Prequel memes will always be favorites among the whole meme community. Not everyone prefers the prequels over the original Star Wars trilogy, but we can all agree that the best memes come from Anakin Skywalker's three-movie evolution into Darth Vader, especially since we have tons of quotable dialogue from those movies that are almost too strange to exist in their original form but hold up much better when they're mocked online.

There's also something about Anakin's mannerisms as a very angsty young adult that makes him an amusing character at times, even though we can admit that people his age tend to act like that normally, so it's not that unusual until he starts randomly murdering people, which is always the wildest part of the prequels. Plus, those movies are objectively way better than the sequels, so we might as well not complain about these being the best memes out there. Here are 25 of our favorite recent prequel memes to remind you why we always make so many dark jokes about dead younglings.
