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.
Man, fuck Harrison Ford. I have no idea why he has such contempt for the two roles that put him on the map, especially when they're two of the most beloved characters in cinematic history.
It's also clear from his interviews that he just completely misunderstands the character of Han Solo.
Edit: Apparently he doesn't hate Indy like he does Han. That only makes me feel marginally less indignant though.
You'd be mad too if nobody bothered to ask you what it was like on the set of Working Girl.
He’s a grumpy-ass dick, straight up. I mean let him be himself and all that, I am not requiring him to be lovable for my sake, but I will definitely change the channel if an interview with him is on.
You gotta stick around for the Mark Hamill interviews where he does an impression of Harrison Ford.
It’s true he is the antidote in every way.
Agreed. Fine if you hate the franchise that made you shitloads of money but at least have the common decency to shut the fuck up about it
he wouldn't shit on star wars if people stopped asking him about it
Does he have contempt for Indiana Jones? I wasn't aware of that.
Maybe not. It's possible that he has enough contempt for Han to cover for both, and I just assumed.
He definitely likes Indiana Jones. He negotiated a new movie as part of his return to Star Wars. He’s the big deal in IJ but only one of the main characters in SW
Does he genuinely hate it or is this just half serious joking, or maybe it was serious long ago and now its a joke to himself because he likes the money and other people seem to like laughing at this half serious joke and so he keeps doing it.
Yes
He wanted Han to die in the original trilogy. I think it's genuine hate.
I don't know if it's a general hatred of the character per se, but he was quite adamant that Han should have died in RotJ. He was willing to reprise the role later as long as they killed him.
"Hate" is hyperbole; he just doesn't like the character much.
I mean what is Han supposed to be in Star Wars now? It was probably pitched to him as a bad ass gun slinger that doesn't care for the law and gets the girl anyways. Immediately the world and story grows well beyond the possibilities of a gun slinger having real impact.
He's a side character, who can't really effect the universe he is surrounded by and falls into a grumpy father figure role. He was just in the new movies for nostalgia.
Luke can defeat entire armies, Leia secretly a force user that effects entire governments, he uh, smuggles some items sometimes. Could be replaced by near any other normal human out there, as every new character near immediately learns how to fly a ship, shoot down other ships or has a droid that can do it for them.
"But he can understand what a wookie is saying" Wait, suddenly everyone else that is around the wookie for 2 days can as well.
