Chewbacca Admitted to Hospital for Pneumonia: Wife Says He'll Be Discharged in a Few Days

Peter Mayhew, the man behind the voice of Chewbacca in the Star Wars films, has been hospitalized with pneumonia. However, fans should not worry much because The Force is with him all the way.

The 70-year-old actor, from what we've come to understand, is recovering well, and should be out before the end of the month. His wife, Angie, took to Reddit where she explained to fans that he is fine, and gave thanks to them for all their best wishes and love.

"Thank you for all the well wishes, prayers, good vibes, and happy thoughts. Peter is indeed in the hospital with pneumonia," she said. "He will make a full recovery, and hope to be discharged within a few days. Doctors are incredibly happy with his improvements."
