Purchase your photo op today so you don't miss your chance to meet him!  Peter Mayhew, the original Chewbacca, started his Star Wars career in 1977 as the faithful 200 year-old Wookiee in Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope. From there, he finished out the Star Wars trilogy including The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. He reprised his role as Chewbacca in Star Wars Episode III Revenge of the Sith. In 2011, Peter consulted with the animators as they introduced Chewie into the Clone Wars series. After 30 years Peter's relationship with his character came full circle by having him voice Chewbacca in Star Wars The Clone Wars.  In 2013, he was cast to reprise his role as Chewbacca for Star Wars Episode VII : The Force Awakens.  Following The Force Awakens, he worked on The Last Jedi as a Chewbacca consultant to help train the new Wookiee.  Buy My Photo Op Buy My Passes Take a look at the schedule of activities now posted.
