Sithposting is a subgenre of Star Wars memes that focuses on the villainous characters, primarily from the Prequel Trilogy, characterized by a specific brand of chaotic and ironic humor. While it traces its roots back to early image boards and Facebook groups like Sithspanion, it gained massive mainstream traction through the r/PrequelMemes community. These memes often weaponize quotes from Chancellor Palpatine, Darth Vader, and Kylo Ren to mock everyday situations or provide meta-commentary on the franchise itself. The essence of Sithposting lies in the edgy yet absurd celebration of the Dark Side, frequently utilizing low-effort aesthetics or dramatic dialogue to highlight the absurdity of the Sith's grand plans.
