Over the years, Mayhew became a fan favorite playing Han Solo’s Wookiee sidekick, even though most people never knew what he looked — or sounded — like in real life. Covered in a suit of fur, Mayhew made his expressive eyes and mannerisms do the acting for him. He was the gentlest of giants-A big man with an even bigger heart who never failed to make me smile & a loyal friend who I loved dearly-I'm grateful for the memories we shared & I'm a better man for just having known him.
