Okay that's it ... we have to do something about this growing old stuff :D

I remember standing in a long line down in San Diego back in 1978 (I think) to see the first Star Wars movie in Mission Valley.

So who's next that makes something like three now?

Did he ever play any role outside the Chewbacca ghillie suit?

Well in California at least Peter Mayhew as Chewbacca will always be remembered on May 4th every year.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - May the fourth officially be with you.

The California Legislature voted Thursday to declare May 4 “Star Wars Day” in recognition of a Disneyland theme park slated to open later this month.

It’s a play on the Star Wars’ phrase “may the force be with you.” The resolution by Democratic Assemblyman Tom Daly says it’s the largest single-site expansion in the park’s history and could generate $14 million in tax revenue for the city of Anaheim annually.
