Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):

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.
This is one of the reasons I really like the lore dive in the Knights of the Old Republic game.
You get down into the deep Sith philosophy, and yes, Sith evil, but there actually IS a deep ideology behind it where you can understand what they're going for besides cartoonish evil for evil's sake. An unrelatable and vile ideology, but an ideology nonetheless.
Disney would never allow someone like Revan or Kreia to exist in canon movies. Especially Kreia.
That being said, TV shows (like Andor) are seemingly writing their way there. Hence the Rakata reference.
God I love kotor
Still waiting a bit longer before I replay it again
Why is Obi-Wan center?? Wouldn't it make more sense to put Mace Windu there?
He was, canonically, very close to the Dark Side. His lightsaber style in particular delved into some aggressive territory for a Jedi. It was only because Master Windu was a master of his own desires and emotions that he was able to maintain such clarity and focus when most would have gone over. He was Qui-Gon's twin, as far as Old Republic Gray Jedi were concerned.
Windu was not only a badass, but likely would have been the only Jedi who could have understood Anakin, and it kills me that he only would have 'won his respect' for turning in Palpatine in the hours before the Republic fell.
Master Windu was awesome. And I still think it's hilarious that Samuel L. Jackson didn't want to voice him in a cartoon because he didn't want a cartoon credit on his name, even though this was hands down Windu's most badass curbstomping of all time.
There is a political reference somewhere
The force is about balance so we need a thriving sith faction.
the jedi are just as bad
I think that's the correct conclusion.
lolol... it's so like real life... one side is actually helping people, imperfectly if so... the other is dedicated to evil and doesn't hide it. and people can't tell the difference fml
I like that the witches and the force gods or whatever exist in star wars as well and other miscellaneous force entities, more than just a silly good vs evil debate.
Did you guys know that Palpatine is a sith Lord?
Release the Tarkin files
Fascinating, did you know Darth Vader is Yoda's father?
In Mace Windu Voice A Sith Lord?!
I'm tired of all these motherfucking Sith lords in this motherfucking Senate!
🎶 mary did you know 🎶
Who're the two on the left and why are they there?
