Chewbacca Actor Battles TSA Over Light Saber Cane
Peter Mayhew had a dust-up with TSA agents in Denver over his light saber-shaped cane

North Texas resident and "Star Wars" Chewbacca actor Peter Mayhew had a dust-up with Transportation Security Administration agents in Denver when they attempted to confiscate his light saber-shaped cane.

Mayhew was retuing to Dallas-Fort Worth Inteational Airport from an appearance at Denver Comic Con early this week when TSA agents refused to let Chewie board his plane with one of a kind cane.

The 7-foot, 2-inch tall actor sat in a wheelchair at the airport as he pleaded with the agents and explained that he needed the cane to walk

But it was only after the giant actor posted pics of the incident on his official Twitter account @thewookieroars that the agents relented and let him retu to north Texas with his light saber cane.
