The Complete Series Archivesreveal of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalkerliterally broke the internet.

We reached out to Twitter for comment and the company did not immediately respond to our question about why Twitter went down, so we don't know for sure if Star Wars did it, but it would be quite the coincidence if a major traffic increase from Star Wars fans didn't cause the problem.

After Twitter was back in action, the flood of Star Wars tweets were pouring in.
