wanted to do a version of the #BenSoloChallenge that’s closer to adam’s ta-da motion than a proper shrug pic.twitter.com/dPvF39IfLN

At first I thought, "I'm too old/fat/ugly/boring/etc" to join the #BenSoloChallenge, and then I did it anyway, because Star Wars fandom is for everyone and it's about time I acknowledged that means me, too. pic.twitter.com/ihyGfngEah

So I just saw this #BenSoloChallenge trending, and what I saw was godlike impressions of Adam Driver's acting of a shrug. I started to do the same but it made me more like a moron. Hope you enjoy this short vid...😂😂#TheRiseOfSkywalker #starwars pic.twitter.com/VQBs8zhAhq
