The 'Offensive Star Wars' memes originated on the meme app iFunny, originally posted by user 'Nile' with an image of general grievous questioning the "six million" from World War II. The image became popular on the site after becoming the top comment on a featured post with over three thousand likes, with the original image gaining 2 thousand likes before being removed by iFunny moderators. The post sparked multiple other users such as 'AnimeHub' to begin doing voice impressions of popular Star Wars characters, typically from the Dark Side, saying similar sentences such as Kylo Ren claiming the six million number is 'far fetched'.
