We all know the meme: an attractive girl walks by while a boyfriend holding hands with his girlfriend gawks. The girlfriend looks betrayed and angry. And we love tagging ourselves in it: "me @ macaroni and cheese when my salad is sitting uneaten" or something like that. At San Diego Comic Con this past weekend, some Star Wars fans brilliantly reimagined it.

Here's the original:

And here are some of the uses of the original:




User @thekesseltoyrun shared a photo of some of her friends from Saber Guild Temple Prime, a 'Star Wars' costuming club, recreating the meme as Kira and Young Han Solo as the boyfriend/girlfriend, with Han checking out Princess Leia while Kira looks on with offense.



Is it possible that The Force is drawing Han and Leia together?!




Honestly, seeing people apply memes in real life is one of the greatest joys of the 21st century––not to mention when they make nerdy Star Wars jokes using those memes.






Truly, it's genius.






Can we next have Lando in glasses with a book gesturing at a flying Porg, a la this guy?

Pete Hegseth Blasted For Incendiary Threat To Iranians During '60 Minutes' Interview

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was criticized after he offered a bleak warning to Iranians during a 60 Minutes interview while answering a question about a report that Russia provided Iran with intelligence that could potentially be used to target U.S. troops.

President Donald Trump has said that the U.S. military was "knocking the crap out of Iran" but the "big wave" of attacks is still yet to come, and has not ruled out putting boots on the ground, saying the war is progressing "way ahead of schedule." Trump has urged Iranians to revolt, even as the regime reshuffles leadership following the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and some of his associates.
