The 12 Best Lightsaber Memes Inspired By The Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens Trailer

Although its scheduled release date is on December next year, the first teaser trailer for Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens was unveiled a couple of days ago. It's too early to tell if this is a good move or otherwise. However, with regards to the trailer itself, a lot of fans found it to be a rather lackluster trailer.

Many people didn't like it. Some even thought it's a spoof or something, maybe a trailer made by the folks over at College Humor. But nope, it's the real thing. The trailer quickly went viral with one of the many uploads on YouTube getting over 20 million views.

One of the highlights of the teaser is a lightsaber scene in a dark and snow-draped  forest. The scene looked great until the man in the hood flipped out his lightsaber. What happened next was totally unexpected in a humorous way.

As expected, the scene unleashed the dark and creative side of the internet. Memes inspired by the scene quickly took off. And we've gathered below the very best of them. Enjoy!
