Matthew Morrison, appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live, dished that the iconic Chewbacca character from the Star Wars series will be making a special cameo on a holiday-themed episode of his hit Fox show, Glee.

"We called up George Lucas and he gave us Chewbacca," Morrison, 33, told Kimmel in a recent appearance. "There is only one guy who can officially be Chewbacca (actor Peter Mayhew) and he lives in Northern California and they flew him in."

Morrison – who is directing the holiday episode - said the entire cast flocked around the tall, in-costume Chewy for photo-ops. He explained the logic behind the unlikely decision to write Han Solo's right-hand Wookie into the script.

From Cowboys & Aliens to Wyoming & Wookies, Jimmy Kimmel left no stone unturned as he welcomed "one of the biggest movies stars ever," Harrison Ford, onto his show Thursday.

Kimmel started off telling Ford he was recently in Jackson, Wyoming, where the Indiana Jones star owns a home, and was thinking of calling him to get together.
