The Anakin and Padme meme, also known as the 'For the better, right?' meme, originates from a scene in the 2002 film Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones. The format typically features four panels depicting a conversation between Anakin Skywalker and Padme Amidala in a meadow on Naboo. It began trending in mid-2021 as a way to illustrate situations where an initial optimistic statement is misinterpreted or masks a darker, more sinister truth. The humor lies in Padme’s increasingly concerned facial expression when Anakin remains silent instead of confirming her hopeful assumptions, making it a staple for political, tech, and social commentary.
