The 'I Didn't Know There Was This Much Green in the Whole Galaxy' meme originates from a scene in the 2015 film Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens. Upon arriving on the forest planet of Takodana, the protagonist Rey is visually overwhelmed by the lush vegetation, having spent her entire life on the desert planet of Jakku. This sense of awe quickly translated into internet culture as a versatile reaction image. Users typically deploy this template to express surprise at an abundance of something positive—most commonly money, a green (profitable) stock market chart, or literal nature. It captures the specific feeling of being stunned by a sudden, massive change in environment or fortune.
