We're not sure if we love or hate how completely ridiculous these Star Wars shitposts are, but we're going to let you be the judge. We're still busy being amazed that the terrible prequel films have been reborn in meme form. We're here for it.

Most memes have a pretty short life expectancy. They can wither away into obscurity in a matter of days. Not these Star Wars prequel memes. We're beginning to think they are immortal.

Star Wars fans, rejoice! We're coming at you with another freshly harvested batch of prequel memes. 

It's not often that clickbait does anything more than elicit eye-rolls or lamentation from most of us, but today we're happy to say this is not the case. We're here to thank The Daily Mirror for composing a tweet so incredibly clickbait-y that Twitter has turned the damn thing into a meme. To promote a piece about a Tinder love-connection gone wrong, the publication tweeted the following: 

"Woman's perfect Tinder date with 'The One' shattered by five simple words."

It's a pretty histrionic title, especially when considering the five words: "Stay away from my boyfriend." Her supposed Prince Charming was not, in fact, an eligible bachelor. The spicy yet vague headline immediately put Twitter to work. Social media jokesters started to tweet five words that would leave them shook - and the rest is history. We'll keep our politics to ourselves, but Julia Carver's (now deleted) tweet is on point. This website could never love someone who doesn't get down with some Popeyes. 

We've been seeing a lot of Last Jedi memes in the months since its release, which almost makes up for how "meh" we found the film to be.This particular example has been kicking around since the film's first trailer. The meme uses a quote of Luke uttering "I've seen this raw strength only once before" to mock characters that most people would be decidedly unafraid of. 

Memes that will make you wince, cringe and laugh 'til you cry.

Steven Lear has been creating awesome album cover mashups for years - but most of his work features the Star Wars universe. He painstakingly recreates classic (and some more obscure) album art to include our favorite fandom characters. The results are often funny, and sometimes just beautiful. We've included a selection of our personal favorites, but there's much more to admire on Lear's Instagram.

This is where the fun begins.

Twitter heroes @TheUnlikelyGame teamed up with @HashtagRoundup yesterday to kick off a hilarious hashtag game. The object? To come up with the best and funniest "unlikely Star Wars spin-offs." The results are pure gold, combining the sci-fi universe with series such as Walking Dead, Batman, and bizarrely enough, Laverne and Shirley.
