I like it!
I know a lot of people hate replacing actors but it is bound to happen, Mayew is over 70 now. And since he's in costume it's not like you'll be seeing a different wookie at least :o

You might already know this, but both Mayhew and Soutamo was in The Force Awakens.  As you can logically assume, Mayhew played the less active parts while Soutamo played the more action scenes.  And here was Mayhew that day:

He was very nice but quiet.  It was probably due to the fact that that day was Carrie Fisher's funeral.  I shared him my condolences, and he seemed very appreciative over it.

I did know that there was another actor that played the more active scenes, just didn't know who it was! Glad to know that both actors seem like genuinely good people and I'm sure Mayew will be along for the ride as well by just being on set if he's available. Always nice to still be a part of it even when passing on!
