A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Honestly it might be the best Star wars movie, period. At least from todays perspective. The original trilogy was groundbreaking for their own time but haven't aged the best. As with many media, what was innovative 40 years ago is cliche and stale today.
The OT hasn’t aged well? Wat
Absolutely yeah when you compare it to innovative things like Madame Web
I suppose "aged badly" means something different to me: that something was socially appropriate at the time but is not any more, like overt sexism. The only thing somewhat going there is slave girl leia, though that scene ends with her strangling her oppressor. I’d say that’s at best a bit sexualized, but that’s nothing bad in my opinion. Sex positivity please
Are you saying overt sexualization isn't apart of modern Hollywood?
Sexualization and sexism are not the same thing. The former is fine (for any gender, if the role asks for it) and the latter isn’t any more, which is also great.
My only problem is the plot sucked. Like visually it looks great, but it’s kind of just loosely connected scenes that more or less copy the same story from a new hope.
Lmao. Wat.
Urgh... My love of the OT is compelling me to downvote your opinion as objectively wrong ... Must ... resist the dark side...
I always hear that. I couldn't get more than 30 seconds into the movie
Episode 8 made me unable to watch the movies. But Episode 7 killed Star wars for me though - when it came down our entire department took a half day to go together
I'll never forget walking out of that theatre, the people who only kinda liked it were happy, the guy who memorized wookepedia was disappointed, then I shared a look with my team lead, who has been a diehard fan since the originals, he's a big old school nerd.
We just shared a look of despair and loss, something we loved died that day. We'd both extensively read the extended universe, and we'd talk about it frequently. I don't think we ever brought up Star wars again after that day
Solo is the only Star Wars movie they’ve released since the OT in my opinion.
The rest tried too hard, but Solo had the YEEHAW which made Star Wars great.
I know folks hate it, but it was fun in the way Star Wars (ANH) was for me as a kid.
Rogue One?
Was a great movie, I loved it.
It was set in the Star Wars universe which I love, but my statement is more about the “yee haw hold on to your assholes” that Star Wars was before there was a Empire strikes Back even.
What I loved about Star Wars is what Solo did for me
