Peter Mayhew, who played Chewbacca in the original Star Wars, took to Twitter Thursday night and unleashed a veritable troveof annotated behind-the-scenes photos from the original trilogy. Some of these shots you’ll no doubt recognize, but many of them were new to us – like this ridiculously adorable photo of 11-year-old Warwick Davis!
