Any indication when Mayhew is going to continue this? I think he’s in the UK at this time, and filming probably ran over.

Actually, I can say firsthand that he’s in Kansas City right now for a convention. I’m meeting him at said convention very soon, in fact!

I’m just here because I’m driving tonight.

Get him to join the forum. We need more Wookiees. 😉

It’s also his birthday!

Well, unlike Edward James Olmos, there was no free-of-charge “say hi” option for Mayhew. I saw him, but was too low on cash to do much of anything else.

EJO was pretty awesome to talk with, though. ^-^

Kinda disappointing that there was no #Chewscript post on May 4th.

I’m wondering now if that ‘special announcement’ thing is just “i’m playing Chewie in the Han Solo movie”?

Which to fair to Peter, actually is a big announcement for him and the character…

That is a fair point 😃

Nice to see all the Wookiee love on his birthday - and a case o’ Skywalker Wine:

No further #Chewscript tweets as yet though…

Technically Solo’s beef with Jabba is a spice drama.
But our desperation to see the OUT again despite Lucas’ objections is a splice drama.

Peter Mayhew never actually made an announcement. What a rip off! 😉

Seriously though, I wonder what his original plan was.

Yeah it kind of never worked up in to any big announcement did it?

Every year or so I get worked up and interested in doing detective work to try and figure out when the OUT will be released, usually when I have excess free time around the holidays, only to forget about it for several months. I dug up this old fossil from early in 2016 and wondered if it had to do with a potential OUT blu ray that got postponed. I’m probably overthinking it, but a few people in this thread believed that back when this was happening, especially given Mayhew’s mocking of Greedo shooting first.

That was my 50/50 thought between it being a reveal for either the Original Star Wars or about Rogue One.

it ended up being nothing.

It’s possible if it was Rogue One related and since a big overhaul took place this was why the Big News got scrapped as everything was in too much flux.

My long shot hope is that it was OUT-related and then he realized that his timeline was completely off or it got postponed so he just gave up.

That may be it. The weird thing is that he never posted them everyday, and over the course of two months he only posted about 25 things related to the script and then never mentioned it again.
