She's the internet sensation that blew up over the weekend and Star Wars Merchandise have a lot to thank her for!
If you haven't seen about the Happy Chewbacca Mom, you must have heard of her because since making her purchase of a Chewbacca Mask in Kohl's supermarket chain and live streaming it, she's blown up. And now, James Corden wants in on the action.
Mom of two and Star Wars fanatic Candace Payne live streamed her reaction to the Chewbacca Mask and it was hilarious. The sheer joy and laughter of this simple pleasure is infectious!
Now referred to as the Chewbacca Mom (including a Wikipedia page in that name), Payne has garnered over 130 million views on her Facebook video and it has broken the record for Facebook's live streaming platform. Her triumphant review of the mask has led to The Chewbacca Mask being sold out all over the States. And now, she's getting invited to prime time TV shows to meet the creators of her favorite Star Wars. Cue James Corden, JJ Abrams and Chewbacca Mom!
