Who'd they have in the suit in ROTS?

It was a handful of really tall Aussie actors.

It was Peter Mayhew, as far as I knew? Did others play Chewie in ROTS?

Peter played Chewbacca, but Tarful and all the other Wookiees were played by local actors.

That is...interesting. not sure I like the idea that

Spoiler

Snoke is 25 feet tall. although i suppose it could just be that he is situated that way to make him look more important than everybody else

Oh I thought she Seelsa was referring to Chewie specifically.

I was. Although I suppose I can see why someone might have thought I was speaking generally.

30 days until...

When I saw our old friend here in the trailer I just about cried. Just about crapped myself, too!

Is it just me, or does 3PO look like he's painted with a rattle can?

Tarfful was played by Australian Michael Kingma who is actually a professional basketball player. He played for a team over here in 2006 and then a few years, and then in the Netherlands and in England.
He had a clause in his contract that he would be allowed leave from playing to appear at conventions but I don't think he ever did any.

I noticed it too. He looks tarnished but I don't think it's quite in a way we've seen before. It's almost like the gold plating is wearing thin in places or something. Can't quite put my finger on it...

I was going to say the same thing.

 

[drcraig13]

well he is 90 years old give or take a little.

Legs are too straight.... needs to be a bit knocked kneed .

They took photo of 3PO in a white room. His finish has looked dull and shiny back & forth throughout all the films. Depending on which images you pull up and lighting in said rooms or enviroments the photos were shot in.

Oh the nitpicking commences.

If they didn't use real gold chrome plating, they would sure save a ton of money not having to CG the reflection of the camera crew out of his body. Plus, considering the state of the Rebellion, a super shiny C-3PO would be out of place.
