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.

I mean Darth Maul had the high ground…
Did he? I thought they were on flat ground. Am I remembering that wrong. I really don’t want to watch any of those movies again.
Obi-wan was pushed down the shaft by Maul, holding on to something and had to force jump out of it while force pulling his lightsaber. He was in a much wirse position than Anakin before they each attacked.
Clearly Obi-Wan is the master of the High Ground. He knows its strengths and weaknesses as second nature enough to exploit as he needed.
Anakin and Maul had no chance.
*edit To add: Obi-Wan gets caught in a fight on flat ground in front of Luke? Just gives up.
Anakins move is the same one Obi Wan did to Maul. Obi Wan saw it coming because it's his move.
::: Rebels Spoiler
He did this again when he finally kills Maul. He lures Maul into doing the same move that killed Qui Gon. He then counters it perfectly because he sees it coming.
Every moment of the "Duel of the fates" stayed with Obi Wan through his life.

If you know what I mean
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Oh my, so perfect, thank you for this
Didn't laugh this hard for a while
That’s right! But he was also closer, and in a do or die situation. He had nothing to lose. Anakin, on the other hand… pun intended.
Obi-wan had only one way which should have made it even easier for Maul to predict and defend.
