The scene

Obi-Wan tracks General Grievous to the planet Utapau. He jumps down from a ledge into the middle of Grievous’s droid army and greets him calmly with “Hello there!”. Grievous answers “General Kenobi!”, and a lightsaber duel follows.

The exchange became a call-and-response online: someone posts “Hello there”, and the replies answer “General Kenobi”. It was one of the founding jokes of the Star Wars prequel meme community.
