Chewbacca!
We recently profiled Peter Mayhew, the actor who appeared in the original Star Wars movies as the Wookiee good guy, Chewbacca. Yes, we should have profiled him years ago.This photo of some of the original cast members out of costume has been making the rounds lately, so we thought we'd share it along with Mayhew's profile:
That tall guy next to Harrison Ford is David Prowse (Darth Vader). The really tall guy towering over Carrie Fisher is Mayhew.
The guy Carrie Fisher is towering over is Kenny Baker (R2-D2) and the guy on the right who looks like he thinks the whole deal is sketchy is, of course, Mark Hamill.

President Obama Begins His Day With Darth Vader
What is Barack Obama's calendar for his first full day in office?Here's a basic schedule. He starts with a 10 am worship service at National Cathedral -- the one with the Darth Vader gargoyle.
Then Obama hosts an open house at the White House while also meeting with military leaders, economic experts, etc, etc.
Frankly, we had hoped that Obama would post his daily schedule on the White House website. But so far, no dice.
