"I'm going to find a caption for this image." "A good one, right?"
"I edited them, I edited them all. And not just the memes, but the womemes and the childremes too!"
—Anakin Skywalker
Return to the main Star Wars meme page here.
Please add entries in the following format:
- The meme. ExplanationThe explanation behind the meme.
- Further mutations and successor memes, if any.
- Star Wars fans have noticed Django and Jango Fett's names have identical pronunciations and have created mash up photos of the two franchises
. - "Begun, the [X] war has." ExplanationYoda's grim statement about the Clone Wars having begun with the Dark Side having left an impact on the Republic and the Jedi, noting of their Pyrrhic Victory at Geonosis. People took to use Yoda's quote to pair it with something related to war such as getting toy guns or a hot debate.
- Wanna buy some Death-Sticks? Explanation A Balosar drug-dealer tries to convince Obi-Wan to take some Death-Sticks in a nightclub. Obi-Wan uses a Jedi Mind Trick to persuade him to rethink his life.
- *waves hand* You want to go home and rethink your life.ExplanationObi-Wan's Jedi Mind Trick answer to the above question. As a meme, it's also often used as a standalone comment in response to a particularly silly or confusing statement/question.
- I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating, and it gets everywhere. Not like here. Here, everything is soft and smooth. ExplanationAnakin's bizarre attempt at romantic small-talk, often used to mock poorly handled romance. It has since spiraled into people joking about how Anakin/Darth Vader outright despises sand and is his Weaksauce Weakness (alongside the High Ground). In fact, once Rogue One rolled around, this meme was used as a possible explanation for why Vader wasn't battling on the beach.
- I...I killed them. I killed them all. They're dead...every single one of them. And not just the men. But the women...and the children, too. They're like animals, and I slaughtered them like animals! I HATE THEM!ExplanationAnakin breaks down in front of Padmé about his slaughter of the Tusken Raiders. It has since turned into a snowclone with the men, women and the children are replaced with something else. People have also taken it out of context to make it look like Anakin's describing what kind of porn he watches.
- Well, whaddya know! Explanation Dexter Jettster's reaction to the toxic Kaminoan saberdart which Jango Fett used to kill Zam Wesell, when Obi-Wan shows it to Dex at his diner. In 2017, this scene became a meme on r/PrequelMemes, usually as a fake surprised reaction or for something that isn't a surprise at all, and using it as a Bait-and-Switch where another character is revealed to have Dex's face.
- "That's- why I'm here."ExplanationWhen Obi-Wan finds and lands on Kamino, he is assumed by the Kaminoians to be sent by the Jedi Council to inspect the clone army, something he decides to play along with. It's used as reaction image when someone, intentionally or not, restates the reason why the poster is in the current situation.
- "200,000 units are ready, with a million more on the way."ExplanationLama Su explains how many clones were made. Used when someone gets more than expected, or just when preparing a lot of something.
- Magnificent, aren't they?ExplanationKaminoan Prime Minister Lama Su to Obi-Wan, regarding the clone army. Used in reference to other people/characters who are cloned or even Inexplicably Identical Individuals, and sometimes for similar things like shelves filled with the same toy.
- "From the moment I met you, all those years ago, not a day has gone by when I haven't thought of you. And now that I'm with you again...I'm in agony. The closer I get to you, the worse it gets. The thought of not being with you- I can't breathe. I'm haunted by the kiss that you should never have given me. My heart is beating...hoping that kiss will not become a scar. You are in my very soul, tormenting me...what can I do?- I will do anything you ask." Explanation Anakin delivers a very cheesy monologue to Padme that sounds very Shakespearean.
- "Attack of the Clones is Shakespearean." Explanation After an infamous reddit post called the above dialogue from Anakin more "Shakespeare in space" than a normal blockbuster, jokes and copypastas about other Star Wars scenes being too Shakespearean to understand (especially the worst parts of the prequels) for normal audiences went viral.
- "Yep." ExplanationWhen Taun We asks Boba if Jango Fett can speak to Obi-Wan, Boba offers a simple "Yep".
