You can always rely on Reddit to entertain you. Whether it's offering life hacks that will change your everyday existence or traumatic fail stories that will make you thankful for your own life, the site is an absolute mine of quality.

And the best thing about it is that real life famous people actually use it too, including Star Wars actor Peter Mayhew, who is incredibly charitable with his comments on Star Wars content. He's just proved that abundantly too on a thread about things you've never done that most peole have.

One poster - henri006 - claimed that he has never seen a single Star Wars movie and unexpectedly Mayhew posted a response that pretty much blew up the post.

There's just something wonderful about the understatement of his response and the idea that the poster probably had no idea why the response was getting such traction and his notifications were burning through his phone battery. No wonder it got such a response, including the original poster agreeing to watch the whole franchise.

It's great to think of Mayhew as a sort of Star Wars super-advocate, flying around the Internet righting wrongs and helping new fans find his movies.
