The 'Prepare Your Anus' meme features a zoomed-in, menacing still of Logray, the Ewok medicine man from the 1983 film Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi. The meme first gained traction on imageboards like 4chan around 2010, where users paired the unsettling expression of the Ewok with the aggressive caption to signal an impending, overwhelming, or uncomfortable situation. Over the years, it has evolved into a versatile reaction image used to mock everything from incoming video game difficulty spikes to literal physical challenges. Its longevity in internet culture is largely due to the hilarious contrast between the normally adorable Ewok species and the dark, threatening tone of the text.
