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.

Snoke being Plagueis would have broken the entire Chosen One Prophecy just as much as the return of Palpatine did. Having Snoke being from a new dark side order that wasn't the Sith was one of the better things the sequels did.
one thing to bare in mind is that Plagueis was successful in his goal to have everlasting life. He figured out how to reverse his aging back to his prime and how to rapidly re-generate from injuries. He even figured out how to use the force to just instantly kill his enemies
It wouldn't be too much of a stretch to believe he was expecting palps to kill him soon and would have some sort of contingency plan to go into hiding for awhile and gather up a power base to fight his old apprentice. And then waited for the empire his apprentice created to fall before trying to take over the galaxy with the power base he built up
... But Snoke was a puppet of Palpatine. Sheev had some backup clones to replace him with just in case
That was a retcon that Abrams introduced at the last minute.
I'm not sure you can have a recon when there was no overarching story.
Also, Im not really sure where the third movie was supposed to go anyways. There wasn't really any "Resistance" left and Ben's goal was to "rule the galaxy" which is kinda open-ended.
