Watch Matthew McConaughey (In 'Interstellar') Cry His Eyes Out at the New 'Star Wars' Trailer

Even while lost in the forever of space, Matthew McConaughey can geek out with the best of them — at least in this very excellent fan-made video of his Interstellar character Coop viewing the brand-new teaser trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

A YouTuber who goes by the name oskararnarson mashed together the Star Wars trailer with Interstellar footage of Cooper watching his daughter as she grows up back on earth, the planet he left long ago in an attempt to save it. The end result is hilarious — and very strangely accurate.

McConaughey’s facial expressions as he watched his long-lost daughter really mimic how Star Wars fans felt while watching the trailer for J.J. Abrams’ series restart: Nervous anticipation at the beginning of the video; There’s Coop,  smiling with wonder at the appearance of the downed Imperial Star Destroyer; giggling with childlike laughter during the X-Wing chase; and then flat-out bawling when Han Solo shows up and drops the instant-classic line, “Chewie, we’re home.”

OK, we’re crying now, too.
