Not sure $1000 is enough to make me watch the Rise of Skywalker.

You probably won't get anything interesting from that. They are some of the most widely known movies of all time, if you haven't watched a single one, there's probably a reason for that. And I don't think you can actually find someone without prior knowledge. I didn't finish a single one but know pretty much everything from memes and other popculture references.

About $49/hour if I did the math right

Edit: Assuming just the time for the viewing; less if you need to do an interview or write something afterwards, I guess.

I wish I qualified...I've only seen two of them and it was two decades ago. The prequels released when I was in middle school (?) and after hearing everyone rave about the original trilogy, I watched A New Hope...but I was too put off by the campy dialogue to watch the rest. Then I saw Episode I in theaters and did not enjoy it so I never bothered with the franchise again.

I LOVED the LEGO sets, though.
