A Kerry school was surprised with an extra classmate – Chewbacca from Star Wars

Chewbacca needs to learn his multiplication and division too you know?

The characters of Star Wars have been floating around Ireland the last couple of weeks now, sightseeing, greeting people and sampling our country's finest eats and treats. Why wouldn't they? Ireland is a deadly country. A class in Ballyferriter National School, Co. Kerry, gave a warm welcome to a special guest this week, everyone's favourite furry friend Chewbacca. According to Twitter user Garret Daly, the Wookie warrior made a special appearance after his nephew, Star Wars mega fan Ruadhán made a scrapbook about his love for the space saga. The scrapbook was passed on to the crew at the nearby set where the filming of Star Wars Episode VIII film is taking place.

Han Solo's best mate visited the school visited the school and hung out with his fans, taking pictures and playing with the kids. Awwww. HOW CUTE! The kids of Ballyferriter have been keeping a close eye on the Star Wars set, bringing lightsabers and costumes to school every day in the hope that a character would come in. And they finally got their wish.
