Sadly, Peter passed away just before he was to sign the plaques for our busts. Two special people have stepped up to fill his very large shoes.

The plaques were redesigned to reflect that this was now a Peter Mayhew Tribute Edition and Peter’s wife Angie hand-signed each numbered plaque.  In addition to being Peter’s wife, she was also his voice in the fan community and continues to be Peter’s voice after his passing with the Peter Mayhew Foundation.

As an additional tribute, Mark Hamill graciously sent us hand-signed notes with some of his memories of Peter and we included one with each bust. In lieu of any payment for those signings, we made a donation to the Peter Mayhew Foundation to help continue all of the great work they do!

My greatest hope is that we have turned this into the best possible tribute to Peter. I had the great fortune of sharing one of the busts with him at Star Wars Celebration Chicago.  I’m so humbled by how gracious and warm he was, and how much he appreciated the work we did. It was a truly magical moment!

I hope that each of the collectors that brought these busts into their homes was genuinely happy with the outcome. Their enthusiasm for the project and trust in us was greatly appreciated!
