I found out last night that Peter Mayhew, the towering man who portrayed Chewbacca in in "Star Wars," passed away on Tuesday. "Star Wars" was a huge part of my life growing up, and has kind of resurfaced in a big way, in part because of the new trilogy, but also because i have kids who are way into the space opera too. And with Mayhew's passing, as well as Carrie Fisher a couple of years ago, it dawned on me, that i'm probably going to see all of the actors, all of these childhood heroes pass on. That's a strange feeling. Anyway, i was fortunate enough to meet Mayhew in 2010 at a comic con in Houston. Rest in Peace sir.
