Star Wars Memes

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

==========

Other universes to visit:

!lotrmemes@midwest.social

!tenforward@lemmy.world

Separatist systems:

!prequelmemes@lemmy.world

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

!star_wars@lemmy.world

!starwars@lemmy.ml

!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:

  1. 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.

  2. We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.

  3. 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!

  4. 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.

  5. 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).

  6. 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.

  7. Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.

Just hold your breath, and see

Maul wasn't really Obi-Wan's arch enemy, it was other way around.

Obi-Wan could care less about Maul, while Maul was obsessed with Obi-Wan

[–] plateee@piefed.social 7 points 6 days ago

Much like the Chicago Cubs and the St Louis Cardinals.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Maul didn't meet Obi-Wan until like five minutes before he died.

[–] Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Maul is the Boba Fett of the prequels - immediately jobbed to the heroes in the film, but fans liked him based purely on cool factor so the EU pulled an "only mostly dead" and brought him back. 99% of his character and plot is in supplemental materials like the animated series.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Interesting that there's no equivalent for the sequel trilogy. Guess nobody cares about those characters at all.

[–] _Nico198X_@europe.pub 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

the ST equivalent would be Phasma, i think. D just hasn't started the ST redemption tour yet.

[–] Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

They gave Phasma just enough character development to be hated, so I don't think that will happen. The other two were blank slates that the audience could imagine doing cool stuff if they'd lived, but Phasma was shown to be a coward and hypocrite long before her death.

[–] TheRedSpade@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

How can you tell? He had, what, one line?

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (2 children)

He had a whole ass storyline in clone wars and rebels

Long story short, he was very angry at Obi-Wan for cutting him in half

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

he was very angry at Obi-Wan for cutting him in half

No, Maul was angry for Obi-Wan to just assuming he was dead after he was cut in half, and abandoning him there like if he didn't matter anymore. (The nerve!)

I don't remember he ever complaining about being cut. That's just fair-play.

[–] TheRedSpade@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Makes sense. I've never seen clone wars and haven't even heard of rebels, so I had no idea he survived

[–] devdoggy@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to some Clone Wars followed by Rebels and then Ahsoka....

[–] TheRedSpade@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Might check out clone wars some day. The Disney ones though I'll likely forget before I get the chance

[–] devdoggy@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Well, I tried. Anyway, Clone Wars is a cartoon about all the things that Lucas didn't show in the prequels. Rebels is about the beginning of the rebellion. Ahsoka is just the continuation of all that happened in the previous series'.

As far as Ahsoka being Disney produced, it isn't that bad, and we get Thrawn. Now, if we could get Noghri....

Those things will peck your knees man, you've got to keep your knees safe.

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 11 points 6 days ago

Seagull, drop it now.

[–] remon@ani.social 4 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Really, Darth Maul an arch enemy? Guy was just an inconsequential side character.

[–] _Nico198X_@europe.pub 4 points 5 days ago

in his own mind he was OWK's arch enemy.

they are the original "i hate you." "i don't think about you at all." 😆

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 1 points 5 days ago

I love how they expand on him in the clone wars and comics. Dude was pretty bad ass. It's a shame Spielberg didn't give him any dialogue in the movie.

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Sand do be icky though, that's no lie!

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I miss it. Used to live within ten minutes of the beach then moved to the center of the country. Yes it gets everywhere, but if you jump in the water real quick. Then it's only on your feet for the first hundred yards or so. Or bring a bottle of water and rinse your feet as soon as you get off it.

I understand why Anakin hated it. He lacked water!

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 1 points 4 days ago

He should have come prepared!
