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.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*"
To me it seems a little crass but whatevs.
To voice my opinion? Sorry, I forgot people hate when I do that
Don't take the thread title too seriously. It is a referral to Peter Mayhew.RIP Peter Mayhew

It was a wordplay and a referral to Peter Mayhew.Agreed.
Also agreed, Chewbacca isn't dead.
By all means, enlighten us.It was a wordplay and a referral to Peter Mayhew.
If you don't get it, it is not worth it explaining.By all means, enlighten us.
*clears throat noisily*To me it seems a little crass but whatevs.
"Hey, a famous guy's died. Let's argue the toss about whether it's appropriate to refer to him by the name of by far his most famous role or not in a thread about his death."
No-one, ever.
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?Sorry Famine, but we're not arguing about his name. I just wanna know what this joke is.
