[edit] 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)

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

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

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)

[edit] 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)
