This Concourse Stage session paired Peter Mayhew, the actor behind Chewbacca, with Michael Kingma, who played the Wookiee Tarfful in Revenge of the Sith. The panel focused on the physical performance of Wookiee characters, the experience of working inside large creature suits and the way body language gives Star Wars species personality. Mayhew connected the conversation to the original trilogy and Chewbacca’s long fan history, while Kingma represented the prequel-era expansion of Wookiee culture on Kashyyyk. The session gave fans a chance to hear how two performers approached similar creature roles in different production eras.
