Okay, before you get mad at us for indirectly insulting the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy, just hear us out. Without those 418 hours of boring dialogue and confusing plot holes, we wouldn't have the sea of dank prequel memes we have today, so in a way we're giving George Lucas a compliment. You're welcome. Whether you're a fan of the prequels or not, we're sure you'll enjoy these funny memes full of Star Wars lore.

These days, Star Wars can be a bit of a polarizing series. Many fans moan and groan about the deterioration of storytelling, how they feel rushed, and how there are tons of unresolved plot lines - not to mention straight up plot holes. Instead of lamenting the new, why not celebrate the old? The original Star Wars trilogy starring Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, and Harrison Ford is nearly always worthy of a revisit. And what better way to revisit than with a gallery of rare Polaroids from Return of the Jedi? Polaroids were utilized to preserve continuity by prop stylists, wardrobe, and the script supervisor. Generally, these photos would be destroyed after production, so we're lucky to have this amazing behind-the-scenes look at production. We've put together some of our favorites, but you can enjoy a whole lot more over at vintag.es . 

We're all about keeping our convictions, but at the end of the day life is anything but black and white. Grey areas keep things interesting. That's kind of the theme of these trending Darth Vader memes. The memes borrow a moment from the 2017 Marvel comic Star Wars: Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith 1 in which the masked villain tells Darth Sidious that he finds his new armor acceptable. It's being used to meme situations that are exceptions to our personal rules. For example: if someone calls you motherfucker - but it's Samuel L. Jackson. Let's be real. Thats 100% acceptable. We've put together some of our favorite examples of the memes, but you can learn more about the format over at Know Your Meme. Happy scrolling.

Star Wars memes will never die, and that's a fact of life. This gallery includes content from every phase of the Star Wars franchise, to keep everyone happy. Now check out this gallery if you want even more!

New Disney+ Star Wars TV series The Mandalorian premiered on Tuesday and people haven't been able to stop tweeting about "Baby Yoda." Can you blame them? He's just so goddamn cute. The catch here is that Baby Yoda isn't actually Yoda at all, but rather of the same species. Either way, people are positively freaking over him, and we don't blame them.

There are a whole lot of trilogies out there, but not many of them appeal to us or have as much staying power as the original Indiana Jones films. It's really hard to go wrong with epic archaeological adventures and the eternal hunkiness of Harrison Ford.These memes combine these epic movies with some seriously relatable jokes. Almost as fun as sitting down for a marathon. Almost. 

The official Star Wars YouTube channel just published a short sneak peak video for the upcoming new film, The Rise of Skywalker and all anyone can talk about is "Dark Rey" and "Red-Eyed C-3PO," who looks like he just smoked a sh*tload of weed. 

As a result, the Twitter reactions have exceeded our expectations - you definitely won't be disappointed with what we found below!

After a whole bunch of Star Wars fans called for The Last Jedi to be remade, video essayist Jonathan McIntosh decided to school them on why their reading of the movie may have been completely off-base. The Twitter thread will definitely surprise you!

Illustrator Livio Ramondelli recently tweeted that before George Lucas sold the Star Wars franchise to Disney, he had his own ideas about what he wanted to do with the sequels. Disney ultimately ended up rejecting his ideas, but fans have developed their own thoughts about them - some good and some not so!

If you're here for Infinity War memes, you're looking in Alderaan places.

Sorry, George. You would not be winning Top Chef.

In this collection of comics, Cartoonist Cheekylicious has depicted our favorite filmmakers as chef's, and the final products are clever and amusing. We especially like that Michael Bay's penchant for gratuitous explosions is represented as a Paula Deen-style calorie bomb of a meal. 

Before Star Wars was ripped from his wonderful creative grasp by that fascist mouse, Lucas was well on his way to making Star Wars better than anyone had ever dreamed possible. A long line of brilliant changes and directorial decision making had brought the series to new creative heights. The brilliant character design of Jar Jar Binks and intuitive dialogue had us excited for more of what Lucas had to offer. Decisions like retroactively making Greedo shoot first only added depth to existing characters. 

'Glum George Lucas' is a wonderful insight into what could have been had Disney not seized the reigns of Star Wars.

You ready? We're almost as excited as young Anakin over here.
