Peter Mayhew, the 7-foot tall actor who played Chewbacca in the original Star Wars films, as well as Revenge of the Sith, was stopped by airport security in Denver for carrying a cane that looks like a lightsaber. The TSA claimed that the weight of the large cane concerned guards, but that 69-year-old was allowed to leave with it in hand after five minutes. Nonetheless, Mayhew took to Twitter to voice his frustrations, sparking fans to rally for a call to "let the wookiee win".
