For the new Han Solo Anthology Film, Young Han Solo and Young Chewbacca will both be played by new young actors. At Star Wars Celebration a few weeks ago, I found out that Peter Mayhew, the actor who has played Chewbacca in every Star Wars film to date, would love the opportunity to have a quick cameo as himself in the background of the new Han Solo standalone film.

The precedent has already been set. A number of Star Wars' masked character actors have donned new costumes in other scenes or even other movies: Warwick Davis, Jeremy Bulloch, Ahmed Best, and Anthony Daniels, to name a few. Their roles demanded little spotlight, but to avid fans of the franchise, their appearances were fun "easter eggs" and provided some unique trivia.

In a franchise full of tradition, there's no other actor more deserving of a playful cameo in the upcoming Han Solo Anthology film. Let the wookiee win!



Star Wars fans, let's get Peter Mayhew a cameo in the Han Solo movie!
