Looks like the latest video for the UNICEF is online and it reveals a noticeably older Chewie! Unlike that image a while back we thought he'd look like (in there I didn't think he was "aged" enough), here his eyes look aged with more white around on his face, just like how an older dog would show age - I think he looks perfect now.

Please, please, please tell me there's someone here collecting all of this stuff: the teaser trailer (in HD); the UNICEF videos; the appearance on John Oliver; the leaked concept art.

If not, then can we get something going?

I'm collecting all the official-build-up-videos myself. The J.J teaser bits and bobs. Not sure if I'll both holding onto little bits like R2 getting hit with a Salmon though.

BTW: Does anybody know who this guy is...?

It's just that he's got the black unitard, the black eyeliner and coincidentally has the same Surrey accent and deep voice as Peter Mayhew. Makes me think he is the Chewie body-double.

...and IMO that costume actually looked like Chewie. Thank goodness!

 Not sure why he needs the same voice?

He could be anyone's double really, though Chewie's a good guess.

That looks like Ian Whyte. You might recall him as the massive alien in Prometheus. I THINK he does some stunt work but he's not a stunt man actual. He could be playing some other Wookie or similar [height] alien.
