Another great tribute to our lost Star Wars actors, this time from @onesix_shooter who also had some great things to say about our childhood heroes 😔 OG caption-> #Repost #starwarstimeshow ・・・ This was a shot I took about three years ago. At that time all four of the people who played these parts were still with us. It's hard to watch the hero's you grew up with pass on. Because of your connection with them, yes, but also because of the connection with your childhood and the realization that all our times are coming. As with Anthony Daniel's portrayal of C-3PO, Chewbacca would not have been the same – and may not have worked as well – without Peter Mayhew's movement and the expressions he brought to the part. Chewie was modeled after Lucas' dog and the character was truly what every kid wanted for a best-friend. I'm glad I got to briefly meet the man a couple years ago. He will always be Chewie. RIP. —————————- #petermayhew #スターウォーズ #chewbacca #rippetermayhew #starwars #스타 워즈

This week was very tough for Star Wars fans as we learned of Peter Mayhew’s passing. His portrayal of Chewbacca changed the way alien and non-verbal characters could be portrayed in film, and his love for the fandom has been well known for many years. He will be sorely misssed by all Star Wars fans around the world. Rest in Peace, Peter, and may the force be with you, always.
