Meme about choosing original meme creation over reposting for Reddit karma

This is a two-panel meme adapted from an opening scene of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. The top panel features Imperial officer Orson Krennic, flanked by armed stormtroopers, with overlaid text reading "WHY DON'T YOU REPOST AND CROSS POST? YOU COULD BE EARNING SO MUCH KARMA." The bottom panel shows Galen Erso, a disheveled former Imperial engineer, responding with the text "It's a peaceful life." The joke pokes fun at Reddit content creation culture, where many users choose to make their own original memes instead of reposting or cross-posting existing content to farm Reddit karma points, even if reposting would earn them more visibility and internet points.
