Cincinnati Comic Expo. I brought an 8x10 photo of my dog Chewie for "Chewie" to autograph. I look pretty happy, don't I?

He has some pretty bad health issues from what I understand. Wheelchair possibly now?

He stayed seated the whole time, didn't notice a wheelchair. I knew about the arthritis issues, and it showed even when he was signing the photo. Pretty cool dude though.

He was totally baked throughout the entire filming of the series, which really just confirmed my suspicions I guess it helps Chewie seem like a badass that he's extremely chill no matter what's happening

He also improvised lines that made sense for Chewie throughout the entire series(!) and they were dubbed over with Chewie noises in editing.

David Prowse (Vader) was there as well, and Ray Park (Maul), along with the actors that voiced Ackbar and the guy that was on the Falcon with Lando. But the $ made me stick with one guy this time around. (I did think about Prowse autographing my Vader bank.)

Stan Lee was there, for $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

Would have to be the actor that was in the Ackbar suit, the guy who voiced Ackbar died in April.

In reply to GameboyRMH:

That's it! I knew someone had passed away earlier this year but looking it up before the show I kept seeing the two actors, so I was confusedededed.
