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

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.

lol, yeah. He’s got a great imagination, questionable execution, and should never be allowed to write dialogue. I’ve never forgiven him for trying to turn space magic into “actually it’s some symbiotes that live in your blood”. Bruh, space magic was better because whatever the Force is, it’s wildly inconsistent and entirely plot driven. Sometimes you can pull a Star Destroyer out of orbit, sometimes you can fly through the vacuum of space, sometimes you can crush a dude’s throat a few light years away, some times you can do all that but you don’t have the high ground and are absolutely fucked. Whatever man, space wizards with laser sword and telekinesis; fuck yeah.
Not gonna lie, I might be the one person to actually like midichlorians. Though that's because it was yet another poorly-defined plot element where your imagination could come up with a better explanation than whatever dross Lucas would have turned them into (ugh, look up the Whills - one of his plans for the sequels was basically Fantastic Voyage).
I spent days thinking up theories to explain midichlorians after The Phantom Menace released, which was probably more enjoyment than I got out of the film itself.
Midichlorians killed my childhood. Right there in the theatre. Dragged little 'x' year old me out of long-term, foundational memory and blastered it right in the back of the head.
