Adele's 'Hello' helps Chewbacca, Harrison Ford resolve their feud
Every Star Wars fan knows that Chewbacca and Han Solo bicker like siblings, but viewers of Jimmy Kimmel Live know that actor Harrison Ford's off-set relationship with the Wookiee is much more tense after Ford's wife cheated on him with his co-star. Well, that's all in the past, thanks to some help from Adele.
On Monday night's special Star Wars episode, Chewbacca was in dire need of a friend to remind him what he has to live for, but an angry Ford only taunted him. Kimmel encouraged Ford to be kind to Chewbacca, reminding him of all the good memories before their dispute started.
"I know you guys have been through a lot, but that was a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away," Kimmel said. "Don't you remember the good times?"
We then get a hilarious look into the history of Ford and Chewbacca's friendship, scored by Adele's "Hello." The two bond over Connect Four, spa days and late-night snuggles while Chewie repairs a Lego Millennium Falcon.
Ford's flashback convinces him to let the Wookiee win and reconcile with the "big walking carpet." The two share a hug sweet enough to thaw even a carbonite-frozen heart.
