School kids in Ireland had an unexpected inter-galactic guest this week when Chewbacca took time out from shooting the next installment of the Star Wars saga to pay a visit.

This video shows the moment Chewbacca enters a classroom at Ballyferriter National School in Kerry, accompanied by the sound of the Star Wars soundtrack. Students at the school had sent artwork to the nearby Star Wars film’s set and, in return, an ambassador of The Force came to see them. Credit: Garret Daly
