The modern adventures of the Solo family. Spoilers if you've been living under a rock since December.
Yup. This is something.

fortunately, there's a lot of Adam Driver acting like an asshole on Girls, so this might go on forever.

Do six rapidly repeating gifs in a grid make other people a bit queasy or is that just me?

I'm with you, it's a visual overload. It clearly took work to track down footage, but the characters are obviously in different scenes (there are people walking all around the outside of Kylo and Han's home) and are moving their mouths in ways that are blatantly off with the dialogue. This would have worked better as text. It's also not particularly funny.

I do enjoy how Ben Solo calls Leia "mommy" in all the updates where she's featured.
(It's a nice little echo of Adam Driver's character Phillip doing so to his mother all throughout This Is Where I Leave You.)

This contributes to the humor.

But then you wouldn't get to see Han's unimpressed-old-man reaction faces.

But he is wrong. Untrained, but wronger than he knows.

Some of these are better than others, but when they're good it's like a beautiful window into another exasperated dimension.

giftsets like that are very common on tumblr, it's definitely not a thing unique to this one.

I've been living under a rock, but it's cool, it was already spoiled for me in the last FPP about it.

I have to imagine the creator did this in part just for an excuse to use that Carrie Fisher drinking gif from "When Harry Met Sally", which is awesome.

Hang on, was that the big surprise that everyone was sworn from spoiling?
I feel kind of cheated.

Kylo = Ben was a mild spoiler, less so if you read some Star Wars novels and suspected at least some of the Solo family dynamics would make it into the established universe.
There is arguably a bigger twist from the end that remains unspoiled by these gifsets... Though, again, if you are familiar with a certain actor's relationship to the franchise, this twist is less than surprising.
