Why Is This Meme So Popular?

One of the reasons that people seem drawn to this meme is that the line sounds funny when quoted on its own. The way the dialogue is written is lightly clunk. For example, rather than saying “Have you heard of,” Palpatine says “Did you ever hear the tragedy of.” The sentence structure gives the phrase some natural humor.

This meme is also popular because it’s applicable in a lot of situations. Like many of the most popular memes, it has a lot of versatility, which means people have opportunities to use the meme on a regular basis.

Will This Meme Remain Popular?

Even though the prequel films concluded more than a decade ago, these memes are just as popular as they were when the films were brand new. It seems like all of the memes from these films have an enduring popularity. You can expect to see people using these memes for many years to come.

The Darth Plagueis meme is one of the most popular prequel memes, and it’s easy to understand why. There is a lot to enjoy about this meme. Whether you’re a Star Wars fan or not, these memes are something that everyone can enjoy.
