Since early in January,  Peter Mayhew, the legendary actor who portrayed Chewbacca, has been treating us to an unprecedented look behind the scenes of the original three Star Wars films.

So far, he has tweeted out over 100 images and there seems to be no end. Each picture provides us with a rare look at the camaraderie and magic behind those iconic films.

I have culled just a few so as to whet your appetite. The bulk can be seen on Peter's twitter account @TheWookieeRoars. AND. THEY. ARE. AMAZING.
