Peter Mayhew as Chewbacca
He’s been the man behind the seven-foot tall Wookiee for over three decades, and we can’t wait to see him return as Chewbacca in Star Wars: Episode VII! In honor of actor Peter Mayhew’s 71st birthday, here we count down our top 10 Star Wars scenes starring everyone’s favorite big walking carpet.


10. The time Han Solo forced Chewie into the trash compactor.

“Get in there, you big furry oaf! I don’t care what you smell!”

“There’s still a chance to save Han!”

7. The time Chewbacca was “thinking with his stomach” and sprang an Ewok trap on Endor.

“Yeah, it’s just a dead animal Chewie…Chewie, wait no!”

It's a trap!


6. When the heroic wookiee got the last line in Episode IV: A New Hope…but no medal 🙁

It’s the thought that counts right?
