Original Title: TIL Peter Mayhew, who played Chewbacca, was escorted by crew members wearing brightly colored vests and told not to wander off set wearing his costume while on location for 'Return of the Jedi' Endor scenes, so that hunters in the California redwood forests would not mistake him for Bigfoot.
