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.

tumblr post where first post reads, alternate universe where when darth vader declares that he's Luke's father Luke comes to the (entirely reasonable) conclusion that darth vader and anakin skywalker were married

reply reads, How could you kill your HUSBAND?!" and Luke gets away with his hand because Anakin's too confused trying to figure out when he and Obi Wan got married and why he's only learning about it now

edit: also I'm @QuinnyCoded@sh.itjust.works, I think my home instance is updating or sthm right now ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

This is not what I thought this was going to be about.... I have always found it weird that we only see Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru so briefly (I don't count Disney as canon) in the original trilogy before they are killed only for Luke to eventually become so dotting over his biological father. Didn't his aunt and uncle technically raise him? Just so weird.

Why, is "Luke" inside the quotes? I know everyone remembers the line like that, but he didn't say Luke, he just says I'm your father.

Doesn't he say "no, I am your father"?
