Peter Mayhew, a.k.a. Chewbacca, has been hospitalized for pneumonia.
The guy who's played Chewie since the '70s cancelled an appearance over the weekend at a comic shop in Texas ... and "Star Wars" geeks went into panic mode when they heard he fell ill.
Peter's wife had good news for his fans, writing on Reddit, "He will make a full recovery, and hope to be discharged within a few days. Doctors are incredibly happy with his improvements."
The 70-year-old is set to reprise his role in the upcoming trilogy ... including "Star Wars: The Force Awakens."
May the force be with you Peter.
