Remembering Peter Mayhew - Local Trouble Star Wars Podcast

We remember the people's wookie. The man who crafted the character of Chewbacca after being 'spotted', and making a few well-placed trips to the zoo for research. 

Peter Mayhew brought a tremendous amount to a character that didn't have a line of recognisable dialogue. We remember his career and contributions to the Star Wars films here. 

James and Luke also speculate on the Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker plot following the trailer.
