Mayhew portrayed Chewbacca in the original Star Wars in 1977. He would reprise the role in The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, and Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. He shared the role with Joonas Suotamo in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, before letting Suotamo take on the role for StarWars: The Last Jedi, Solo: A Star Wars Story, and the upcoming Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

He has portrayed Chewbacca in a few other Star Wars projects, including the Star Wars Holiday Special.

That's too bad. :( IIRC he's been in poor health for a while now, though.

They can replace him but not the way he done it so well, let the Force guild him.
Do not pity a Slave for the Slave-Lord, but hear the power of what Chaos can be.
All Beings bow before the children of he who bound their flesh by their words.
Fall and wail, all flesh, bone, soul,& power is a servant to Yun-man, the First Slave-Lord.
