15 'Star Wars' Memes From The Best Part Of The Franchise

Star Wars is one of the most influential media sagas of all time. Because of this, it's impossible to spend a day online without coming across a Star Wars meme. By far, the biggest source of memes is the prequel trilogy, but there are so many moments in the originals that work just as well.

Even though these three movies aren't as packed with awkward dialogue and angsty drama as the prequels, they're almost everyone's favorite movies out of the three trilogies, and as such, more of us get the references and jokes about the originals than any other trilogy. The original series deserves its chance to show its meme potential too, even though it's often overshadowed by the prequels. After all, we have to admit those classic prequel memes tend to get tiring after a while, and we could use a change of pace. Here are 15 of our favorite memes for anyone who loves the series but is tired of seeing formats of Emperor Palpatine.
