History Memes / RevengeOfTheSith

* "Soon I will have a new apprentice; one far younger and more powerful." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Darth Sidious downplays the loss of Dooku to Grievous by hinting at his plans to turn Anakin to the dark side. Often became a response to someone getting a younger lover or something similar.[[/labelnote]]

** "Where is Padme? Is she safe? Is she alright?"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Vader, having been put into his suit, asks Palpatine what happened to Padme, unaware of her death by childbirth; him finding this out leads to the line above. This became a response when anyone asks about something while others are aware if the fate it suffered.[[/labelnote]]

* "Only a Sith deals in absolutes." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Obi-Wan responding to Anakin, ignoring the fact that this very line ''is'' an absolute. "Only a Sith is so extremist," the less incoherent variation used in the European Spanish dub, was used for a long time in Spain in lighthearted political debates to point out a sign of ideological zealotry.[[/labelnote]]

* "YouFool I've been trained in your [X] arts by Count Dooku!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Grievous says this right before his duel against Obi-Wan. People just replace the "Jedi" in "Jedi arts" with whatever the topic is. It's also often jokingly wondered how the hell Dooku trained Grievous, as Grievous's fighting style is nothing like Dooku's, and seems to mostly consist of swinging at the opponent a bunch with four lightsabers while twirling his wrists a lot. Perhaps Dooku taught him the art of spinning?[[/labelnote]]

* "Not to worry, we're still flying half a ship." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Obi-Wan's line when Grievous's ship get ripped in half. Used for other situations where half of something is gone, or commenting on ShipSinking.[[/labelnote]]

* The Senate's NewEraSpeech establishing TheEmpire and how the internet responds to it. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Go on any Website/YouTube video of the speech. [[DrinkingGame Take a shot]] for every comment comparing some politician or their speech to the Senate or this speech. (Bonus shot if it's a video related to ''UsefulNotes/TheRomanRepublic transitioning to ''UsefulNotes/TheRomanEmpire''--especially {{Creator/HBO}}'s ''Series/Rome''). You'll develop alcohol poisoning before the night's out.[[/labelnote]]

** "Dew It!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]The way the Senate enunciates sounds like this alternative spelling, which has spawned its own memes involving the Senate and Mountain Dew.[[/labelnote]]

* Obi-Wan's line "Oh, I don't think so." is commonly used either to debunk any thing that happens, or part of a reaction when people think something will happen.

''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' may be ''the'' most memetic of all ''Star Wars'' films, especially after the memes got a massive surge in early 2017. An [[https://www.reddit.com/r/PrequelMemes/ entire subreddit]] was created just for them and other prequel memes. Obi-Wan in particular is a FountainOfMemes, though Palpatine/Sidious, The Senate and Anakin are no slouches either.

** [[PreAssKickingOneLiner "It's treason, then."]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]The Senate says this to the assembled Jedi Masters, followed by an obvious CGI spinning corkscrew leap over his desk toward the Jedi while making a weird gargling sound like he has heartburn. The line gets quoted and the corkscrew leap gets giffed for separate purposes. It's also informally known as "the Sheevspin", possibly even being combined with the explanation that he decided to try spinning because it's a good trick.[[/labelnote]]

** "I'm too weak." [[labelnote:Explanation]]When Windu manages to reflect his force lightning, The Senate [[WoundedGazelleGambit plays helpless]] to convince Anakin to intervene and help him. Is often used when some pretends to be [[PlayingSick sick]] or otherwise helpless in a certain situation.[[/labelnote]]

[[folder:Memes quoting Palpatine, The Senate]]

** "Dew It!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]The way the Senate enunciates sounds like this alternative spelling, which has spawned its own memes involving The Senate and Mountain Dew.[[/labelnote]]

* "Are you threatening me, Master Jedi?" [[labelnote:Explanation]]The Senate's response to Mace Windu placing him under arrest, typically followed by Mace's response, "The Senate will decide your fate."[[/labelnote]]
** "[[IAmTheNoun I]] ''[[IAmTheNoun am]]'' [[IAmTheNoun the Senate!]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]The Senate's response to Mace's "The Senate will decide your fate." People joke that he means it literally and call him "the Senate" or have him refer to himself as such, hence why this folder refers to Palpatine as the Senate.[[/labelnote]]
** "[[PunctuatedForEmphasis Not. Yet.]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Mace's deadpan response to "I ''am'' the Senate".[[/labelnote]]

* "Henceforth, you shall be known as Darth... ''[insert random word]''" [[labelnote:Explanation]]The Senate dramatically pauses in the middle of renaming Anakin as a Sith Lord. Used for parodies of this scene with words rhyming with "Vader", The Senate having trouble thinking of a name, or The Senate giving new names to other people.[[/labelnote]]

* The Senate's NewEraSpeech establishing TheEmpire and how the internet responds to it. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Go on any Website/YouTube video of the speech. [[DrinkingGame Take a shot]] for every comment comparing some politician or their speech to The Senate or this speech. You'll develop alcohol poisoning before the night's out.[[/labelnote]]

* "I have brought peace, freedom, justice, and security to my new Empire!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Vader says this to Obi-Wan, referring to joining the dark side and intending to seize The Senate's power for himself. People sometimes use this to express a mistaken belief about succeeding in one thing when actually succeeding at the opposite, or simply to say they won.[[/labelnote]]

