Peter Mayhew’s widow is distressed that an auction house in the U.K. is preparing to sell off a bunch of the Chewbacca actor’s “Star Wars” memorabilia next week without the permission of the family.
Angie Mayhew went public on Wednesday with her concerns about the auction, a day after a BBC reporter posted an excited tweet about the upcoming sale of items “Found in the loft of the late Peter Mayhew.”
“When we moved out of this house Peter’s movement challenges made it impossible for him to get into the attic to get the rest of these memories. It really breaks my heart to see our belongings auctioned off like this by @angusashworth and @RyedaleAuction1,” Angie Mayhew wrote on the Peter Mayhew Foundation’s official Twitter account.
