Mayhew's double Joonas Suotamo is already signing Chewbacca autographs ...

In fact, I seem to recall reading at the time of the prequels being made that Kenny only got in the suit for one token shot or so in each (prequel) film, so they could justify what was in effect an “honorary” screen credit and not have fans yelling because he wasn’t listed.

Kenny Baker did not even shoot any new scene for ROTS. They reused a shot taken during the production of AOTC.
I dunno where in the movie it is, but Baker himself claims that he can spot where he is.

I'm cool with that. He played the character. Pierce Brosnan can sign as "James Bond" if he wants, ya know?

I've been trying to remember when and where, precisely, to no avail... But I remember sometime between ROTS and the Clone Wars running across that Peter Mayhew had signed a contract through 2020, and a bunch of us got excited at what that might indicate.

Apparently The Force Awakens was a "passing of the torch" movie in more ways than one.

Hopefully a healthy stream of residuals.

Residuals are good.

I figured the announcement would be he was auctioning the script.

Wolfsburg · Feb 23, 2016

That'd bring big bucks if that happens!

i always thought kenny was in R2 when they land on mustafar. right after anikan leaves the landing platform it shows r2 in 2 leg mode with drier vents

As for Luke's hair being different, it's harder to tell being it's a side view and even closer up.

DVD trailer and release dates confirmation http://makingstarwars.net/2016/03/s...trailer-released-deleted-scene-footage-shown/

I've got to say the effects shots look even better in this than on the big screen. I do wonder about how many deleted scenes we will get though and I still think from the quantity of footage that was available that we will eventually get an extended version, but probably not long before the release of Ep VIII.

Way to bend people over disney. Per starwars.com, a 3d version will be available later this year so if you want to movie on release and want 3d you will have to double dip.

So it's Disney's fault people don't have fiscal impulse control?

Nobody's forcing you to buy it now OR to wait for the 3D version. It's Star Wars...Disney knows they can milk the cash cow until it's dry. If you don't like their business practices vote with your wallet, but don't b!tch about something that you have control over.

It kind of is their fault when the do what they can to not inform you of the fact that it'll be available later and if they intentionally delay the 3D release specifically to get people to buy it twice.
