A Star Wars coffee press should be a fairly uncomplicated thing to bring into the break room. In Viva La Dirt League's sketch, it gives Rowan an excuse to question whether Ellie really knows the franchise.

She does. Asked where Luke Skywalker was born, she identifies Polis Massa rather than his childhood home of Tatooine. Rowan responds by moving the goalposts: "Okay then, name every Star Wars character!"

The Short, posted under the title "only biddy blas fans can scrib doon in the comments", passed a million views before its first day was over, far beyond the group's usual Shorts opening. Its comment section had also collected more than ten times the channel's usual first-day total.

This is a staged workplace sketch about fandom gatekeeping, with a particularly useful flaw in the self-appointed examiner. Ellie calls out what Rowan is doing, then supplies an extensive list anyway. When she reaches Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader, Rowan thinks he has caught a mistake: he believes they are separate people.

Calling Alan and Adam over only gives his colleagues an opportunity to explain the story to him.

Viewers are extending the impossible trivia test in the comments, suggesting clone troopers and obscure background characters as further requirements. Others single out Adam's quiet refusal to let Rowan escape the embarrassment. For a sketch built around someone demanding proof of fandom, the audience has plenty of extra homework to offer.

Okay, there has to be a Perry the Platypus joke in there somewhere.

the most unrealistic part of this video is that she was able to accurately remember the lore when questioned about it. Whenever you are asked about something you enjoy its like all the knowledge about it just runs away.

Man it’s a good thing he didn’t ask for extended universe characters. We would be here all day

I Think trying to Name every star wars character would take a few days because even background characters have names and story's behind them
