The 'Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker' memes primarily revolve around the film's polarizing plot points and dialogue. The most famous iteration is the 'Somehow, Palpatine returned' line delivered by Poe Dameron, which quickly became an internet shorthand for lazy writing or unexpected, poorly explained plot twists. Other popular templates include Rey identifying herself as 'Rey Skywalker' and Kylo Ren’s 'I know what I have to do' monologue. These memes are widely used to criticize illogical events in pop culture, politics, or daily life, serving as a humorous way to express disbelief at improbable scenarios or sudden, unexplained reappearances.
