How Star Wars Memes Became Indebted To Fascist Dictatorship
Internet memes are rewarded with popularity for their repetition of recognizable ideas. We strongly advise you to really watch the movies first, as the Star Wars jokes might spoil the joy. With a new Star Wars film being the significant cultural event that it was, even politicians tried to advantage of the unprecedented hype and excitement. Darth Vader's bad habit began on Mustafar when he choked his pregnant wife shortly before his duel with Obi-Wan.
However, like Star Wars itself, many of the memes have a darker side that can be both fun and a bit freighting at times. Memes offer a form of reconciliation between the lackluster films and the fond (childhood) memories many of us have of them nonetheless.
Either way, the most intriguing mystery we got on this last Star Wars movie was the identity of Rey. Brought back to the forefront in the closing moments of the fight at the core of Revenge of the Sith, Obi-Wan screams at Anakin that he was supposed to be the chosen one.
Anakin Skywalker: simultaneously the most evil and annoying dark side villain from the Star Wars universe. Millions of movie fans the world over have decided to cosplay as Palpetine to every convention or only show up to the theater when the new movies come out as the evilest being in the universe.
To end this montage Meme of the funniest Star Wars memes, I present to you the absolute best example of them: "Written and Directed by George Lucas." These are by far the most hilarious and probably the most stupendous of them all, sidestepping the boundary of fact and showcasing a brilliant inclusion of alternate endings that could have made the storyline much shorter.
He's a well-loved character first introduced in the original trilogy (Episode V) and whose background was explained in the prequels. While some of the more hardcore Star Wars fans had nothing nice to say about Laura Dern in the new edition of the world's most famous intergalactic opera, I must say I think she did a bang-up job.
