* "Hello there!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]A CallForward to Alec Guinness's Obi-Wan in ''Film/ANewHope'', but made infamous by Ewan [=McGregor=] humorously rising up into frame like a prairie dog. Makes a great greeting![[/labelnote]]

* Grievous separating his arms to multi-wield. [[labelnote:Explanation]]In the film, Grievous splits his two arms into four to wield four lightsabers at once. This is edited into even more arms and lightsabers, or items other than lightsabers. There is also a version where Grievous twirls the lightsabers wrong and [[TooDumbToLive cuts himself to pieces]].[[/labelnote]]
** A mutated version in 2020 started as a RunningGag by Reddit user u/[=Thibson34=] where he would take a picture of Grievous wielding his lightsabers and add one unique lightsaber (and arm) every day, before culminating in [[https://youtu.be/HZvVjV9I4ZU this video]].

''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.

* "Kenobi! I'm back!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Grievous says this in the YoutubePoop [[https://youtu.be/hv3AgmaAohk?t=56 The Tragedy of Darth Sand]] by ''Creator/AlpacaHawk'', when he [[Memes/TheRiseOfSkywalker somehow]] comes back to life. Used when discussing [[EpilepticTrees the potential of Grievous coming back]] in a post-''Revenge of the Sith'' movie or show.[[/labelnote]]

[[folder: Memes Quoting General Grievous]]
'''Grievous:'''

* "We have recieved a report from Master Kenobi. He has engaged General Grievous."[[labelnote:Explanation]]Anakin says this to the Senate before discovering that he is a Sith Lord. Some memes play off this and have Obi-Wan ''literally'' engage (as in, [[CrackPairing ask to marry]]) Grievous.[[/labelnote]]

[[folder:Memes quoting other characters]]
'''Padme:'''
* "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]]
** At least it didn't die of sadness. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Used in response to the above moment to mock Padme dying over the grief Anakin's turn to the Dark Side made her feel.[[/labelnote]]
* "You're going to kill him, aren't you?" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Padmé says this after Obi-Wan asks her about Anakin's whereabouts. This is usually as a response when someone is asked about their enemy's whereabouts, or edited into a setting where AnyoneCanDie (such as ''Series/GameOfThrones'') or when fans suspect that a [[TheBusCameBack Bus Came Back]] character [[BackForTheDead only returns to be killed]] (such as when Lando was announced to return in ''The Rise of Skywalker'').[[/labelnote]]
* [[ThatMakesMeFeelAngry "Anakin... you're breaking my heart!"]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Padmé responding to her husband, now Darth Vader, when he wants her to join him in ruling. Creator/NataliePortman's delivery of the line and the line itself are mocked.[[/labelnote]]
** Following this up with Anakin saying something like: "Don't be silly, Padmé. [[BlackComedy It's pronounced ‘neck']]!"

* "Into exile, I must go. Failed, I have!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Yoda says this to Bail Organa after being unable to kill Palpatine in their duel, made memetic by Yoda's signature [[StrangeSyntaxSpeaker Strange-Syntax Speaking]]. Often used when someone does something embarrassing that they regret.[[/labelnote]]

* "Good, [[PrideBeforeAFall twice the pride, double the fall]]." [[labelnote:Explanation]] As Anakin says to Count Dooku that his strength has doubled since they had last met, Dooku responds with this line. It's often used with other characters portrayed by Creator/ChristopherLee, such as [[Film/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory Wilbur Wonka]] and [[Film/TheManWithTheGoldenGun Francisco Scaramanga]].[[/labelnote]]

** "General Kenobi!" *ignites four lightsabers* [[labelnote:Explanation]]A trimmed down version of the above reply. It's a common meme for any recipient of a "Hello there!" to immediately gain two extra arms and ignite several lightsabers similar to Grievous.[[/labelnote]]

* "Kenobi! I'm back!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Grievous says this in the YoutubePoop [[https://youtu.be/hv3AgmaAohk?t=56 The Tragedy of Darth Sand]] by ''[=AlpacaHawk=]'', when he [[Memes/TheRiseOfSkywalker somehow]] comes back to life.

