She broke Facebook records in a matter of days and now Candace Payne, otherwise known as Chewbacca Mom, is having the time of her life hanging out with stars like James Corden and Star Wars director, J.J. Abrams. Who knew?

Candace Payne, a stay-at-home mom, posted a funny video with a talking Chewbacca mask on Thursday and by Friday morning the video had broken Facebook records with over 20 million views!

Since then, she really taken Hollywood by storm, all because of a cheap $20 talking mask. In fact, James Corden invited her onto The Late Late Show, where she not only got to sit around on national television but also got to meet a very special guest: The Force Awakens director J.J. Abrams. In fact, he even taught her the proper way to do the Wookie noise. Pretty cool stuff.

She was also told that she will be attending the Dallas Fan Expo in the next two weeks and will have the pleasure of meeting the original Chewbacca himself, Peter Mayhew. (But as you can see, I've beaten her to that finish line...that's me with Peter Mayhew right here in Shreveport at Geek'd Con, which by the way, will be happening again here in August.)
