Peter Mayhew, the actor who played Chewbacca in the Star Wars films, has died aged 74, his family says.

He passed away at his home in Texas on 30 April with his family by his side, a statement said.
The British-American actor played giant Wookiee warrior Chewbacca in the original trilogy beginning in 1977 as well as later films until 2015.

아직까지 살아있었다는 것도 놀랍지만, 2015년까지 현역이었다는 것도 놀랍네요.
명복을 빕니다.
