Tonight Harrison Ford stops by Jimmy Kimmel Live!, where the ABC late night host reunites Han Solo with his old Millennium Falcon co-pilot Chewbacca. Sources are keeping quiet on the contents of the cold open skit which brings together Ford with his tall furry Star Wars co-star, but Geeks of a Certain Age should definitely watch. Need more convincing? The episode is guest directed by Jon Favreau. Here’s our exclusive photo, and we’ll update tomorrow morning with any available video from the show:
UPDATE: Video added below! “I’m done with that Star Wars crap!”

(And since I know somebody will ask: No, Chewy is not played here by Peter Mayhew.)
This is awesome!
Best acting by Ford in years, it must have always been the wookie that made him look like he could act.
I find it hard to believe HF would send himself up like this. He’s a notorious grump when it comes to Star Wars. Great going!
just goes to show he can be funny – he must like Kimmel because this is not the first time HF did something for him – HF was in IM F*&^%ing Ben Affleck video too.
Ford had proven repeatedly on many talk shows that he is quite funny, and his grumpy Star Wars days ended years ago.
I would give anything short of my children to see another Star Wars. Make it with the original cast and have it set 30 years in the future. Introduce Mara Jade and the Solo twins and continue on with a new trilogy.
Now, since I’m willing to give up a body part, I don’t want Lucas to write or direct.
I would love to see Kevin Smith write it and Steven Spielburg direct it.
Who’s with me?
So fun!
Um…looks like a cheap Wookiee costume. *Not* Chewbacca.
Costume?
LOL nice
It’s been over 30 years. Han doesn’t look the same. So why should Chewy? They both look better than Leia.
Thats what I was thinking the whole time. What a cheap imitation. The teeth are all messed up. Looked crappy as the writing for that skit.
That broke a$$ costume made it even funnier.
It kind of looks like Chewy, but more like his meth-addicted cousin, Morty.
It’s probably the Chewbacca from the street near Jimmy’s studio
of course it is. That’s kid is such a stoner! The geeks will be so mad!
Chewy, have you had work done??
Got my DVR set!
Actually, it looks like Lumpy, all growed up.
Exactly what I thought! It was Lumpy, not Chewy! Star Wars Holiday rules!
Technically speaking, Chewy has died (pushing up my glasses, sipping Nesquick Chocolate milk as I type)
This is clearly Chewbaccas retarded twin brother Chewbocca
Isn’t he on tomorrow, not tonight?
Looks like fun, but it doesn’t look like Chewie. Kinda like when they ran out of money on Planet of the Apes sequels and slapped ill fitting masks on the extras.
Way shorter than Mayhew.
I’m sick of you ageist, superficial queens hating on poor Chewbacca. No wonder we have so many Wookies resorting to Botox and disfiguring plastic surgery in this country. And that’s to say nothing of the terrible body image problem on Kashyyyk. I for one am proud of Chewie for aging naturally.
Love this comment. As an aside, why do you think the natives of Kashyyyk stopped at only 3 Ys? Would 2 have changed it’s meaning or pronunciation?
It’s not Chewbacca’s face that offends me. It’s the full frontal nudity.
ROFL!
I don’t know if you’ve seen the documentary that’s on the extras of the Trilogy dvds, but that was actually a legit issue for studio execs during the making of the first Star Wars, lol
He should have re-united Harrison/Han with Greedo so we can finally put to rest who shot first.
Chad, You are a loser.
I thought Chad was hilarious.
What.
Vivian, you do realize that Chad was joking, right? You need to get a sense of humor.
Wow, relax Vivian- did a Wookie break your heart or something?
I’ll bet your a load of laughs at the office Christmas party.
