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

Other universes to visit:
Separatist systems:
Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):
!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:
-
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.

Obi-Wan "Why does he get to be a young ghost"
The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.
Because that's how he looked when Anakin died and Darth Vader was born
Also Yoda.
Teeeeechnically you have to be a powerful Jedi to become a force ghost. Those kids never had a chance
Just being a power Jedi isn't enough either. It was something Qui Gon learned and taught it only to Anakin, Obi Wan and Yoda. All the other powerful Jedi? Gone.
Until Rise of the Skywalker, but we don't talk about that mess.
well if you want to get SUPER specific you had to be taught how to be a force ghost by Qui Gon directly. he first taught Yoda, then eventually Obi-Wan, and I don't know how the fuck/when he taught Anakin. post death I guess? picked it up in like an hour or so? and then I guess all 4 of them taught Luke and Leia at some point.
Isn’t it possible that they could just…figure it out themselves? From what you state, it implies that Qui Gon found out about it himself. Very nice info from you and Goodeye8, appreciate it
plot armor is a helluva thing
Yeah here's the real reaction from those kids:
He really should have gone to super-hell. The Force is kind of a pushover.
I think it's canon that his dad is The Force, so...
It is. In old canon there was the idea that Plagueis and Palpatine trying to create “life” in their quest to cheat death might have been why the Force responded by creating Anakin. There was also a fan theory that Sidious secretly used the Force to impregnate Shmi to create the perfect apprentice, but that was based off an awkwardly drawn comic panel that seemed to give that impression but the writers stated that was not the intention. Currently, Anakin is pure will of the Force. Per Lucas, the intent of the story was what we got in the Prequels and OT- Anakin/Vader’s actions balanced the Force by reducing the two competing sects to nothing, and despite being a “Jedi”, Luke is not a Jedi like the order had been, he’s far more balanced and will be because he’s not dogmatic. The return of Palpatine in Legends (Dark Empire) and Disney both violate Lucas’ original intent.
Per Lucas
His answers change from interview to interview, so oddly enough the creator of Star Wars isn't a reliable source on canon.
Nepotism!
