THE ABILITY TO SPEAK DOES NOT MAKE YOU INTELLIGENT MEME MAKER

ORIGIN & LORE

This meme originates from the 1999 film Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace. It occurs early in the movie when Qui-Gon Jinn (played by Liam Neeson) rescues Jar Jar Binks and delivers the crushing line after Jar Jar claims his ability to talk should have earned him more respect. On the internet, it has become the ultimate 'shut down' response for anyone making a confident but factually incorrect or illogical statement. It is a staple of the r/PrequelMemes community and is frequently used in debates, comment sections, and social media threads to mock people who speak without thinking.
