I think it’s fair to say, though, that no one could have really prepared themselves for a, somewhat bad, impression of Chewbacca when talking about Carrie Fisher’s very recent death.
My favorite part of the video might be how the reporter on the right, from Brazil, immediately raised an eyebrow at Pontual’s mention of Chewbacca.
It’s like she knew something goofy was coming.
Even if you do think this was insensitive, it’s hard not to laugh at least a little after watching his fellow reporters’ shocked faces dissolve into giggles at his ridiculous on-air move.
