Let's make this birthday one to remember.

80 years old (Born on May 19, 1944)

Happy birthday to the galaxy's most incredible Wookiee—Peter Mayhew! From piloting the Millennium Falcon with heroic roars, to his unforgettable battles against stormtroopers and epic bromance moments side-by-side with Han Solo, your portrayal of Chewbacca charmed millions across planets (and possibly galaxies!). Thankfully no subtitles were needed—we always knew exactly what you meant!

You might celebrate each year here on Earth quietly—but your Star Wars legacy echoes loudest in our hearts. Your towering presence, timeless loyalty, and delightful furry charm continue inspiring fans everywhere. Here's hoping this birthday is as legendary and out-of-this-world awesome as Kashyyyk itself!
