Why The Chewbacca Actor Wore Heels When Filming Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker

Movies

The Star Wars franchise is a massive one which has entertained moviegoers for decades. And one character has been present throughout all three trilogies, as well as Solo: A Star Wars Story. That’s right, I’m talking none other than everyone’s favorite Wookie, Chewbacca. The furry giant is a role created by the late Peter Mayhew, before it was passed on to 33 year-old actor Joonas Suotamo. And it turns out that Suotamo actually wears heels when filming as Chewie. Think about that the next time he towers over the other characters.
