Sadly he lived just long enough to see Disney Rat and Kathleen Kennedy kill the STAR WARS franchise.

Heard him speak long ago. Seemed very nice. He sang the following lyrics set to the music notes of the Star Wars theme song:

“Star Wars,
Made me a millionnnnnnnn,
Paid off the mortgaaaaaaage,
Bought me a car.

I just watched 'The Force Awakens' and 'The Last Jedi' a couple of nights ago.

The former was considerably better than I expected it to be, and the latter was pretty much... meh...

I caught an elevator ride with him.

RIP.

He was a guest at a local comic book store a couple of years ago. I tried to get an autograph, but the line was wrapped around the block on a weekday in the summer.

All the really TALL guys in Star Wars got totally screwed over.

Both of them.

So he died just when Hollywood was finally beginning to be able to tell the true story of what was going on between Han and Chewy?

Sad.
