So dude's job was to just put on a costume and make gestures?

And yet he did it so well.

He went to the zoo in London and studied the movements of animals to try get it realistic.

Nice one DM.. an article about a dead man who acted in a costume cuts his face off and shows a rival actor instead..

Don't have the foggiest how Chewie's body puppet looked, or sounded when he didn't have stomach cramps, and guess I won't now ever.

Still, RIP and thanks for all the laughs.
