As part of yesterday’s Star Wars Day celebrations, Disney CEO Bob Iger (who recently flew to London to review the script for Star Wars Episode VII with director J.J. Abrams) posted the following selfie which gives us our first look at actor Peter Mayhew in the Chewbacca costume once again!
The iconic character doesn’t seem to have aged much, but this could just be for rehearsals or a costume fitting. After all, it’s a little difficult to image that Mayhew walks around in the costume for the sake of it!
Iger spearheaded Disney’s acquisition of Lucasfilm, so his presence in London isn’t a huge surprise. The Disney Chairman revealed not too long ago that there’s a very good chance that future Star Wars movies could revert to their regular May release slot depending on Episode VII’s production time.
