While fans of the original Star Wars trilogy anxiously anticipate the forthcoming Star Wars: Episode VII, they will be comforted by the news that the original Chewbacca himself, Peter Mayhew, is set to reprise his famous role once again. Though 69 years of age, the actor will join up with what seems to be a host of new faces – though his casting does pave the way for the likes of Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher to step into this universe once more.
