Depuis le 8 janvier dernier, l’acteur qui jouait le cultissime Chewbacca, Peter Mayhew est un brin nostalgique. Il diffuse ainsi sur son compte Twitter des photographies issues du tournage de la 1ere saga STAR WARS de George Lucas. Des images inédites, rares ou que l’on prend plaisir à revoir. Morceaux choisis agrémentés des commentaires de Peter Mayhew.
