Chewbacca makes epic surprise school visit straight from the 'Star Wars' set

Winning.

For a bunch of students in Ireland, school will never get better than this. Students at Scoil Baile an Fheirtearaigh in County Kerry got a special visitor on Monday -- a very tall, hairy Wookiee.

Chewbacca, who is filming Star Wars Episode VIII nearby, made the appearance in full character -- crouching down to get in the door. And he even learned a few words of Irish.

"We tried to get him to say 'Ta fórsa an fheirtéaraigh leat,' which means 'Ballyferriter force is with you,'" a person who was at the school told the DailyEdge.
