The 'Ben Swolo' meme originated from a scene in the 2017 film Star Wars: The Last Jedi, featuring a shirtless Kylo Ren (played by Adam Driver) with a remarkably broad torso and high-waisted pants. Following the film's release, the internet exploded with edits emphasizing his wide physique, eventually coining the name 'Ben Swolo' as a pun on his birth name, Ben Solo, and the slang term 'swole.' It became a sensation across Twitter and Reddit, sparking the #BenSwoloChallenge where fans mimicked the shirtless, high-waisted look. The meme is typically used to represent excessive physical dominance, awkward cinematic moments, or to mock hyper-masculinity through absurdly wide image stretching.
