Hey, that EW cover image actually looks pretty snazzy.
But does Chewbacca seem a little short…?
It’s just a magazine cover. I think they were more concerned about fitting them both within the frame than acurately representing their heights in the movie.
(However, just FYI, Peter Mayhew is 2.18 meters tall and Joonas Suotamo is 2.11 m.)
