The announcement on Thursday that Peter Mayhew, the British-born actor who originally played Chewbacca in the beloved Star Wars franchise, had died earlier in the week shook up the science fiction and cinema worlds. The first on-screen Wookiee died Tuesday at the age of 74.
Mayhew’s passing not only sparked an outpouring of tributes from fans and co-stars but also reignited one of the great debates in Star Wars lore: Why didn’t Chewbacca get a medal after the destruction of the first Death Star?
