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:

!lotrmemes@midwest.social

!tenforward@lemmy.world

Separatist systems:

!prequelmemes@lemmy.world

Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):

!star_wars@lemmy.world

!starwars@lemmy.ml

!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:

  1. 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.

  2. We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.

  3. 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!

  4. 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.

  5. 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).

  6. 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.

  7. Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.

There weren't a whole lot of jedi to make a new generation of jedi after order 66

what really fucked starwars is the people disney put in charge of it

everyone involved with the disney stuff can't stop inserting all their own psychosis and narcissism into it and it ruined starwars. They want the twilight and 50 shades audience, but they're not going to get that if they work with starwars, so the audience they have hates it, rightfully so, because it's not real starwars

hiring actual starwars fans, who read all the books and comics and played all the games from before disney would massively improve starwars, re-canonize the EU of starwars and just make 1 to 1 recreations of the scenes from the books and comics. No real world politics crammed into it, just a fantasy sci-fi WW2 in space ...because that's what made it successful don't try to fix what isn't broken

if they just did that, starwars would've been disney's most profitable franchise, but they kept hiring all the worst possible people to work with that material instead

Totally irrelevant. Force sensitivity is largely random and Jedi almost never have kids anyway.

[–] ThatGuyNamedZeus@feddit.org 1 points 2 days ago

from what I understand, force-sensitive children were hunted down and killed once the empire took over, if they were old enough, the empire would try to make them inquisitors, where many of them would die from the training, a lot of the training was fights to the death to see which new recruits were the strongest. and of course anyone who wasn't evil enough was killed

Isn't it profitable nonetheless? Not that I like it, but the Disney sequels are the top grossing movies of the franchise (if you ignore inflation).

Are they really? I guess disney put a lot of money behind them, but I heard the profit they made wasn't so good
