Mayhew would be signing autographs and sundry Star Wars-related paraphernalia in celebration of the store’s fifth anniversary.
Mayhew’s tacky Chewbacca print shirt, more county fair velvet rug art than a Lucasfilm, ltd.-sanctioned image, along with his Harry Shearer-like droopy eyes and long frizzy hair implored me to see the man face to face.
Certainly some may object to this, but like all conventioneers, Mayhew is obviously not here out of the goodness of his heart or because he likes signing his name for half a day in a comic book store, but because this is part of how he makes his living.

 thedailytimes.com - Peter Mayhew, man behind Chewbacca, to appear at Adventure Con   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Mayhew's name is synonymous with the furry smuggler to ``Star Wars'' fans, and with ``Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones'' still tops at the box office, he'll undoubtedly be one of the biggest draws at this weekend's Adventure Con, set for Saturday and Sunday at the Merchants I-75 Expo Center in Knoxville.
Nearly 20 years after Chewbacca's last appearance on the big screen, he's still enormously popular with fans, Mayhew said in a recent phone interview, and Mayhew's tireless promotion at conventions like Adventure Con is likely one of the reasons ``Star Wars'' has exceeded entertainment to become part of American pop culture.
For the time being, Mayhew cautioned, it may be a little early to think about ``Episode III.'' Besides, for Wookiee fans, he added, Lucas has thrown a few bones into the first two episodes.
