The 'Luke Crywalker' meme, also known as the 'Luke Skywalker Noooo' meme, originates from the climactic scene in Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back. After Darth Vader reveals his true identity as Luke's father, Luke reacts with a visceral, agonized scream while clinging to a ledge in Cloud City. This image has become the internet's go-to reaction for moments of profound disappointment, shocking revelations, or simply finding out that a weekend is over. Its popularity stems from the raw emotion and the universally recognizable cinematography of one of cinema's greatest twists, making it a staple in pop culture commentary.
