On Chewies eyes, I'm not sure there's any doctoring, or it's incomplete. He has the same look in a Force for Change video.

I'm wondering if Peters vision is not what it used to be and he cannot wear contacts, or the original design is no longer comfortable at 70. There's also a taller guy in there in a black jump suit with eye black that might be a stunt double. He didn't appear to have blue eyes, but you'd think they would just give him blue contacts.

The growl also seems out of sync and too hard of a sound effect for a subtle mouth movement. I bet it's a generic placeholder from their sfx archives, and Han and Chewie were a last minute addition to the trailer.

 

Is it Peter's stunt double in the trailer? I know it is in the Force For Change video. Even with the knee replacement he has trouble walking and I'm afraid that they will need to have a new person learn from Mayhew to take over as Chewbacca.  Especially if he is going to be a big part of the next two, which makes sense because everyone loves Chewie.  

Probably. I saw Peter at a Disney World Star Wars Weekend maybe a month after they had started shooting. He was in an emv most of the time and really struggled to move at all without a lot of assistance. It was nice to see him walking so well at this celebration.
