I can’t believe it’s not been said, so:

“May the Force be with you!”

His character helped make the only real “Star Wars” what it was.

Chewbacca never got a medal for the destruction of the Death Star.

Luke got a medal. Han got a meda. This smacks of anti-wookie racism.

Looks like Chewie had information that would lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton.

RIP Mr. Mayhew

Outside of the fact that 74 is, imo ... too young ... all people die.

Thanx for the memories, Chewy.

I heard an interview with him on the “I Was There Too” podcast. Had some great stories, but sounded like he had severe emphysema.

Would have been appropriate if he would have lasted 4 more days, to Star Wars day.
