STAR THE CLONE WARS, Disney+ ORIGINAL
Overview
This two-panel meme criticizes Disney for incorrectly labeling Star Wars: The Clone Wars as a Disney+ Original production. The top panel shows the official cover art for The Clone Wars as it appears on Disney+, with the "Disney+ ORIGINAL" label circled in red to draw attention to the misleading credit. The bottom panel uses a reaction still of Orson Krennic from the film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, with the Cartoon Network (CN) logo covering Krennic's face, paired with the line of dialogue "We stand here amidst my achievement, not yours!". The joke refers to the fact that The Clone Wars was originally developed, produced, and premiered on Cartoon Network in 2008, years before Disney acquired the Star Wars franchise and added the existing show to its Disney+ streaming service, making the Disney+ Original label inaccurate and disrespectful to the original broadcaster.
Origin notes
This meme was originally posted to the r/memes subreddit on Reddit, where the original poster asked other users if the sentiment expressed in the meme was valid. It combines a user-captured screenshot of the Disney+ streaming interface with the widely used "We stand here amidst my achievement not yours" Orson Krennic reaction meme template from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
