Yesterday, the long-awaited video game LEGO Star Wars The Skywalker Saga was released, and it's already received an overwhelmingly positive response from players and gaming critics alike — especially due to its many meme references.

The game's release was highly anticipated, and brought to mind recollections of the highly memed 2005 original, which was a core childhood memory for many who posted on Reddit's /r/prequelmemes subreddit about watching the next generation of young children log on and play the game based on their beloved Star Wars franchise.





Elsewhere, users on platforms such as Twitter reported spending a massive amount of time playing the game, sometimes to the detriment of their other responsibilities.

A particular trend shortly after release is players celebrating the slew of easter eggs and other references discovered inside of the game — such as the classic I Killed Them All meme.

The game has spawned a few meme formats of its own alongside much adulation, joining other highly memed releases like the recent Elden Ring, proving that nothing unites social media users like a good game with memeable content.

Star Wars fans are, in fact, very easy to please. This is what makes the sequels so morbidly funny
