The hit film Star Wars: The Force Awakens became the biggest film in the history of the series.

Recently, fans of the Ellen DeGeneres Show got to see Chewbacca in an exclusive interview. However, the real surprise came when Han Solo, Harrison Ford, showed up unannounced.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens made over $2 billion at the box office and to celebrate the release on Blu-ray, DeGeneres invited Chewbacca on stage for an interview. Given the nature of Chewy's language, DeGeneres realized she needed an interpreter.

In comes Harrison Ford, who surprised the fans by making his was to the stage in grand fashion. The fans continues to cheer as Ford took his seat and then it was time to chat about the film.

Ford did a little happy dance when DeGeneres rehashed the fact that the film made over $2 billion. She said that now, Ford is rich. For the first movie Ford made $1,000 a week and for this one he made much more.

They jumped in to a little footage of Ford meeting Andy Zenor at a Force Awakens Premiere, which proved to be pretty eventful.

Ford told Zenor that DeGeneres couldn't make it so she sent a guy with no pants and asked that the next time she send over a guy with some pants on.

Then, Ford blasted Zenor in the face with a super-soaker filled with tequila before taking a shot. Ford told DeGeneres that they aren't auditioning a new Han Solo, but a young one. He says it's worse than that and DeGeneres said that there are a lot of people auditioning for the role.

His only advice to them was to not do it because after 25-30 years, they just let you go, jokingly of course. DeGeneres is lobbying for Ford to become the new James Bond but the bigger news was the newly announced Indiana Jones film, which happens to be the fifth installment in the series.

Ford could not release any information on the film. You can check out Chewy and Ford in the video below.