* [[LameComeback "From my point of view, the Jedi are evil!"]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Vader's response to Obi-Wan saying The Senate is evil.[[/labelnote]]

* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWdWsaZTHqo What about the droid attack on the Wookiees?]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]] Ki-Adi-Mundi asks this of the other Jedi Council members when debating priorities as the war ends, which leads to Yoda being off-planet for Anakin's turn to Vader and The Senate issuing Order 66. Defending the Wookiees against the droids [[{{Filler}} ends up contributing almost nothing to the plot of the movie]] other than a convenient reason for Yoda to leave Coruscant. Ki-Adi-Mundi's question is treated as laughably useless or mind-blowingly important in jokes; usually the focus is on the fact that only one character managed to think of it. The quote is used to jokingly butt into conversations with a nonsequitur to what's currently being talked about.[[/labelnote]]

%%* "You two careful, he is a big." [[labelnote:Explanation]]This was the translation of The Senate warning Obi-Wan and Anakin of Dooku approaching.[[/labelnote]]

* "Did you heard the tragedy that reach the man?" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Translation of the famous scene where The Senate tells Anakin the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise. Quoting the entire translation is a copypasta.[[/labelnote]]

''Revenge of the Sith'' may be ''the'' most memetic of all ''Star Wars'' films, especially after the memes got a massive surge in early 2017. An [[https://www.reddit.com/r/PrequelMemes/ entire subreddit]] was created just for them and other prequel memes. Obi-Wan in particular is a FountainOfMemes, though The Senate and Anakin are no slouches either.

Palpatine is a FountainOfMemes:
* "Kill him. Kill him now." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Palpatine calmly tells Anakin to kill Count Dooku to kickstart his fall to the Dark Side. The line may be used as a joking response of anger or disapproval.[[/labelnote]]
* '''"DO IT!"''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]When Anakin has Count Dooku at his mercy, Palpatine orders Anakin to kill him in a very forceful way. Used since the film as a reaction gif to urge someone to do... well, it. The line got a CallBack in ''Film/TheRiseOfSkywalker''.[[/labelnote]]
** "Dew It!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]The way Palpatine enunciates sounds like this alternative spelling, which has spawned its own memes involving The Senate and Mountain Dew.[[/labelnote]]
* "Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Palpatine tells Anakin a story about his late Sith master, occasionally interspersed with questions from Anakin, to tempt him into craving Plagueis's knowledge. It's full of quotable lines that have become memes. Quoting Palpatine's entire monologue (minus Anakin's lines) has evolved into a general copypasta.[it's also used sometimes to mean when someone has a story they really like to tell over and over, with something else over the bit about "darth plagus the wise".[[/labelnote]]

** "To create... ''life''." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Palpatine explains to Anakin that Plagueis could create life by manipulating the Force. His DramaticPause has delightful NarmCharm. The quote is repurposed, such as responding to an OverprotectiveDad: "[[PapaWolf What do you want with my daughter]]?" // "[[SarcasticConfession To create...]] ''[[BrutalHonesty life]]''."[[/labelnote]]
** "The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be ''unnatural''." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Palpatine's response when Anakin asks "He could actually save people from death?" Usually used as a stab at various {{Fandom}}s and subcommunities, or a humorous response about unorthodox education methods.[[/labelnote]]

** "Ironic; he could save others from death, but not himself." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Palpatine talks about Plagueis's apprentice (The Senate) killing him in his sleep despite his power to protect others from death. The Senate's smirk is used in memes involving irony. Often shortened simply to "Ironic" and his expression at the moment.[[/labelnote]]
** "Is it possible to learn this power?" // "Not from a Jedi." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Anakin's question about learning to save loved ones from a certain death, and Palpatine's response. The dialogue or either character's quote is usually used in the context of doing something illegal.[[/labelnote]]

* "Are you threatening me, Master Jedi?" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Palpatine's response to Mace Windu placing him under arrest, typically followed by Mace's response, "The Senate will decide your fate."[[/labelnote]]

* "[[MyGodWhatHaveIDone What have I done?!]]"[[labelnote:Explanation]][[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyJNEZPm-pQ Said by him]] after he helps Chancellor Palpatine kill Mace Windu. Often used as a reaction of disbelief[=/=]regret over... well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin doing something]].[[/labelnote]]

* "Because of Obi-Wan?" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Anakin says this when Padme realises Anakin really has turned to the dark side and cannot follow him. Became a meme mostly thanks to how popular Obi-Wan is.[[/labelnote]]

* "So this is how liberty dies, with a thunderous applause." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Padme's response to The Senate declaring the Republic is now an empire.[[/labelnote]]

The Chinese bootleg version of the film, known as ''[[WebVideo/BackstrokeOfTheWest Star War the Third Gathers: Backstroke of the West]]'', has spawned a bunch of memes due to its [[TranslationTrainWreck hilariously bad English translations]]. The memes increased when it was adapted into a GagDub.

** "[[IAmTheNoun I]] ''[[IAmTheNoun am]]'' [[IAmTheNoun the Senate!]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]The Senate's response to Mace's "The Senate will decide your fate." People joke that he means it literally and call him "the Senate" or have him refer to himself as such.[[/labelnote]]

Used for parodies of this scene with words rhyming with "Vader", The Senate having trouble thinking of a name, or The Senate giving new names to other people.[[/labelnote]]
