Silicon Valley star and all-round paragon of humanity Kumail Nanjiani gave us all another reason to go see Star Wars: The Last Jedi on Tuesday. He posted a Twitter thread recalling an encounter he had with director Rian Johnson back when he was a red carpet journalist at Comic Con.

THREAD: I know y'all don't need another reason to see Star Wars: The Last Jedi, but I'm gonna give you one more. This is a story about its director, @rianjohnson, & why he's awesome. In 2012, before Silicon Valley, I got a job doing interviews on the red carpet at Comic Con.
