The Return of Chewbacca

Posted by timothy on from the ready-for-his-closeup dept.

BrunoC writes "It's official! Peter Mayhew is going to play everyone's favorite wookie once again: Chewbacca is returning in Episode III, currently in pre-production phase. Peter says (quoted from StarWars.com) "I'm delighted to return as Chewbacca, I think his re-appearance in this film is a fitting way to tie the whole saga together, especially for Wookiee fans." Woa! Just for the records: Artoo and C-3PO will be there too! You can read the official annoucement here, at StarWars.com."

    In all fairness to the editors, it'd be pretty hard to follow Star Wars in the slightest and not hear something this major from somewhere well before the movie is finished. You can uncheck the appropriate boxes or just stay away from this place but most people are bound to find out sooner or later... Slashdot's just doing its best to tell you first, and then repeat it a few times in case you forget....
