Chewbacca on Glee??

I'll be honest, I've never watched an episode of Glee, but I figured there's gotta be a few people that fall within the venn diagram of Star Wars fanatics and Gleeks.

Airing next week, Glee will feature Chewy in a special "episode-within-an-episode" episode that will pay homage to the 1978 train-wreck known as the Star Wars Holiday Special.

Star, Matthew Morrison, confirmed the news on a recent episode of Jimmy Kimmel:

"We called up George Lucas and he gave us Chewbacca. There is only one guy who can officially be Chewbaccca, and he lives in Northern California and they flew him in," Morrison said. "We had Chewbacca for the day, and it was just great, and we were all taking pictures with him. This is a guy who has been doing it for 12 years."

I'm assuming the "guy" he's talking about is none other than Peter Mayhew, who has played the character since 1977.

If you're a fan of both Glee and Star Wars, be sure to catch the show next Tuesday 8/7 CT on FOX.
