Everyone's favorite Wookiee co-pilot has so much in common with Louis C.K. that when Nerdist imagined what the intro to Chewbacca's FX show, Chewie looked a lot like Louie. Chewbacca grabs a slice of pizza before his stand up gig, where the audience presumably understands his unintelligible moans.

Han Solo is cool and all, but he's never had to deal with hecklers, crippling self loathing and two daughters growing up in a galaxy beyond his control.
