When something is beyond our comprehension, we often call it the work of science fiction. When a new technology comes about that we can't quite wrap our heads around, we try to understand it through the lens of fiction. It's why we have fiction in the first place. It helps us understand the world around us. We might not have alien invasions and intergalactic travel yet, but we might understand it a little bit better when we do, because we've spent so long preparing for it. But it's not only useful to think about the world to come, but it's also useful to understand our present moment. All work comes out of some particular time and space, even if it's pretending to be another. Star Wars came from a very specific time in American history, and it had a lot to say about geopolitics and the nature of power in its time, even if it was actually set in a galaxy "far, far away." This is why we love science fiction so much. It's relatable despite not being actually relatable.

Why do we all relate to Luke Skywalker so much? We're not Jedis. But we're people who understand what it means to be underestimated, and we know that we all have greatness inside of us. It's why we love to talk about these stories decades after they've been told. It's also why we keep coming back to memes about it. We just can't help but love things that reflect ourselves.

  • So that's why we gather at the meme list every Monday. We love these stories, and we want to keep telling them. We want to keep thinking about our favorite characters and our favorite moments. We want to share them with our friends and celebrate them every day. Plus, we want to laugh about stuff that we think is funny. That's what makes sci-fi memes a winning combination. They make us laugh, they make us think, and they honor stories that reflect our lives. It's a human urge that we're right to indulge every now and again. It's our right as internet citizens and as people.
