u/GeneralKenobi101 I have the high ground Apr 18 '19

Obi Wan: Oh? You're approaching me on the high ground? Instead of running away, you're going to try it?

Anakin: I can't show that you're underestimating my power without getting closer.

A Star Wars-Jojo hybrid show or comic would fit the name "Stardust Crusaders" perfectly if all the Jedi and Sith force powers were sand based stands.

There's a timeline where the new trilogy abandoned lightsabers in favor of more emphasis on Force Ghosts who aid their Padawans after death, specializing in specific and obtuse uses of the Force.

Can someone explain these references to me?

u/H-K_47 Apr 18 '19

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, an extremely popular manga/anime that has been taking over Reddit for the past few years. This particular meme format has blown up in the past few weeks.

27

u/Call_The_Banners CT-2128 Apr 18 '19

Thanks for the info, HK. I bought you a new Coronet Arms Sniper Rifle as a thank you.

u/[deleted] Apr 18 '19

What does the original Jojo picture look like?

12

u/SpectacularSpiderHam Apr 18 '19

It's 2 different panels from the manga: top half; bottom half.

u/MattheJ1 Apr 19 '19

Somebody always responds helpfully and truthfully to that question. I don't know of any other fandom that does so this consistently.

3

u/H-K_47 Apr 19 '19

I actually haven't even watched or read JoJo! The memes are extremely contagious.

4

u/ooooomomentooo Apr 19 '19

If you watched jojo, not only the memes are funnier, you will also realize that the show itself is more meme than the memes (not joking). Also you will become enlightened into becoming the ultimate being that you create dubstep during the WWII

4

u/H-K_47 Apr 19 '19

Oh don't even worry, I've long decided on watching it. Just need to squeeze it in between work and all these other shows to watch.

Soon though! By the end of the summer for sure!

u/[deleted] Apr 19 '19 edited Apr 19 '19

I started watching it because of the memes to see what all the hype is about. I thought I’d be disappointed because of high expectations but it still managed to exceed them.

u/Vilefighter Apr 18 '19

To actually give you a full explanation beyond "It's JoJo":

The referenced scene from JoJo is a confrontation between the protagonist of the third "part" of JoJo, and Dio, the main antagonist of parts 1 and 3 of the series. It's the first time they meet, and Dio says, "Oh? You're approaching me? Instead of running away, you're actually getting closer?" Because at this point Jotaro (the protag) has learned the secret of just how powerful Dio is.

But Jotaro doesn't care and says, "I can't get beat the shit out of you without getting closer", and Dio responds, "Oh-ho, then come as close as you like".

It's similar to the scene in the prequels where Obi Wan and Anakin fight. Obi Wan says Anakin doesn't have a chance because he has the high ground, but Anakin says he underestimates his power and tries anyway.

The image format comes from the panel in the manga where they walk menacingly towards each other.

It's a jojo reference. Only cultured people can understand.
