Sci-fi fans are aware that Chewbacca is an ape-like character in the Star Wars films. Apparently, there are folks in Colorado who believe theFirst Lady is a dead ringer for Chewbacca.

Colorado Springs talk radio host Jimmy Lakey recently told his listeners he was relaxing in a cigar club when he heard someone refer to Michelle Obama as Chewbacca. Listen below:

Lakey, who has a talk show on 740 KVOR in Colorado Springs, got on the radio and said he’d never used the word himself, but added, “At the cigar club, someone used the phrase Chewbacca, and everyone knew or assumed who this person was talking about. I’ve tested it,” Lakey said laughing. “I’ve done group testing, and I’ve said, if I say Chewbacca, what do you think? And, I’m telling you, I’m in so much trouble right now.” YES you are!

Oh but there’s more.
