Talk:Peter Mayhew

message: I integrated the text of the trivia section into the article. I also removed some inaccurate statements, such as Peter appearing in Deal or No Deal. There was a guy dressed as Chewie, but it wasn't Peter. Peter himself has said he has retired from performing Chewbacca. Smylere Snape (talk) 02:22, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Trivia section

message: I've asked Mr. Mayhew for a photo for Wikipedia at GenCon 2008 but he refused, in a rather abrupt manner. My impression is that he is not an easy person to approach, unfortunately (out of about 500 people I asked for photos there, he was one of the only two who refused). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk  19:06, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: That's strange. I met Peter when he came down here for a Con, we even asked him out to dinner. He and his wife were extremely nice and accommodating. We have dozens of pictures of all of us. Smylere Snape (talk) 16:22, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps he had a bad day; perhaps you could upload some of your photos? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk  12:36, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Also 

message: The article currently says "His height is a product...of a genetic disease called Marfan Syndrome. The condition was treated successfully in his mid-teens." This is misleading. In fact, as the cited source states, the overactive pituitary gland causing his excessive growth was successfully treated in his mid-teens, but the Marfan Syndrome itself is not curable. Also, the article says "Mayhew's seven-foot, three-inch height has stressed his knees and he was forced to undergo double knee replacement surgery in 2013." It wouldn't be his height per sae, but the Marfan Syndrome itself that causes the knee problems, because it's a connective tissue disorder (I have a similar condition). I'm making small changes to the text to clarify this. FYI, pneumonia is also a common complication of Marfan Syndrome, but I don't have a source discussing Mayhew's case.Sadiemonster (talk) 14:00, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Hi, I love Wikipedia, but very rarely contribute or make changes.  Reading this I see his first role in 'Filmography' is listed as 'Minoton', while the rest of the text has 'Minotaur'. Maybe somebody more confident could check and change this.  Thanks. Jsryork (talk) 16:28, 6 May 2019 (UTC)
