Chewbacca-gain?

A casting call via Spotlight has set alight specualtion that Chewbacca may be returning for Episode VII.

The website is asking for a "male, 7 ft to 7.3 ft tall with a slim/thin build and upright posture, not too worked out or too 'thick set' especially in the shoulders" for an untitled studio project with a 2014 start, helmed by J.J. Abrams, Kathleen Kennedy, Bryan Burk and Tommy Harper.

It's obvious that the film is Star Wars, but what of the role?

Physically it sounds like they're casting for a Wookie, and since original Chewie actor Peter Mayhew was 7 ft 3, many are speculating that they are casting for Chewbacca himself.

That said, there's no confirmation that this is a Wookie, let alone Chewbacca - it could be for any new type of space creature.

But with Han, Luke and Leia expected to return, it would be odd to not see Chewie alongside them.

Let's see how many people Latino Review claim will read for this one...
