Peter Mayhew to Make a Full Recovery After being Hospitalized for Pneumonia.

Mayhew-ChewbaccaPeter Mayhew who will reprise his role as Chewbacca in the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens, has been hospitalized for pneumonia. The good news is that he is already feeling well and will make a full recovery…

 

Peter Mayhew’s webmaster himself confirmed the news on Peter’s Twitter page:

 


Mayhew had to cancel his scheduled appearance over the weekend at a comic shop in Texas.

 

 

Later Mayhew’s wife Angie posted through his Reddit account the good news:

Thank you for all the well wishes, prayers, good vibes, and happy thoughts.

 

Peter is indeed in the hospital with pneumonia.

 

He will make a full recovery, and hope to be discharged within a few days. Doctors are incredibly happy with his improvements.

 

 

We at SW7N wish a swift and complete recovery to our favorite Wookiee!

    Don’t forget the extra “e” at the end of Wookiee. The extra E is for excellence.

    Get well soon, Peter!

    A top bloke and super humble about his role in Star Wars. May the Force be with you…

    Is that an Episode 7 Picture?
    Is that the Ackbar-Head for the movie?

      That’s almost definitely the ROTS Chewie suit (which I’m really glad, by the way, they seem to have done away with for TFA in favor of one that looks more like Chewie did in the OT.)

      Looks like the photo was perhaps taken in the ILM creature warehouse/archive.

        I do hope to that Chewie looks more like he did in the OT, but I would not mind if they throw in some grey hair, maybe in his “moustache”

        Right now I can´t remember how old he is, but that is maybe not canon anymore??
        But in wookiee years he should be middleaged right? so some streaks of grey could be cool 🙂

    Here’s to a full and speedy recovery for Peter. Pneumonia can be a real bear to get over sometimes.

    Wow, Chewbacca looks really creepy when there’s no eyes behind the costume. Those black holes are staring into my mortal SOUL…

    I feel like no other actor loves the character he portrays more than Peter loves Chewie.

    So, does Mayhew actually make the Chewbacca words? Or is that dubbed in by someone else later?
