The Book of Boba Fett has released five episodes so far, and many fans are loving the live-action debut of Black Krrsantan, the Wookiee bounty hunter who first appeared in Darth Vader #1 seven years ago and was a fixture in the Doctor Aphra comic series. Black Krrsantan is the first Wookiee to get major screentime since Chewbacca, who has been a beloved part of the Star Wars franchise since its inception. Peter Mayhew, who played Chewbacca in all of the films until Joonas Suotamo took over in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, passed away in 2019. Mayhew’s wife, Angelique Mayhew, sometimes posts from The Peter Mayhew Foundation Twitter account and recently shared a warm Wookiee welcome to Carey Jones, who plays Black Krrsantan.
A Message from Angie Mayhew: “Warmest Wookiee welcome to Carey Jones who is playing fierce Black Krrsantan in the Book of Boba Fett. You have some giant shoes to fill, welcome to the Wookiee family! Peter would have loved seeing a Wookiee truly unleashed!” #WookieeWednesday pic.twitter.com/YREVjOa8iH
