Chewbacca Just Met His 'Heroes,' the Hobbits, and It Was Kind of Hilarious
One Fantasy Crossover To Rule Them All!
Seriously, who's in for a Chewie/Hobbit spinoff? Lucasfilm? Amazon?
Joonas Suotamo plays 190-year-old Chewbacca in "Solo: A Star Wars Story," which opens in theaters this Friday, May 25. The Wookiee is known for towering over his BFF Han Solo, as well as everyone else -- and that's especially true of Hobbits.
Suotamo was thrilled to get a chance to meet his "heroes," the "Lord of the Rings" stars, posing with Sean Astin (Sam), Elijah Wood (Frodo), and Billy Boyd (Pippin).
The guys and their fans had some fun with the massive height difference:
