I work in HR; when I interview I always start the meeting with "Hello there". If the candidate responds with "General Kenobi" they get the job, no matter what. I have hired three people who were useless purely based on this.

Obi-Wan with a Zamboni, Jon Bon Jovi, trombone, cannoli and ravioli; Grievous replies “General zamboni bon tramboni jovi cannoli ravioli!”.

The expected name unravels into a pile of similar sounds, and the collage obligingly illustrates the nonsense. Knowing “General Kenobi” is enough to hear the wrong reply before you finish reading it. This is an edited line, not film dialogue.

Embedded credits retained.

Three Obi-Wan reactions beside watching the sequels, watching the prequels, and watching the prequels without sound because you know all the dialogue.

The final level of fandom removes the audio entirely. Familiarity is so complete that the viewer supplies it. The three expressions turn a movie preference into a tiny escalation chart, not a measured ranking of the films.

Don Quixote and his companion captioned “Hola there!”, above a windmill with four lightsabers captioned “General Quixote”.

Don Quixote’s windmill encounter is recast as the Kenobi–Grievous greeting. The windmill’s four blades become the general’s weapons; the Spanish greeting and substituted name carry the other half of the crossover. This later edit was archived in 2022.

About & sources

An ordinary greeting delivered by Obi-Wan becomes a theatrical entrance, a remix cue and a repeatable prequel-meme response.

Date

Obi-Wan greeting in Star Wars: Episode III (2005); selected2007 marks a documented August21 remix upload, not the film release or a definitive first meme.

History

Know Your Meme traces this scene to the2005 film Revenge of the Sith and documents an August21,2007 YouTube remix titled OBI-WAN SAYS HELLO WHILE I PLAY UNFITTING MUSIC. Its chronology later records a2014 Tumblr GIF post and2017 Imgur and r/PrequelMemes examples. This exhibit selects the documented2007 remix checkpoint, not the birth of the greeting, the film release, or a definitive first meme. The appeal is the contrast between a casual salutation and a dramatic entrance; later caption edits can change who is greeting whom. Representative uncaptioned film still only: not playable video, a complete template collection, or preservation of remix audio. Film, performance and image rights remain with their respective holders; attribution is not a license and public reuse rights are not established.
