The family of Peter Mayhew, with deep love and sadness, regrets to share the news that Peter has passed away. He left us the evening of April 30, 2019 with his family by his side in his North Texas home.

He seemed like such a good guy and was really the personality of Chewie. Its funny that they had an interview with him in the latest Star Wars Insider magazine.
He managed to go a long way with one role, but he had been suffering from declining health for a long time.
RIP

New Hope was on tonight and being May the 4th, I sat down and watched it while doing my laundry and I kind of got a little choked up watching Carrie and Peter and even Kenny Baker in the R2D2.
Peter was so good under that makeup, you quickly forget that its a dude in a dog suit.
Carrie was so beautiful and snarky and compassionate in that role.
RIP to Peter and Carrie and Kenny.
