It's the gift that keeps on giving. Though it probably makes George Lucas wish he could invent a time machine, go back in time and remove it from existence; the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special continues to have social relevance.
Glee is paying tribute to the 1978 TV special on a Dec. 13 episode and Chewbacca himself will be making an appearance on the episode.
Harry Shum, who plays Mike Chang, talked about shooting the episode with the famous wookie.
It was incredibly awesome. It was a huge surprise. (Chewbacca) makes an appearance into Artie's dream in a way. I can't really delve into the details, but it's something to do with Artie.
If you haven't seen the Star Wars Special you're lucky. It's awful. Even worse than that Phantom Menace. Don't believe us? Check out our Rewind article on the TV show.
