TF.N
has provided a great article from
the June issue of the UK's LOK magazine. It had an interview by
Robin Hail with Peter Mayhew who plays Chewbacca in the Classic
films. Episode III is mentioned in the article.
Robin Hail asked Peter Mayhew how he felt about the prequel

Episode III in particular since Chewbacca will make his
silver-screen return. Peter replied, “I am very pleased
with Episodes 1 and 2. George Lucas is doing a remarkable job. Spoilers

However, Lucas assures me that Episode 3 with far surpass the other
two in both action and story and from some of the pages I have read
from the Episode III script, I certainly believe him.” Later he
goes on to say, “As you know, none of the actors get the full
script of Episode III, but they do get the pages for what scene they
are working on. Therefore, I have not read the full script yet, just
a few pages with my character.”
After Peter talked
about Episode III’s script, Robin asked Peter on the role that
Chewbacca will play. I liked what Peter said. Peter replied, “I
was told by George Lucas that I would be playing a large part in the
story including the delivering of two twin babies and playing a role
in a major battle scene that involves many war machines. Sadly, I
have not read those sequences of the script yet.”
Some of this information may not be necessarily new news if you
keep up with Hyperspace and the latest spoilers. It sure sounds good
though! There was more to this article, so head over to TF.N
