Over the last four decades, Star Wars has become a cultural phenomenon. The movie franchise that first graced the big screen in the 70s has now gone on to expand into multiple sequels, spin-off movies and TV shows, books, and of course, memes (the true mark of attaining greatness in today’s pop culture). Ever since memes came into existence, Star Wars memes have been a mainstay of online humour, with fans creating and sharing hilarious images, videos and reactions to their favourite moments from the films.
What are Star Wars memes?
Some of the most popular Star Wars memes are based on the iconic ‘I am your father’ line from The Empire Strikes Back, which has been endlessly parodied to humorous effect. Another popular meme is the image of Baby Yoda from The Mandalorian, which has inspired countless hilarious videos and images featuring the adorable little green alien. Other notable Star Wars memes are based on the ‘These aren’t the droids you’re looking for’ scene from A New Hope, the ‘It’s a trap!’ line from Return of the Jedi, and the infamous ‘Prequel Memes’ based on the much-maligned Star Wars prequel trilogy. With so much rich material to draw from, it’s no wonder that these sci-fi memes continue to be a beloved part of online culture, providing fans with endless laughs and outlets for creative expression.
