Candace Payne
recorded the video in a department store parking lot on
Thursday.
Chewbacca is a fictional character from the "Star Wars" movie
series and adventurer Han Solo's sidekick.
The mask emits a guttural sort of whine, characteristic of
Wookiees, that Payne triggered when she opened her mouth.
"I'm such a happy Chewbacca!" Payne exclaims, while laughing.
"This is worth every penny!"
"Chewbacca" began trending on Twitter in the United States on
Friday, with users of the social media platform cheering the
video.
"If you haven't seen the Chewbacca mask lady video yet, you are
missing out on a few minutes of pure joy," tweeted ˇGabe! Ortíz
(@TUSK81).
"Can we all agree that this reaction to a Chewbacca mask is
everything?" tweeted Kohl's (@Kohls), where Payne said she
bought the mask.
"Laugh. It. Up," tweeted Star Wars' official Twitter account (@starwars).
A Kohl's spokeswoman said the Chewbacca mask has sold out
online.
As for Payne, a subsequent Facebook post indicated that she is
enjoying the reaction.
"Thanks for all the feels, Internet webs," Payne wrote. "I mean
it."
