Original Peter Mayhew Movie Posters

Peter Mayhew movie posters from the Star Wars franchise — featuring the actor who played Chewbacca across five films from 1977 to 2019 — are primarily sought by collectors of original theatrical paper from the productions that defined modern blockbuster cinema. Standing seven feet three inches tall, Mayhew was cast by George Lucas in 1977 and reprised the role in The Empire Strikes Back (1980), Return of the Jedi (1983), Revenge of the Sith (2005), and The Force Awakens (2015), creating one of cinema's most beloved characters. Shop original theatrical materials from across the franchise. Mayhew's performance was delivered entirely through movement and non-verbal expression beneath extensive prosthetics and costuming. The warmth and personality he brought to Chewbacca—the Wookiee co-pilot of the Millennium Falcon and loyal companion to Han Solo—required sustained physical discipline across nearly four decades of production. His contribution to the character was recognised with a Saturn Award for lifetime achievement. Posters from the Star Wars franchise rank among the most actively collected in cinema history, with first-release one-sheets, advance designs, and international editions all representing significant collector categories.
