Coming to America

October 13th, 2005 at 2:50 pm by Preston Taylor Holmes

Chewbacca the Wookie to become a naturalized American citizen.

WASHINGTON — A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, there was a Wookiee named Chewbacca.

On Monday, the actor who played “Chewie” in the “Star Wars” movies will take the oath to become a U.S. citizen.

British-born Peter Mayhew, 60, played the fur-covered warrior Chewbacca in the original “Star Wars” trilogy of the 1970s and ’80s, and the latest movie, “Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.”

Chewbacca loves three things: Hot blondes, The Big Orange and America, baby! Truly an ex-Brit after my own heart.
