Sometimes a meme template comes along that seems to be able to tickle you for longer than most. Where others burn bright for a day or two, these special creations keep the endless doom scrolling through social media that is the working week at least an occasionally light-hearted affair. For me, this has most recently been the ‘Anakin and Padme’/’For the better, right?’ meme. It’s based on a line of dialogue never actually spoken in the film, but the source of the meme is Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones. Specifically, this scene:
I just cannot get enough of the memes that this scene has spawned. They just don’t stop. It’s wave after wave of goodness. So out of the goodness of my heart I’ve saved a bunch here to share. Please, enjoy:
