All we ever get out of Chewbacca in the Star Wars movies is grunts and growls , his shyriiwook language untranslatable to us but read by Han and his friends . But Chewie worker Peter Mayhew did n’t growl on the set — he in reality verbalize lines , and it ’s kind of amazing to observe in military action .
While it ’s long been eff that Mayhew would speak dialogue for his scenes in the Star Wars saga , there ’s not much footage out there of the pre - dubbed succession with out there . gratefully the man himself shared some footage from filming The Empire Strikes Back , courtesy of documentarianJamie Benning , over the weekend , and it ’s as fascinating as it is hilarious :
