RIP Peter. Always loved coming back to watch Chewy finally get his moment. Thank you Peter for all the great memories over the years, you will be missed.
Thank you Peter, for Chewbacca and giving him his heart and soul. Thank you, Carrie, forever our Princess Leia, for giving her her fighting spirit leadership and compassion.
"Do you know what it's like to get an award for best screenplay and get really excited about it then to have Chewbacca get a lifetime achievment award. Really puts it all in prospective."
"I only wish we had love scenes." -Carrie Fisher Immediately following this celebration, Chewie tea-bagged Carrie in their limo. Their torrid affair eventually led to the secret birth of Gary.
Rest in Peace, Peter Mayhew. We miss you! This video got me teary eyed, especially seeing him coming down the aisle with Star Wars blaring and then seeing Carrie put the medal around his neck. Then with "Nobody Does it Better" from one of my favorite Bond films. Oh, boy. So sad we've lost both Carrie and now Peter. Rest in Peace you two.
I'm going as chewbacca for Halloween this year I'm definitely going to bring it ...I've seen others do it damn good but I'll do my best for chewy. ..can't wait for movie. .love chewbacca fans..rock on
I never saw this before. Thank you for posting it. I'm so glad that Peter got this award after getting shafted by Princess Leia the first time around. Star Wars came out when I was just 7 years old, so I will always have some of my fondest memories at the movie theater seeing something so spectacular at the time, especially since Star Wars didn't have the technological advances of today. Bravo, Peter Mayhew! You deserve it, Sir!
EPIC, standing ovations and finally the medal for Chewie! Well deserved! Carrie and Peter have the humor to enjoy events like these. Mark Hammill would probably either be pissed or cry out loud if he was offered an award just for fun...
me so excited this video because I saw live in 1997, chewbacca was one of the greatest episodes IV, V and VI of the star war, much deserved her award, this is only for connoisseurs, I already have 44 years
Had my picture taken with Mayhew and got his autograph at Celebration IV in L.A. Funny guy. I saw this live, and did NOT see it coming. I about pissed myself laughing. LOVE IT.
#1. That was an incredibly epic walk down the aisle. #2. This is the first video on youtube I've seen with no dislikes. But really, who doesn't love everything about this video?
I was just watching A New Hope earlier tonight and remembered reading about this in Star Wars Insider years ago, made me wonder if anyone had uploaded the video. How suitably awesome.

RIP Peter Mayhew. The mighty Chewbacca !
RIP Peter and Carrie. Thank you for being so special to all of us.
and thanks to the prequels he is technically a war veteran. even more respect.
+Dead Purple Wow, never thought of that!
+DemonWarp65 Yep he fought in two of the most epic wars in the history of the galaxy:
The Clone Wars, and the Galactic Civil War.
Chewbacca's speech was probably the best speech I ever heard! It was short, sweet, humble, and touching. Chewbacca for president!
Yeah, he nailed it!
rest in peace, peter mayhew. may the force be with you.
RIP Peter. Always loved coming back to watch Chewy finally get his moment. Thank you Peter for all the great memories over the years, you will be missed.
He gets his due, in The Rise of the Skywalker
@2:38 about freakin' time! This moment actually made me tear up when it happened. Leia finally gets to present Chewie with his well earned medal.
my hero since i was seven.....I'm 42 and still love the wookie! Sent an e-mail to Peter Mayhew and got one back, best day ever!
***** yeah man! I know! Lol
Rest in peace 😔
Rest in peace, Peter and Carrie. You are loved and missed.
RIP, Peter Mayhew
I hope The Rise of Skywalker will have a dedication to Peter Mayhew
I'm certain it will
I agree
Chewie got his medal. Peter would be smiling
Thank you Peter, for Chewbacca and giving him his heart and soul. Thank you, Carrie, forever our Princess Leia, for giving her her fighting spirit leadership and compassion.
2:29 how nice of Jedi Mace Windu to be in attendance
***** He was there to represent the Jedi Council. Yoda would have gone to the awards, but it was his Thursday night Bingo session

Hilarious when this first aired. MTV was still on top of it's game. Was deep into high school in 1997.
thank you so much mr meyhew may you rest in the stars.
This is so awesome. I got to meet Peter Mayhew at Megacon last year. One of the premier moments of my life!
Carrie Fisher was still nice and tight looking back in those days.

R.I.P Peter & Carrie forever in our thoughts and forever in our hearts.
Ladies and gentlemen, from the planet Kashyyyk Chewbacca! Wow what an honor! Chewie forever.
RIP Peter Mayhew 😭
During the "hugs" part of the compilation, it really would have been great to have included the Han/Chewie hug from the Holiday Special.
Also would have been great to include the hug between Chewie and Leia after Han died... Oh wait, that never happened.
Wow Chewbacca had the best speech i ever heard...He should run for president
Rest In Peace Peter Mayhew
Ps teared up to....when I saw this
Chewbacca's speech was poignant. And he didn't even need a teleprompter to convey his great message.
EPIC, standing ovations and finally the medal for Chewie! Well deserved! Carrie and Peter have the humor to enjoy events like these. Mark Hammill would probably either be pissed or cry out loud if he was offered an award just for fun...
i rember seeing that when I was young.It made me cry then it makes me cry now.Chewbacca will live on forever in our hearts.
me so excited this video because I saw live in 1997, chewbacca was one of the greatest episodes IV, V and VI of the star war, much deserved her award, this is only for connoisseurs, I already have 44 years

This was beautiful
Merecido reconocimiento!! Héroe
Rest in peace Carrie Fisher.
