"Peter Mayhew was a kind and gentle man, possessed of great dignity and noble character," said the actor. "These aspects of his own personality, plus his wit and grace, he brought to Chewbacca. We were partners in film and friends in life for over 30 years and I loved him. He invested his soul in the character and brought great pleasure to the Star Wars audience."

I'm no expert in Shyriiwook, but...

RRRRRWWWWAAAAWWWWWWW!!!

- or something like that. May the Force of others be with you, Peter. He portrayed Chewie perfectly as a gentle giant...one you did not mess with.

"Let him have it, it's not wise to upset a Wookiee."

"But sir, nobody worries about upsetting a 'droid!"

"That's 'cause a 'droid don't pull people's arms outa their sockets when they lose. Wookiees are known to do that."

"I see your point, sir. I suggest a new strategy, Artoo: let the Wookiee win!"