** The appropriate response: "General Kenobi!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Responding to gifs of the above scene or to ''any'' "Hello there!" with part or all of Grievous's response to Obi-Wan: "Ah, General Kenobi, you are a bold one!" Grievous's line can also be used on its own, such as replacing "General Kenobi" to call someone a "bold one"[[/labelnote]]
** "Ah, General [insert word that rhymes with "Kenobi"], you are a bold one!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]For instance, "General Reposti!" is used to call out reposters on Reddit.[[/labelnote]]

* "A Sith ''Lord''"? [[labelnote:Explanation]]Mace Windu's incredulous reaction when Anakin reports his discovery that Palpatine is the Sith Lord they've been looking for. Sometimes gets mutated into Sith ''Lawd''.[[/labelnote]]

* "Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Stems from a combination of Anakin's childhood nickname, Ani, and lines in the Music/MichaelJackson song "Smooth Criminal". The meme shows Palpatine standing over the charred and burned Anakin/Vader from ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' while asking him this.[[/labelnote]]

* "A Sith ''Lord''"? [[labelnote:Explanation]]Mace Windu's incredulous reaction when Anakin reports his discovery that Palaptine is the Sith Lord they've been looking for. Sometimes gets mutated into Sith ''Lawd''.[[/labelnote]]

* Obi-Wan's a Sith Lord? [[labelnote:Explanation]]Before their final confrontation, Anakin tells Obi-Wan "If you're not with me, then you're my enemy!", and Obi-Wan, "Only a Sith deals in absolutes!" Since Obi-Wan's statement is itself an absolute ("''Only'' a Sith"), people joke he's confessing to being a Sith himself.[[/labelnote]]

* "Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Stems from a combination of Anakin's childhood nickname, Ani, and lines in the Music/MichaelJackson song "Smooth Criminal". The meme shows Palaptine standing over the charred and burned Anakin/Vader from ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' while asking him this.[[/labelnote]]

* "Your [X] will make a ''fine'' addition to my collection." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Grievous' boast about taking Obi-Wan and Anakin's lightsaber; he opens his cloak to reveal only ''one'' lightsaber and a FreezeFrameBonus shows only two more, making him look like rather a novice collector. Used as a reaction for anything that would make a fine addition to a collection.[[/labelnote]]

* "You're going to kill him, aren't you?" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Padmé says this after Obi-Wan asks her about Anakin's whereabouts. This is usually as a response when someone is asked about their enemy's whereabouts, or edited into a setting where AnyoneCanDie (such as ''Series/GameOfThrones'') or when fans suspect that a [[TheBusCameBack Bus Came Back]] character [[BackForTheDead only returns to be killed]] (such as when Lando was announced to return in ''The Rise of Skywalker'').[[/labelnote]]
* [[ThatMakesMeFeelAngry "Anakin... you're breaking my heart!"]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Padmé responding to her husband, now Darth Vader, when he wants her to join him in ruling. Creator/NataliePortman's delivery of the line and the line itself are mocked.[[/labelnote]]
** Following this up with Anakin saying something like: "Don't be silly, Padmé. [[BlackComedy It's pronounced ‘neck']]!"

* "A Sith ''Lord''"? [[labelnote:Explanation]]Mace Windu's incredulous reaction when Anakin reports his discovery that Palaptine is the Sith Lord they've been looking for. Sometimes gets mutated into Sith ''Lawd''.[[/labelnote]]
* "It is critical we send an attack group there immediately."[[labelnote:Explanation]]Mace Windu's response to Ki-Adi-Mundi bringing up the droid attack on the Wookiees is to decide that they need reinforcements. Used online as a rallying call to show support for a cause/media piece.[[/labelnote]]

** "To create... ''life''." [[labelnote:Explanation]]The Senate 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]]

* "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? It is, after all, a good trick.[[/labelnote]]

** "[[IAmTheNoun I]] ''[[IAmTheNoun am]]'' [[IAmTheNoun the Senate!]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]The Senate's response to Windu'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]]

*** Apparently so memetic that it's directly called back to in ''Film/TheRiseOfSkywalker'' when Palpatine repeats his own line. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The Senate quotes himself to {{hand wave}} how he escaped his own apparent death. This newer version is used to explain how other characters survive their apparent deaths with no explanation.[[/labelnote]]
** "Ironic; he could save others from death, but not himself." [[labelnote:Explanation]]The Senate talks about Plagueis's apprentice (The Senate himself) 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]]

* "Good, [[PrideBeforeAFall twice the pride, double the fall]]." [[labelnote:Explanation]] As Anakin says to Count Dooku that his strength has doubled since they had last met, Dooku responds with this line. It's often used with other characters portrayed by Creator/ChristopherLee, such as [[Film/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory Wiblur Wonka]] and [[Film/TheManWithTheGoldenGun Francisco Scaramanga]].[[/labelnote]]

** Similar edits with other characters, such as Darth Maul having ''thirty-nine'' lightsaber blades.
