Very, very sad

RIP Peter, you had a big part in my childhood.

would have loved to have met him. Mark Hamill described him as a gentle giant - and what everything I read and seen that’s what he was. RIP Chewie

"Peter Mayhew was a kind and gentle man, possessed of great dignity and noble character," said the actor. "These aspects of his own personality, plus his wit and grace, he brought to Chewbacca. We were partners in film and friends in life for over 30 years and I loved him. He invested his soul in the character and brought great pleasure to the Star Wars audience."
