I was sorry to learn that actor Peter Mayhew, who played Peter Mayhew, who played Chewbacca the Wookie in the original Star Wars films, died in April.  Chewbacca was my favorite character in the first movie.

Actress and writer Carrie Fisher died too young.  I feel particularly bad for her mother, Debbie Reynolds.  I was impressed to learn that Carrie Fisher was a script doctor on many movies that I had seen.  I don't remember her before Star Wars.  I always enjoyed her interviews on the radio.  She was funny and she spoke honestly about her problems with drinking and drugs.
