R2-D2 knew perfectly well that Anakin had turned evil; he was obviously on board with the lie.

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.

We're crying for R2D2 this time.
Oh, that motherfucker knew everything the entire time. Don’t cry for that asshole. He certainly isn’t crying for the tens of millions of deaths that he’s responsible for…
Oh...
"He started it."
I remember they’re being an entire subnet dedicated to analyzing why Obi-Wan lied to Luke about R2-D2. Like, there was a whole fucking conspiracy about the thing, and it was hilarious and extremely believable.
Or maybe it wasn’t a subreddit. Maybe it was Slashdot thread… oh fuck, how the hell did I get old?
Edit: oh, fuck this shit
No! That’s our word, motherfucker!
I think your keyboard will automatically learn anything you type manually. Mine definitely has some misspellings saved in it.
No! That’s our word, motherfucker!
It's the corporations' word now
Are you perhaps referring to the old classic, A New Sith, or Revenge of the Hope? Found reposted on Livejournal of all places, but apparently the original has fallen off the internet.
That's really neat.
I do wish somebody would edit this part...
Leia's own mission, as she says in that holographic message, is to pick up Obi-Wan and take him to Alderaan. Or so she thinks. Actually, her father just wants her to meet Kenobi, which up to this point she never has.
...to clarify that "father" is talking about Bail Organa, not Darth Vader, though. It doesn't become clear until a few paragraphs later.
Also, it unfortunately was written too early to account for Ahsoka etc.
At first glance, the landspeeder in the top pane looked like Obi-Wan had a pistol pointed at Luke.
That's a pretty long arm.
You know what they say about men with really, really long arms.
Only if you buy that fanfiction crap.
