The 'You Were The Chosen One!' meme originates from the climactic final duel in 'Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith.' After defeating his former apprentice Anakin Skywalker on the volcanic planet Mustafar, Obi-Wan Kenobi delivers a heartbreaking monologue expressing his deep disappointment and sense of betrayal. The scene, featuring Ewan McGregor's emotional performance, became an instant classic within the Star Wars prequel fandom. It is widely used across social media to represent situations where someone or something failed to meet high expectations, turned to the 'dark side,' or let down a community that believed in them. The meme often pairs the quote with captions about failed tech, disappointing sequels, or broken promises.
