Peter Mayhew Confirms He Required Bigfoot Protection as Chewbacca

Peter Mayhew sans Chewbacca mask

"Yes, this is absolutely true." --Peter Mayhew responding on Reddit to rumors of requiring protection

from Bigfoot hunters while in Chewbacca costume.

On the entertainment/social media/news site reddit.com there is a Today I Learned section (TIL). Today, June 23rd 2015, one of the viral TILs was a post about Peter Mayhew requiring protection.

TIL Peter mayhew (Chewbacca) was required to be accompanied by crewmembers who wore brightly-colored vests while in the forests of the Pacific Northwest filming scenes set on Endor, so as not to be mistaken for Bigfoot and shot.

This is interesting, and definitely viral-worthy, but as a Start Wars nerd I'm pretty sure all the scenes of Endor were shot in Northern California (in the redwood Groves of Marin County and Del Norte County to be exact.

Because of the discrepancy of location I have to admit I was a little leery of the this factoid. Digging deeper I did find a supporting story written by Sean Whitley on Cryptomundo. The following excerpt is from 2011 and retells a story of how the filmakers were concerned for Peter Mayhew's safety in Bigfoot's backyard.

While shooting “Return of the Jedi” in the redwood forests of Northern California, Peter Mayhew, the seven foot, three inch actor who portrayed Chewbacca the Wookiee, was warned not to walk off set in costume for fear of being shot by hunters. “Remember, this is Bigfoot country,” he was told by concerned crew members.

This is a little different than being surrounded by crew members wearing brightly-colored vests. No doubt the addition of being surrounded by crew-members on security detail makes the story a little more tantalizing. one of the best ways to find out would be from Peter mayhew himself and how would we get him to respond to such a trivial detail. Apparently Peter Mayhew has a confirmed reddit account

and yesterday, June 22nd 2015, he was able to respond to the Bigfoot rumor.

JDawgSabronas: Yeah, I'd love some confirmation straight from the ~~horse's~~ wookiee's mouth.
PeterMayhew: Can confirm. Cheers, Peter Mayhew

Although the Pacific Northwest filming site is still in question as least we know Bigfoot hunters were a large concern on the set of filming Jedi and protection included not walking offset with the costume on and a squad of brightly colored crew-members.

Fan Edit - Star Wars: The Fall of the Galactic Republic

This was my attempt to make the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy into something a bit easier to watch. All three movies have been heavily edited and combined into one long film - the total running time is about 3 and a half hours.

Moon Anomalies: Ruins And Structures On The Moon?

Richard C. Hoagland shared an update on the Moon artifact he calls "Data's Head". Details of the head, which he said resembles the robot C3-PO, were derived by superimposing Hasselblad photos taken during the Apollo 17 mission.

THERE HAVE BEEN DISASTERS IN THE PAST

Now, the unfortunate reality is that the negative has been so amazingly crafty that they did manage to blow up a planet in the solar system. That’s where the Asteroid Belt is now.

Ceres and the Asteroid Belt: Remains of an Exploded Planet

In early drafts, Star Wars was set in the 33rd century in our galaxy. The finished films, however, take place “a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.” But although the Star Wars galaxy is not the Milky Way, it’s possible that the two galaxies exist in the same universe. The answer lies in a bargain between George Lucas and Steven Spielberg: a cameo by E.T. aliens in The Phantom Menace.

E.T. in Star Wars

In Spielberg’s 1982 film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, the alien E.T. sees a child dressed in a Yoda costume and says, “Home!” In return for the Yoda cameo, Lucas promised to insert an E.T. cameo into the next Star Wars film.

Sure enough, three aliens of E.T.’s species appear in the Galactic Senate in The Phantom Menace. No sources identify the name of their species, but the novel Cloak of Deception by James Luceno (2001) identifies their home planet as Brodo Asogi and the senator as Grebleips (Spielberg spelled backwards). In the 84th issue of Star Wars Insider magazine, the HoloNet News, an in-universe news feature, mentions Senator Grebleips funding an expedition to another galaxy.

This is all an extended joke, of course, but it raises some interesting questions. First, the name Brodo Asogi comes from the novel E.T.: The Book of the Green Planet by William Kotzwinkle (1985), a sequel to the movie E.T. This suggests that the aliens from Brodo Asogi are in fact the same species as E.T., from the same planet, and not just Star Wars aliens that happen to look like E.T.

But Star Wars is Fiction!

There’s a problem with the idea that the Star Wars and E.T. universes are compatible: in the movie E.T., Star Wars is explicitly fictional. The child wearing a Yoda costume might be excused as a costume that just looks like Yoda, but the movie characters also play with Star Wars action figures.

The only way this makes sense is if, in the E.T. universe, Star Wars is both real and fictional. That is to say, the events in the Star Wars galaxy really happened and are part of the history of E.T.’s race. The Star Wars movies on Earth, however, are just a fictional representation of that historical record -- perhaps an idea planted by other alien visitors to Earth.
