He was scheduled at conventions this summer so must've been something reasonably unexpected, although I know he had surgery last year on his back and had to cancel some. Really sad about it :(

Looking at some of the women in Barnsley on a Saturday night, you'll find that Chewbacca is alive and in good health:-)
