Perhaps, but there’s still performance there; it’s not merely about filling a suit.
Physical acting is one of the most difficult things you can do. Have you recognized Doug Jones in any of his many roles without dialogue? No, you haven’t, because he’s damn good at what he does. Same for Mayhew. The way he moved informed the character. And I highly doubt you could do the same, much less stumble,…
I hope that before the new trilogy is over they give Peter Mayhew an on-screen role out of makeup. As a human. One last sendoff and “thank you” for all the years. Same for Anthony Daniels.
