About

Hold On, This Whole Operation Was Your Idea is a famous line uttered by Anakin Skywalker to Obi-Wan Kenobi in the 2005 movie Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. The line grew popular in the Prequel Memes community online, especially as a reaction image and retort toward situations in which people seem to switch blame or not account for their own behavior.

Origin

The line itself is said by Anakin Skywalker (played by Hayden Christensen) during a conversation with Obi-Wan Kenobi (played by Ewan McGregor). The line was uploaded to YouTube as early as 2020 (shown below).

One of the earliest known examples of the meme was posted to /r/prequelmemes[1] by Redditor yohtha on August 5th, gaining over 750 points in three and a half years (shown below, left). On August 29th, Redditor thacarter72 posted an example to the subreddit[2] referencing the Storm Area 51 event, gaining over 1,600 points in three and a half years (shown below, right)
