This twitter link to the video does call the YouTube-dl Twitter extractor but fails with no attribute 'groups'

The original tweet url (https://twitter.com/starwars/status/665052190608723968) will work in the next version.
Like in #7191 I don't see any reason to support the kind of URL you posted. But feel free to expose your opinion if you disagree.
