No that isn't a spoiler for the next movie. The actor who has portrayed the popular wookie from Star Wars in every role since the original trilogy has passed away on April 30th at the age of 74.
My condolences to his friends and family and he shall be missed.
It is with great sadness that we mourn the passing of this great legend, who has joined Kenny Baker and Carrie Fisher as actors from the Star Wars films that are no longer with us. However, I feel I should point out thar Peter Mayhew played Chewbacca in every role EXCEPT The Last Jedi and Solo, in which the character was portrayed by Joonas Suotamo.
