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

Separatist systems:
Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):
!starwarstelevision@lemmy.world

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.

blew him?
Look, the old order was different... A couple of dudes out in a tiny space ship for parsecs at a time, forbidden from pursuing true love...
Now stop asking about my secretive order and put on this space blindfold lil orphan boy
You would think two men going to a third world planet and buying an underage slave boy would raise more eyebrows but no one questions a Jedi.
If he hadn't built the death Star, we wouldn't know Anakin's name. He would just be a black box on a list.
He was a victim.
Remarkable man, your father. Flammable.
Inflammable means flammable? What a galaxy!
His future/present:
His memory of the past:
Imagine if Obi-Wan had just packed a big fat bowl of space weed and told Luke, “look, kid, smoke this because I’ve got some shit to lay down, and it’s gonna blow you’re fucking mind,“ and just told him the whole story. It would’ve saved everyone a lot of trouble down the line.
We would never have gotten the big reveal in Empire, but we would’ve gotten a narratively consistent episodes 1-6, prequels that didn’t suck because now everything that happened had context, and arguably a much better version of Star Wars as a result, as Luke had more than just faith that his father had good in him and could be redeemed, and could actually have a relationship with his sister.
A unified saga of genuine quality across all six films — telling one coherent story about trauma, love, institutional failure, and the possibility of redemption, rather than a fractured Floaties, one of the heroes tale, one of weird bureaucratic failures, traumatized, childhood, and a romantic sub, plot, full of disconnected and incoherent dialogue.
There never should have been more than 3 movies. Maybe not even more than two.
Besmirch not the One True Star Wars film with the wastrel’s plot-holes of the lesser unworthies!
Midichlorians - are right out.
