Nerdist Insert Chewbacca Into 'Louie' Credits, Win The Internet

With the fifth season of cult-favourite FX comedy Louie freshly under way in the States, on the one hand, a newly released video from pop-culture site Nerdist that inserts hirsute Star Wars hero Chewbacca into the show's opening credits is extremely timely — but, on the other, how did this take so long?

Following everyone's favourite Wookiee as he makes his way through New York City on a leisurely night stroll, the video does exactly what you think it does, replacing series star Louis CK with Han Solo's right-hand thing, and even throws in some extra neat little touches - a passing Stormtrooper here (who flips the bird, no less), a grunted stand-up set there - to complete the transformation. Check it out below.

That is some A+ work, Nerdist. Everyone can go home; the internet has been won (again).
