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.

Yeah, I mean she pretty much ditches Anakin once he fully reveals his fall to the dark side. Like, she was cool with the slaughter of sand people, sorta, but when he denounces the Jedi, she tries to get out and he force chokes her, which she does not think is hot at all, and does the whole "dies of a broken heart" trope (thanks George 🙄).
I mean, that's kinda enough... 😬
"I killed them all. They're dead. Every single one of them. And not just the men… but the women… and the children too." Followed immediately by "To be angry is to be human" and a few scenes later by "I truly… deeply love you… and before we die, I want you to know."
If the meme fits, wear it, Ms Padme...
Oh, 100% yikes at that point for sure, but once he goes full Sith, she's all, "You're going down a path I can't follow" and, "You're breaking my heart". Plus, if she was really into it, I'd think the force choking would be the hottest part 😜
Maybe she really hated sand people?
She probably didn't see them as people. Just like a lot of soldiers who go abroad, kill innocents, and come right back without batting an eye. Then they have a violent incident in the US and suddenly their family turns on them
It's kind of leopards eating face.
Anakin killed Sandpeople children but I never thought he'd kill white Jedi children.
Isn't that just how the families of soldiers react when their favorite testosterone machine comes back from tour and has issues fitting back in
"SHE'S LOST THE WILL TO LIVE?!!! What is your degree in POETRY?! You sorry bunch of hippies! For god's sake don't use the BILLIONS of dollars of medical equipment! Maybe we should just get on our knees and PRAY??!!! WE DON'T HAVE KNEES YOU MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!"
Probably some Sith dark side sorcery. Might even be unintended by Darth Vader. They are codependent, or he might even have inadvertently done some kind of brainwashing on her that had this side effect. Like a psychic vampire.
They don't give any explanation of that in the actual movie, though, just like "she lost the will to live 🤷♂️"
Yeah it's headcanon, but the scenes are intercut and as Anakin dies and she gives birth they both "die" at the same time and it's visually linked. So something is going on they can't explain, like a love/death curse, and the med droid just gives some kind of guess. That's why it never bothered me and I don't see it as a trope.
Thin and hand-wavey, but I guess that's where we get the term from.
