RIP Peter Mayhew
However the topic title isn't true. Chewbacca the character is still very much alive. I would retitle this as "Iconic 'Chewbacca' actor, Peter Mayhew, dies at *insert age*"

It's the role for which he's best known and it's presented as a "Current Event" in the appropriate subforum; I think the title is just fine.

Genuinely shed a tear once or twice when they mentioned this on the radio. 
Don't take the thread title too seriously. It is a referral to Peter Mayhew.

I happen to live just south of where he died. I didn't even know where he lived.
If you and @DesertPenguin want to go on that road, you are also (also meaning that I'm wrong as well) both wrong. Chewbacca has never been alive. It is a role in a film and only a costume.
It has never been and never will be a real person/creature.

It was a wordplay and a referral to Peter Mayhew.

If you don't get it, it is not worth it explaining.
Let's move on. Peter Mayhew died, as I said in the opening post and that is what this thread is about.

Or you could just tell me what you're on about. Peter Mayhew had a joke that he would say "Chewbacca is dead"? Did he not like the character for a little while? I'd like to know what that's about.
Yes, it sucks that he died, but let's celebrate his life. What was this joke?

Sorry Famine, but we're not arguing about his name. I just wanna know what this joke is.

You say it's "crass" to refer to the actor by the name of his most famous role in the title of a thread about his death. Do you not think it's crass to fill 30% of that thread about his death to argue about it?
Pack it in. Or take it to PMs.

Please delete. Misunderstanding with kikie and I has been resolved. English sucks as a language. Leave it at that
