The actor of Chewbacca from the 1980's trilogy "Star Wars", Peter Mayhew (British- born) will become an American citizen Monday, October 17, 2005. He will become a citizen with four hundred other people from over seventy countries in a ceremony placed in Texas. Peter Mayhew married a southern Texas gal six years prior of this awesome occasion. It took such a long time to become an American citizen because one has to live in the United States for at least five years as a legal immigrant. Mayhew is very proud of becoming an American despite what is happening in this country these days. Now he has dual citizenship in both countries: America and England.
