the importance and value of loyalty.
Chewy, we're home😢😢😩
My favourite Star Wars character always. RIP, Peter.
I must admit just seeing the picture of Chewbacca scared me as a kid, but now I love the character. God rest his soul.
R.I.P Peter Mayhew. You're gone, but not forgotten. We all love you.
RIP to the real chewy! Star Wars a true masterpiece! It will be hard to imagine him not being in that suit ever again!!
Thank you for this video
Peter just looked like that cool record store owner you could talk to for hours. RIP to a big part of my childhood and life in general lol truly thank u Mr. Mayhew
A giant with a giant heart.
Met Peter twice. Very cool dude!!! RIP
Johnny Beane he was so cool. Wish I could have met him
Whoa! There’s recorded footage of Chewbacca speaking English in all his lines!? I gotta look that up!
RIP Peter Mayhew... 😑
Very good tribute! And introduction to the newie Chewie!
In Loving Memory Of
Peter William Mayhew
(5/19/1944-4/30/2019)
Rest in peace
Had the great honor of meeting him not once but three times amd it was so much fun
Met him twice , both him and Kenny Baker were sour pusses (why do cons if they dont even want to meet fans in the first place ?)
Seems like STAR WARS is dying all round us ,,, bye PETER and love to your family
Who else loves Chewbacca
This guy
David Ogundipe i do. He was & still is my all time favorite Star Wars Character
I never thought Chewie was actually speaking English underneath those growls and cries . That's a very new bit of trivia for me.
RIP PETER CHEEWIE MAYHEW YOURE NOW ONE WITH THE FORCE THANKS FOR ALL THE MEMORIES
Lots of folks are missing the work of the Mayhew Foundation. It’s a thing, google it.
You missed the mark. Lucas never selected Prowse for Vader. Prowse was given the choice of Chewbacca or Vader. Prowse made his own choice.
Ive never been afraid of you, Chewy, just wanna give you a big hug.
Peter is a legend. The amount of time he put into creating Chewie. Then taking his time into training Joonas. Peter, you are and will be missed greatly.
Great vid, the role of chewie &/or vader was initially offered to David Prowse who chose vader as he said "he didn't fancy three years in a monkey costume" hence mayhew became chewbacca
I wanna cry.
I got to meet him in real Life 😭 when I was a kid
The greatest lesson we learned from Peter Mayhew: Let the Wookiee win. We will miss you, Big Man....
Sad loss. Big, but gentle guy who never wanted to hurt anyone
I met him a few years ago he was a gentle giant. He will be missed .
Fat Canadian Gamer Dad indeed he was
I never understood why we never had subtitles for Chewbacca. We had them for Jabba the Hutt, Greedo, and others but not Chewbacca. Why?
Only Han can understand him
He will be missed. There can be only one Chewbacca, and Peter is it.
I guess of the Star Wars actors who have passed away now Peter Mayhew and Carrie Fisher are the ones we all miss the most . Kenny Baker probably fits that bill too.
"that old man's mad" xDDDD
May the force be with you Peter.
Sad this hurts thank you for honoring him
Thank you, Peter
may he rest in peace and long live his memory and Chewy
Iv never seen a single film of star wars but I have enjoyed the parodies. R.I.P Big Guy
I wonder if Peter had the same medical "problem" as Joey Ramone and Abe Lincoln?! He was great. I was 7 when I saw Star Wars - been a part of my life ever since. Sadly missed.

Thank you so much Peter.😰
Happy Birthday Peter
RIP CHEWIE
Great man
was so so sad to hear of Peter Mayhews death he was a true gent sadly missed
Sad to see him gone glad he left such a cool legacy
@1.08 names David prowse as darth vader, while showing a video of the stunt Co ordinator who did some darth vader fight scenes...
Are you sure? Looks like Dave Prowse to me.
May the force be with you.......
Joonas suotamo did a good job stepping in as chewie for the scenes Mayhew couldn’t do
I think this world has lost a true legend and the man who made the legend of chewie happen. May Peter live on!
Chewie, you're truly home
RIP Chewie.. you will be missed.. hopefully u can be at peace,and not be stuck with an eternity of the Holiday Special 😒
There was once an orange cat who ate a Tesseract and his name used to be Chewy... That Chewy was a bit smaller though. I would love to hear more outtakes with Chewbacca talking normally... I'll bet they're a trip. May Mr. Mayhew also sleep well and dream of large women.

Legend
We miss you Peter!
Few ppl could've done it, noone did it like he did, not easy getting older, things don't work as well but he did it great till the end.
Loved chewie one of the best in star wars
At least Chewie finally got his medal !
Will miss you Chewy
Best character in star wars
RIP Peter you will always be a legend for making Chewie your own Say hi to Carrie Fisher for me while in heavens
May The Force Be With You Peter. RIP.
Grunge Squad!!!
I met him before he died he was cool it was in 2014 when he went to Pensacola's comic conventions
RIP Peter!
My Grandpa said we are related! James A Mayhew from Scottsville Ky?!
♥️ CHEWY
Why do they dislike the original character actor or Darth Vader so much? That bodybuilder guy.
we'll miss you!
The one and only Wookie ever existed
R.I.P Mr. Chewbacca😢✌
I bet Peter Mayhew said to David Prowse; Hey shorty.
He's been known to pull people's arms outta their sockets when he loses.
I have a feeling he is with Carrie Fisher in the forcs
If there's an afterlife. There's will be one truly special. Force ghosts anyone?
Yeah, that would be fitting.

R.I.P. you fuzz ball. Take care of the princess for me.
Rest in peace Chewy
Thank you for all the good memories Peter Mayhew, R.I.P. and May the force be with you
The Princess, you have to look after her. You hear me?
Rest in peace
Mayhew's biggest contribution to the massive Star Wars fandom, was his heart.
Sadly the british cast members were under rated ,,,They just couldnt do that camp thing ,,,
