The Millennium Falcon seems empty now
with no one in your chair.
Though you had a tendency to shed
I didn't mind, I swear.
Your presence was always comforting.
I took courage in your growl.
I might even have understood you,
if I could only buy a vowel.
Leia is waiting for you now
to take you by the (?) hand
Off you go now together
to the moons of Alderan.
So may the Force be with you, friend,
though mortal bonds now sever.
Take solace that we hold you close
in memory forever

Peter mayhew has passed away at age 74. Another cast member of my favorite movie had taken his final bow.
