Peter Mayhew hasn't shared anything about the transition yet, but he must've had some conversations with Joonas Suotamo about it. And, as Cinema Blend noted, Suotamo was the body double for Mayhew in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," so it's like a promotion at his existing workplace. That's the two Chewies together in the photo above -- from December 2015 -- and here's Suotamo with Luke Skywalker himself:

Gonna go ahead and say it: New Chewie is hot, and he's probably going to be very popular on the "Star Wars" circuit. Just a guess.
The Han Solo movie is scheduled for release May 25, 2018.
