    There’s no way Apple is serious about that rule 😂

      Actually that’s really common for product placement, if their product is used they don’t like it being used by villains because the think it could create a negative image for the brand. It’s about brand image protection. Sure I agree it’s dumb no one really cares, but big brands like Apple really care about risks to their brand image as their brand image is the most valuable thing they have

    Love hearing this guy talk man. The behind the scenes on The Last Jedi blu-ray are some of the best behind the scenes for any movie. I always point people to that when people say they don’t think Rian knew what he was doing.

    He ruined Star Wars for me, can’t take him seriously since

    i have to be honest, this is not how i imagined he looked. In all my 23 years of life, I’ve never thought to google what he actually looked like lol

    I love the positivity in this comment section. There are still some haters as always, but in the 122 comments there currently are I only found 7. Yay Rian! Love you bud, can’t wait for the next one.
