Sometimes I think about the poor, innocent Star Wars fans in 1978, eagerly gathering around their 12-inch TV sets for what they thought would be the ultimate continuation of their favorite galaxy far, far away . Imagine the anticipation— Star Wars was the only thing they had known. No streaming, no home video, just that one perfect movie they’d seen over and over in theaters. And now, finally, an all-new adventure was coming straight to their living rooms. What did they get instead? Nearly two…

I'm into Star Wars , but I'm also pretty hooked on Star Trek. I'm a fan of Harry Potter, can't get enough of Marvel, but I also appreciate DC. I'm all in for The Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, and Doctor Who, and let's not forget Dungeons and Dragons. Then there's The Witcher, Pokémon, Zelda, and Super Mario, and I can't leave out Dragon Ball, Naruto, Stranger Things, The Mandalorian, Battlestar Galactica, and Firefly . I also enjoy Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Avatar: The Last Airbender, The…

I'm not saying I'm old, but I vividly remember watching Return of the Jedi in theaters as a wide-eyed kid, completely blown away by speeder bikes and Ewoks. From that moment on, Star Wars wasn't just a movie series to me—it was the series. I begged my parents for the original trilogy on VHS and pretty much wore them out from non-stop rewatches. My room was a shrine to the galaxy far, far away : toys, books, posters, even the John Williams soundtrack on vinyl. Star Wars was life. Then the preque…

Carrie Fisher was my first celebrity crush. I remember seeing her as Princess Leia in Return of the Jedi when I was just 11 years old, and I was immediately smitten. It wasn’t just her looks (though that famous gold bikini scene certainly played a part for a young kid like me); it was her attitude—brave, sharp, and somehow still kind. She had a way of making everything she did seem effortlessly cool. I never stopped loving Carrie Fisher, and not just for her role in Star Wars . Over the years,…

General Kenobi! You might recognize him as the Jedi Master with the best one-liners in the galaxy . Obi-Wan Kenobi memes are truly a gift that keeps on giving—whether it’s the iconic ‘Hello there,’ the eternal high ground debate, or his glorious sass towards Anakin. For us Star Wars fans, Obi-Wan represents more than just a Jedi; he's a master of wit, a tactical genius, and let’s be honest, a meme legend. The memes on this list capture his humor, wisdom, and yes, even his undeniable ability to…

Help, my brain is melting into Fanta.

Resistance to these memes is futile

Being kind of an old geezer, I grew up on the original trilogy. I saw " Return of the Jedi " in the cinema when I was 7 and was completely hooked ever since. I made my parents buy the first two movies on VHS (which I wore out from watching on repeat). I also had the illustrated books, the toys, the soundtrack on vinyl, and whatever else Star Wars I could get my hands on. So when the prequels arrived, I was already too old to enjoy them for what they are—fantasy movies for kids, just like the or…

"Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The memelord? I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. he's a meme legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the meme, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the Internet culture to create jokes… He had such a knowledge of the meme side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from having the sad. The meme side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be… hilarious. He became so powe…
