[Watchdog]

Peter Mayhew, the 7-foot-tall actor who portrayed Chewbacca, passed away on April 30, 2019 at the age of seventy-four. He suffered a heart attack and passed away surrounded by his family in his Texas home.

He had become a naturalized U.S. citizen on October 17, 2005 in Arlington, Texas.

Rest In Peace, Chewy. You made millions and millions of people smile and forget their troubles for a while.
