Star Wars Memes
Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

Other universes to visit:
Separatist systems:
Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):
!starwarstelevision@lemmy.world

IMPORTANT
Please do not post the "good friend" or similar copypasta

Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.
The general idea is, if you're looking here for rules, you're probably someone who doesn't need to have them spelled out. You're fine. But anyway:
-
This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.
-
We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.
-
As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!
-
Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.
-
Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).
-
Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.
-
Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.
Taking a planet, and policing a planet, are VASTLY different operations. A few guys throwing asteroids can take a planet. Policing that planet would likely take around one operative per 100 population.
Throwing asteroids is more "destroying" than taking a planet. If you wanna take a planet it's nice to be able to do something with it afterwards.
Sounds like someone needs a rock dropped on them.
Neither the Republic nor the Empire had the habit of "taking" a planet. The Republic was a federation of almost independent planets, and the Empire used the same structure with just a random intervention here or there if one tried to actually act independently. And the Empire interventions were much more on the lines of "destroying" than "taking".
psssh , I never saw any belter boots on Earth
We also saw clones and Jedi working with local security forces very often.
This drastically reduces the number of operatives required by turning it into a security force assistance mission.
