The extreme eroticismreveal of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalkerliterally broke the internet.

About one or two minutes after the first trailer for Star Wars Episode IXhit the internet, Twitter went down, giving desktop users who tried to use the site at all an error page. On mobile, the app was not updating at all for roughly one minute.

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.
