What is prequel meme?

The prequel meme refers to a set of memes and internet jokes that originated from the Star Wars prequel trilogy. The prequel trilogy, consisting of Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones, and Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, was released from 1999 to 2005.

The prequel memes often involve making fun of the trilogy's dialogue, acting, and plot holes. They use a variety of characters, such as Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda, and Darth Sidious, in humorous or ironic situations. Some popular prequel memes include "it's treason then," "Hello there," and "I have the high ground."

Several prequel meme subreddits have been created, including r/prequelmemes, which has over one million subscribers. The prequel memes have also become popular on other social media platforms such as Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok.
