Five questions we’d like to ask the original Chewbacca (actor Peter Mayhew) at this weekend’s Washington State Toy and Geek Fest in Puyallup.

1 Can we call you Chewy, or do you prefer Mr. Bacca?

2 Did you find street parking for the Millennium Falcon, or use one of the fairgrounds lots?

3 While you’re visiting the Pacific Northwest, any plans to meet up with Sasquatch and exchange manscaping tips?

4 What are your views on the retirement of Anthony Kennedy vis-a-vis its impact on originalism versus a living constitution, and who would make a better Supreme Court justice: Obi Wan, Yoda or C3PO?

5 Do you ever look at pictures of President Trump and think maybe he’s wearing an Ewok pelt on his head?
