Just like the original man in the Godzilla suit recently died, but the movie character continues on.

Chewbacca hasn't died. The actor who played Chewbacca in STARWARS movies has died.

Rip Chewbacca.
Thanks for the entertainment, and fond memories.

The actor's name is not Chewbacca.

I didn’t know Chewbacca ever shaved - his whole body. I hope he had fun in the role.
Ganbare Japan!
Rip Chewbacca. He was by far the best actor/character in the Star Wars franchise, compared to boring one like Han Solo. It was amazing he was 221cm tall!!

Never known someone who was so famous but whoes face and name were so unknown to me.

The character Chewbacca isn't dead, so why would the character Chewbacca join his deceased pal Han Solo in the afterlife?

Han Solo may be 'dead' in one of the later STAR WARS flicks but he is now joined by his Wookiee pal in the afterlife, where stars always shine. STAR WARS: A NEW HOPE was the film we saw on my very first date. Now another door to part of my growing up years is shut forever.
RIP PETER MAYHEW
THE FORCE WILL BE WITH YOU, ALWAYS
Say hello to Sir Alec Guinness and Carrie Fisher for me.

Thank you, Peter Mayhew, for your excellent portrayal of such an endearing character. May the Force be with you.
