He was probably dreading 'celebrating' another May 4th and decided to just call it early.

Jeez I hope they don’t make a CGI model of him and use that instead of just hiring a similar looking actor.

RIP

He stepped down from the role after Force Awakens. He mentored the guy during who took over during the filming of Solo and Last Jedi. The guy was also a body double in Force Awakens.

Ah, didn't know that, but I was joking, since he wears a fun-fur suit.

RIP. It isn't to surprising, he hasn't looked all that well these last few years.

Back to the primordial soup of the universe and if you really think about it being dead or alive is alike.

If it was up to me, sure, but since my brain created my personality to prevent me from seeing the futility you're talking about and concentrate on the fertility instead, it somehow became hard to let go... what was that saying again? There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so and because I think, therefore I am, the vicious cycle is complete.

You’ve got a touch of the Mayhew’s about you Sage. Maybe you could be the next Chewie?

I used to play basketball against one of the prequel Wookie actors.

The trash talk was hilarious.

RIP OG Chewie!

C'mon Aaron, you could write a book about any human life out there, with all its experiences, thoughts, nuances... it's only human that one tends to summarize it for others. If you get another chapter to read, it doesn't mean it wasn't there from the beginning, it's yet another chapter from the very same book. Thank you for your concern, though, hope you're doing fine, too.

Super sad. Chewy was always one of my favorites.
