obi-wan kenobi

May the fourth be with you! It's that special day of year when Star Wars fanatics and meme-freaks alike join forces to celebrate Star Wars memes. We've got a decent batch content here full of punny Star Wars gags and lore for the true nerds. 

Today Disney announced the all-star cast of their coming Star Wars spinoff, Obi-Wan Kenobi, which includes the return of Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen. Although the Star Wars prequel trilogy has garnered some brutally negative reviews over the years, McGregor as young Kenobi is beloved by many different kinds of Star Wars fans, and so it's no surprise that the cast announcement has been received well on social media. Whether you're stoked about the new series or would rather not be reminded that the prequels exist, there's one thing we can all get behind, and that's memes. We've put together some of our favorite Kenobi memes for all the Star Wars fans out there and we honestly can't wait for all the new memes the show is bound to inspire. 

Whether you loved the original trilogy, prequels, sequels, or the Mandalorian, we've got memes for every kind of Star Wars nerd out there. Some of our personal favorites are the crossover memes, or the ones that simply use familiar stills as a format to tell a totally unrelated joke. Some killjoys out there might argue that Star Wars memes are passé. Well sucks for them, 'cause we've got the high ground.

The internet certainly has a weird obsession with Obi-Wan Kenobi - one could say it's even become a bit of a cult following. But at the end of the day, we're not mad about it, because it's give us some excellent memes. Now scroll down for the Obi Wan-specific memes, and then head on over to eBaum's World for some more generic Star Wars content!

Star Wars: The Phantom Menace was pretty much seen as the worst movie ever for quite a long time, but has fairly recently turned into somewhat of a cult movie. Warning: these memes and sh*tposts are extremely dumb, but that's exactly how we like them. In case you're in the mood for more generic Star Wars memes, we've got you covered.

If you love Star Wars and are a total coffee addict, boy, do we have a thread for you. Twitter user @ViWiWrites blessed the site yesterday with a pretty comprehensive thread that pairs your favorite sci-fi heroes with what she believes to be their preferred method of making and drinking coffee. It may not be backed by George Lucas, but we have to say these tweets strike us as pretty damn accurate.

Some people want to pretend the Star Wars sequels didn't exist. Others are more perturbed by the prequels. Whatever your stance, there's probably one thing we all can agree on: Star Wars memes will never go out of style. And we've got a crapload of 'em right here.

We post a lot of Star Wars shitposts and dank memes, but this post is dedicated to our main man Obi-Wan Kenobi. This badass MF is in enough Star Wars movies and shows for us to say he's a serious MVP where sassy memes are concerned. Here are some of his finest moments of trolling gold.

There are some memes that just NEVER get old, and Star Wars memes (whether they're prequel or sequel memes) definitely fall into that category. These examples are particularly dank, with some extra fresh memes mixed in. Chances are that even if you're not the nerdiest fan, there will be more than a few jokes for you to chuckle at.

Writer Dennis DiClaudio pointed out on Twitter a pretty major flaw in the Jedi robes in the Star Wars universe, and it's sparked a good old-fashioned Twitter debate!

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.

Our favorite Star Wars shitposting subreddit hit a home run a few weeks ago with these memes. The r/prequelmemessubreddit went particularly meta with these Obi-Wan memes. The macros, which feature Ewan McGregor saying "Always on the move," have been used to make jokes about history, mundane and relatable moments - and the r/prequelmemes subreddit itself. The memes are pretty good, and we wouldn't be surprised if the format made a comeback. After all, prequel memes never die.
