OUR FIRST GLIMPSE OF CHEWBACCA FROM 'EPISODE VII'?

Cast and crew are in England, the heads of Disney are in and out of Pinewood Studios, so as for this great image of Disney Chariman Bob Iger with Chewbacca? Well, if its a costume character suit for publicity on May the Fourth Day, then its a helluva good one. Costume and make-up tests must surely be underway now for imminent filming, so I think we may well have our first glimpse of Peter Mayhew here, back as our beloved Chewbacca, for EPISODE VII. And I can't wait!
