It's crazy that this is one of the top new communities to make the jump here
Differences?
Did you guys really have some kind of rivalry over meming?
You've taken your first step into a larger world.
Honestly prequel memes started going to hell anyway. Everyone treated people who liked new stuff the same way prequel lovers were treated at their release. Simultaneously they were becoming blind to the issues with the prequels and unironically thinking they were perfect.
That's because it was prequel memes not sequel memes, and most people hate them because they're soulless Disney "content firehouse" cash grabs that render the OT moot as they retread it while simultaneously doing it worse.
The fan base wanted the prequels ever since the words "clone wars" crossed the lips of Alec Guinness. No one asked for the sequels because there was no untold story worth telling. Which is why they resorted to undoing everything Luke fought for so they could hamfistedly fuck it all away. Just slather it up in enough CGI and "fan service" (aka too lazy to write a plot, LOOK THE MILLENNIUM FALCON!) to make the Marvel generation cream their pants.
No one will look back fondly in 20 years on the sequels because 1. They're narratively destitute, the only thing they do well is look good, which cannot stand the test of time. 2. Disney pushes out content so quickly that they don't build things to last, they build them to keep you occupied until the next dose of content. This leads back to point 1.
It's hilarious how you're exactly the person I talked about and you don't even seem to realize it.
Oh no, I totally get it. I knew before I ever tapped out the response.
I just think the difference between sequel hate and prequel hate is the prequels are a good idea executed poorly and making fun of them is like watching a movie that's so bad it's good. Then you have the sequels which feels like watching a movie so bland it's not even worth calling "bad." It's like eating a bowl of oatmeal for every meal for months, here's another CGI ADHD explosion fest to keep you from thinking about the slowly crumbling world around you.
If you replaced "Jedi" with "superhero" it's unidentifiable from every Marvel shit show in the last five years.
It hilarious you think you're any different from the people who shit on the prequels when they first came out.

TIL people actually quote the sequels. The PT was a hot mess with tons of issues but at least they are infinitely memeworthy; ST is just so incredibly forgettable and unmemorable..

I literally don't know if this is a real quote and don't even have a guess what the context was. After Han's snippy remark about a trash compactor maybe? Idk

Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.
Technical note: if you're coming from another star system and are getting a "Subscription pending" message when trying to dock, that's just the console being slow to display the right message. The connection is already established. (Probably.)

Special days!
Friday and weekends: Caption contest. An image will be pinned, and we shall make captions for it and post them in the comments.
Wednesday: Theme day. We have Droids day, EU day, poem day, aliens day... Let the pinned post guide you. Memes with the theme are preferred.

Other universes to visit:
Separatist systems:
Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):
!starwarstelevision@lemmy.world

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.