- "Possibly" ExplanationJango's response when Obi-Wan asks if he's been to Coruscant recently, the image has been used as a reaction image most commonly (such as when asked whether every line in the prequels can be used as a meme).
- "This party's over." ExplanationMace Windu's Pre-Asskicking One-Liner when the Jedi arrive to the rescue. Ocassionally used as a reaction image/line, and sometimes use to joke that Mace was crashing someone's birthday party or any similar party.
- "Your clones are very impressive, you must be very proud."ExplanationObi-Wan compliments the Kaminoans on their clone army. On Reddit, this quote is used whenever a popular post gets reposted successfully. Also used as a snowclone in the form "Your [x] is/are very impressive, you must be very proud".
- "I'm just a simple man trying to make my way in the universe" Explanation Jango's response to Obi-Wan, usually used as a response to the previous meme
- "Impossible, perhaps the archives are incomplete." ExplanationObi-Wan's reaction when he's told Kamino doesn't exist because it doesn't show up in the Jedi Archives. Used for when you can't find something you're looking for.
- "You call this a diplomatic solution?"
- "No, I call it aggressive negotiations."ExplanationDialogue between Anakin and Padmé before they engage the battle droids. Many took this as a continuation of "The negotiations were short" from the previous film.
- "I love democracy... I love the Republic."ExplanationPalpatine when accepting the emergency powers granted to him. The first part is commonly used as a reaction image to a favorable poll.
- Wat Tambor fiddling with his suit has spawned many videos on YouTube. Such as this one.
- Wat Tambor, and The Techno Union in general, have found themselves being viewed online as an organization of techno-music obsessed DJs rather than a weapons manufacturer who'd rather dance to ear-bursting music than work or fight, thanks to that aforementioned video. Expect any video or discussion about Tambor and the Techno Union to veer into jokes in reference to the video.
- "I don't think the system works."ExplanationAnakin discussing politics with Padmé, voicing disapproval for the way the Republic does things and eventually not-so-subtly foreshadowing his role in the Empire. Used to critique something that doesn't make sense or you don't agree with. It's occasionally rephrased as "I think the system works" to show approval.
- "What if I told you that the Republic was now under the control of a dark lord of the Sith?"ExplanationDooku told Obi-Wan this to plant a seed of distrust between the Jedi Order and the Galactic Senate. You can also replace Jedi and Senate with other organizations or government bodies, whether they are real or fictional, such as "What if I told you that S.H.I.E.L.D. was now under the control of HYDRA?" or "What if I told you that Star Wars was now under the control of Disney?"
- Visible confusionExplanationA subtitled scene of, well, Obi-Wan visibly confused. It's typically used as a reaction image or gif.
- Visible (insert emotion here) Explanation This one really took off and other now popular to caption characters' faces (in far more than just Star Wars) with "Visible emotion", usually between two brackets instead of quotation marks.
- "She can't do that! Shoot her, or something!"ExplanationSaid by Nute Gunray after Padmé frees herself from her chains and fights back against the nexu. Among the fandom, it has been some kind of substitute phrase for a This Is Unforgivable! situation.
- Unimpressed Dooku ExplanationAn image of Jango Fett taking off made memetic by Dooku's expression at the fact, similar to his signature look of superiority. Sometimes subtitled with "Look at you, with your fancy fucking jetpack."
- "Pack your things. We're leaving." Explanation Jango tells this to Boba in Kamino after Obi-Wan finds out that he's the bounty hunter Dooku hired to kill Padme. Often used as a reaction image to a foreign country having a desirable place or quality.
- So Palpatine needs Padme dead...Explanation In his review of the Prequel Trilogy, The Cosmonaut Variety Hour goes on a rant regarding how Palpatine sent Count Dooku, who sent Jango Fett, who sent Zam Wessel, who sent a robot, who sent bugs to go kill Padme because of a long chain of laziness, and then, when Jango has a chance to kill Padme, he instead goes out of his way to kill Zam Wessel, who he hired to assassinate Padme.
