One specific poster that I though twas very interesting was the Obi-Wan & Anakin "I have the high ground" poster. The reason I thought it was so interesting was because it included an aspect of the game UNO; its use of the reverse cards. Not only did it make me burst out laughing, but it also impressed me with how much sense it actually made. If you've seen the movie, you'd understand why it works so well!
In response to Dylaney's question: absolutely. Because I am a Die-Hard star wars fan, each one of those motivational/funny posters hit home for me. Not only did they all make sense, but they also gave me a feeling of nostalgia. It's interesting because…
Do you think the quotes have more of an impact when used in a Star Wars context than they would on their own with regards to people familiar with Star Wars?
In response to mst18, I think the star wars posters can get the attention of anyone familiar with the franchise.
this poster is pretty much is sent to reach the star wars fan in different ways. it can be a sign of motivation or a meme. Like for me when there are fitness motivation i like it more and i understand it because i am big into fitness.
Do you think because you're into a type of genre then when you see a poster like these you'll understand it more?
In response to Dylaney yes i agree 100% with that because when i look at posters of characters i like or people i like i understand it more and agree with it

The use of memes has obviously increased in today’s society, what impact do you think memes have on the movie community?
In response to Delaney’s question, I think memes would bring fans together instead of forcing them apart. Memes are generally funny and add more content to consider when thinking of Star Wars.
Q1. how influential do you think it is that these quotes are coming from star wars characters.
In response to frenchy, yes these popular characters make fans read these posters more than others.
