Peter Mayhew,Ava Fabian Archives known for playing Chewbacca in the Star Wars films, has finally received the space-based tribute he deserves.
The celebration of Mayhew came courtesy of astronaut Nick Hague who secured a photo of Mayhew to one of the International Space Station's (ISS) windows with a gorgeous view of Earth in the background.

A few fans noticed that the window in which Hague placed Mayhew's photo held more than a passing resemblance to both a TIE fighter and, more appropriately, the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon.
As CNET notes, Star Wars was definitely on the minds of Hague and the other ISS astronauts as they, like millions of fans, celebrated May The Fourth, aka Star Wars Day, with their own viewing of one of the Star Wars films.

Mayhew died on April 30 at his home in Texas at the age of 74, prompting tributes to pour in from all over the globe and, now, high above it, too.
