AboutWhat does the meme depict?
The meme 'For the Better, Right?' also known as the Anakin and Padme 4-Panel or Clueless Padme, is derived from the 2002 movie Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones. It features a four-panel format, where the first panel encapsulates both the setup and punchline, while the remaining panels serve auxiliary roles. The panels display Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala having a discussion. Although the depicted dialogue from the meme is fictional and not present in the actual movie, it creatively aligns with the film’s theme about Anakin's path to the dark side.
OriginWho did it first?
The meme captures a scene from a romantic picnic between characters Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala, where they discuss their conflicting views on the governance of the Galactic Republic. The meme’s captions, which do not actually appear in the film, were crafted to reflect the underlying themes of Anakin’s forthcoming transformation into a Sith. The original scene can be found in a YouTube upload by Nathanael Gratias dating back to February 4th, 2016. The meme's first documented use was through a post on Twitter (now X) by the user @starwarsposting on April 21st, 2021. The next day, the meme template was shared on the subreddit /r/memes by the Redditor DaltarIT24. This meme's dialogue setup and punchline echo a similar concept found in the Mr. Lovenstein comic 'Change,' where the characters, a Turtle and a Frog, discuss change in a humorously philosophical exchange.[1]
