Yes, The Obi-Wan Kenobi Meme Was Perfect (& Worth The Wait)
Warning: Spoilers for Obi-Wan Kenobi episode 6.
The Obi-Wan Kenobi series finale includes a famous line that's been turned into a meme in recent years, but its execution and context make it worth the wait and respectful to the Star Wars mythos.

Obi-Wan saying "hello there" in the Kenobi series isn't surprising, but its context is far more respectful than some might have expected.
