Starting on January 8th, 2019, /r/PrequelMemes users posted several other posts copying this format titled "Bless you, [name of the actor]". Redditor[2] Totallyn0tAcake posted a captioned image of actor Ewan McGregor saying that the scene of the duel between Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi was filmed by accident. In another post by Redditor[3] jamesyounggg, actor Ian McDiarmid stated that he lunged at Samuel L Jackson in a 720 degree spin after the latter "called him a bitch on set".
