The circle is now complete! Our final charity challenge coin celebrating Return of the Jedi is now live! You can help the Wookiee give by picking up this beautiful Chewbacca coin by Mark Raats. May the 4th be with you!
The family of Peter Mayhew, with deep love and sadness, regrets to share the news that Peter has passed away. He left us the evening of April 30, 2019 with his family by his side in his North Texas home.
Sorry, I’ve been quiet as of late. I’ve been planning & going through some spinal surgery to improve my mobility. It’s been a success & I’ll be spending the upcoming weeks recovering. A big thank you to the doctors, staff, my family & friends that have helped me through this.
May the 4th is a tribute to the scale of Star Wars reach and as we process losing Peter we have been reading all of your posts, hearing your stories & seeing decades worth of fan photos and from the bottom of our hearts we wanted to say Thank You.

I can never be thankful enough for my Star Wars friends & family. It’s not what you have in your life, it’s who you have in your life.

Members of the Batman animated family are reporting that Kevin Conroy has passed away. We had the privilege of attending conventions alongside Kevin over the years and are heartbroken by this news.
From a Galaxy far far way to this one and to all the ones in between & from a long time ago to now and for forever more: Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and May the Force be with you all, always!!
RIP Gary Kurtz. A great filmmaker and man has just passed. Without him there would have been no "force". You will be remembered in the incredible films you made that touched the lives of millions.

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our beloved Angie Mayhew. After complications from a double heart valve replacement surgery, she has joined her beloved, Peter Mayhew, in the stars. Her kindness, love and generosity will always be remembered.
Thank you for Episode VII. The opportunity you afforded him and the support of his family and fans gave him the drive he needed on the road to recovery. We will be forever grateful for the time you helped add to his life and your incredible contributions to the SWU.
Peter’s family is releasing a limited edition memorial coin. 100% of the proceeds benefit the Peter Mayhew Foundation to continue supporting causes that’ve been important to Peter & Angie.The portrait was done by his daughter Kate.

A Message from Angie Mayhew: “Warmest Wookiee welcome to Carey Jones who is playing fierce Black Krrsantan in the Book of Boba Fett. You have some giant shoes to fill, welcome to the Wookiee family! Peter would have loved seeing a Wookiee truly unleashed!”

It feels impossible, but today wrapped photography on Episode IX. There is no adequate way to thank this truly magical crew and cast. I’m forever indebted to you all.
Carl Weathers has passed away. The Mandalorian star and son of New Orleans was 76 years old. Through every interaction we had with Carl we knew he was a man of honor and had a warm sense of humor lighting up any room he was in. Our most heartfelt condolences to his family.
The Peter Mayhew Foundation Challenge Coin run benefiting hungry kids in Venezuela will be ending soon. A $10 coin can get 200 kids a hot meal. Every bit helps. Cheers.
