DID YOU EVER HEAR THE TRAGEDY OF HARVEY WEINSTEIN THE WISE / HARVEY WEINSTEIN WAS A DARK LORD OF THE SITH, SO POWERFUL AND SO WISE HE COULD USE THE FORCE TO INFLUENCE THE MIDICHLORIANS TO CREATE LIFE... HE HAD SUCH A KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLLYWOOD SYSTEM THAT HE COULD EVEN KEEP THE ONES HE CARED ABOUT FROM DYING. THE DARK SIDE OF THE FILMMAKING IS A PATHWAY TO MANY ABILITIES SOME CONSIDER TO BE UNNATURAL. HE BECAME SO POWERFUL... THE ONLY THING HE WAS AFRAID OF WAS LOSING HIS POWER, WHICH EVENTUALLY, OF COURSE, HE DID. UNFORTUNATELY, HE TAUGHT HIS APPRENTICE EVERYTHING HE KNEW, THEN HIS APPRENTICE KILLED HIM IN ATTACK . IT'S IRONIC HE COULD SAVE OTHERS FROM DEATH, BUT NOT HIMSELF.

A Did You Ever Hear the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise? post.

The taxi driver says "you know what the problem with this city is?" and you know you're not getting out of this one. It's a 25-minute ride. He needs 40. Your hairdresser has the scissors by your ear when she asks if she ever told you about her divorce. You can't leave. You have half a fringe. Your dad slows the car outside the house he grew up in. "See that tree?" Nobody asked about the tree. You're going to hear about the tree. A coworker sits down next to you with a coffee and says "so I had the weirdest dream". It isn't weird. It is, however, very long. **Why it caught on:** in Revenge of the Sith (2005) Palpatine leans over in his box at the opera and asks Anakin whether he ever heard the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise - "I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you." The whole monologue became a copypasta, pasted in full into comment threads at the slightest excuse, and its opening line stands for any story nobody asked to hear.
