Height

In what way was 7'3" his 'peak' height? Has he shrunk since? 82.9.22.128 (talk) 22:34, 3 June 2008 (UTC) 82.9.22.128 (talk) 22:33, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Everybody shrinks with age. Smylere Snape (talk) 17:06, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Actually, he is 2.22 meters tall, according to a site I just recently hit. -The Bold Guy- 10:59, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is a lot of debate, and his height keeps getting edited, recently by making references to the Celebrity Heights website, which is based only in speculation. That website writes :"UK Actor, Chewbacca from Star Wars. Seen him stand 'tall' beside a 6ft 2 women and he looked not much more than 6.5 inches taller, so not near 7ft in 2007. His peak is still debatable." The man himself says he's 7'3" in his own website PeterMayhew.com. I've met Peter and I have no reason to doubt that he's lying about his height. Believe me, the guy is huge. Anyways, I've added the height he states is correct. Smylere Snape (talk) 00:07, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Him slouching, her in heals. I doubt he'd lie.

Trivia section

I integrated the text of the trivia section into the article. I also removed some inaccurate statements, such as Peter appearing in Deal or No Deal. There was a guy dressed as Chewie, but it wasn't Peter. Peter himself has said he has retired from performing Chewbacca. Smylere Snape (talk) 02:22, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Difficult photos

I've asked Mr. Mayhew for a photo for Wikipedia at GenCon 2008 but he refused, in a rather abrupt manner. My impression is that he is not an easy person to approach, unfortunately (out of about 500 people I asked for photos there, he was one of the only two who refused). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 19:06, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's strange. I met Peter when he came down here for a Con, we even asked him out to dinner. He and his wife were extremely nice and accommodating. We have dozens of pictures of all of us. Smylere Snape (talk) 16:22, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps he had a bad day; perhaps you could upload some of your photos? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 12:36, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Where was he born?

The text says Barnes, but the info box Great Yarmouth. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.177.133.146 (talk) 20:17, 20 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also

'also'. How many times can you use 'also' in an article. Introduce variety
