**The Sacred Texts** are a collection of MP4 files of 11 Star Wars films, a YouTube video, and a folder of software files on a USB drive. Created by Admin 3 (as Outpost\_Beta 2) in August of 2018 and used for entertainment purposes, portions of Sacred Texts were later copied onto a second USB drive by Admin 2 and used to complete The Goal.

## History

### Creation

The files were downloaded to a USB drive by Admin 3 (as Outpost\_Beta 2) for the novelty of being able to access any Star Wars film at all times, as Disney+ did not exist yet. The Sacred Texts were used by Admin 3 to frequently view scenes from the films, inspiring a great number of meme ideas. It is likely that he watched the films on The Sacred Texts with Admin 2 on at least one occasion, as Admin 2 was aware of its existence.

### Expansion

At the time of the creation of The Sacred Texts, *The Last Jedi* had just been released. Therefore, the Texts included *Star Wars* Episodes 1-8 and *Rogue One: A Star Wars Story* downloaded from a now-disabled site known as Movies Counter. In 2018, Outpost\_Beta 2 added *Solo: A Star Wars Story* to his collection. At this time, the only canon Star Wars film not on the Texts was *Star Wars: The Clone Wars*, as it was not available on the site. After weeks of requests, it was finally added, and Outpost\_Beta 2 quickly downloaded it to The Sacred Texts. In the lead up to *Star Wars: Episode IX*, Outpost\_Beta decided to troll his friend Admin 2 by adding the music video for Rick Astley's *Never Gonna Give You Up*, with the title "Leaked Footage [SPOILERS]." Though he planned to replace it with the actual movie once it released, the site he had used to download the other movies was disabled by the time *IX* released, and the movie was so bad that he never made an effort to find it somewhere else.

### Darthmemeus Copy

In September of 2019, Amazon Prime began blocking screenshots in their iOS app. This prevented Darthmemeus from easily sourcing templates for their "Every Line" memes to accomplish The Goal. After a short hiatus, Admin 2 approached Outpost\_Beta 2, asking to borrow The Sacred Texts so he could copy them on to his own USB drive for Darthmemeus usage. Outpost\_Beta 2 reluctantly agreed after forcing Admin 2 to admit that *Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes* Back was better than *Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace*. Admin 2 took the USB drive home and copied the three films from the prequel trilogy onto his personal USB drive, creating a second copy of The Sacred Texts. All future Every Line memes would be sourced from this USB drive. However, the process of getting the screenshot on the computer, moving to a phone, and adding text below it was tedious one, resulting in a severe drop in meme production. This drop eventually led to a complete halt in meme production, beginning the Darthmemeus Hiatus.

### Later Use

With the release of Disney+ in late 2019, Outpost\_Beta's need for The Sacred Texts declined and eventually it fell out of use. The USB drive was kept however, and was eventually used to transfer The Meme Software onto Admin 3's computer during the First Memeus Meetup, and to store Admin 3's memes.

## Legacy

The Sacred Texts play an instrumental role in Darthmemeus' plan to complete The Goal, as all screenshots from every line of the prequels are now sourced from the Darthmemeus Version of The Sacred Texts. The Sacred Texts themselves continue to be used to access The Meme Software and store Admin 3's memes.

## Trivia

* The Darthmemeus Version of The Sacred Texts only has the films from the prequel trilogy, while the Outpost Beta copy has every film except for *Episode IX*.
* Legend has it that the original USB drive has a string around it, effectively making a sacred pendant for the admins to wear.
