Also in one of the the newer films two grunts are walking around on patrol. They hear Kylo Renn having a hissy fit, turn around and walk the other way.
This is one of the finer moments in the Sequel Trilogy. With all its issues they did land a lot of the humor.
The other great bit is in The Mandalorian where the two stormtroopers are trying to shoot a rock.
Ted Lasso is a motivator not a marksman
I still think redhead dudes entire motivation boiling down to 'yo fuck that guy' was great.
Oh yeah I did love that too.
“They may be called the Palace Guard, the City Guard, or the Patrol. Whatever the name, their purpose in any work of heroic fantasy is identical: it is, round about Chapter Three (or ten minutes into the film) to rush into the room, attack the hero one at a time, and be slaughtered. No one ever asks them if they want to. This book is dedicated to those fine men.” ― Terry Pratchett, Guards! Guards!
GNU Terry Pratchett
FTFY
The formatting shows different depending on what app/style/extensions are being used.
On my screen, the "." Shows as a link, with the rest of it as a note underneath with the link preview.
On a different app, it doesn't show anything but the entire thing, not as a link.
But I use a text expansion to insert the entirety, which goes back to the Clacks overhead. In markdown, it normally shows as , depending on exactly what markdown a given site uses.
I should probably set up a lemmy specific version that's GNU TerryPratchett, but it just seems weird to change the standard format for it considering why it came into being in the first place.
Shift ends in 10 minutes? Whatever it is, it's been the next shift's problem for 50 minutes already.
If only the CEO of the Death Star had treated them properly, they might have been more interested in their jobs.
Treating them properly doesn't bring value to the Sith shareholders though.
It actually does, though! Employees, much like milk cows, are more productive if they're happy.
Not if the goal of your whole economy is to produce misery.
Their work from home policy is laughable, I tells ya!
Can you imagine the latency?
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away (called Finland) a translator somewhat famously used the word for a hole making tool in the subtitles instead of a word for training exercise.
I spent far too long wondering "How did they go from training exercise to shovel?"
I was an intern, my 4th time interning in this field, they made it clear (early hiring) that I was on the short list to get a full time position.
They send me out for some routine mundane shit, that I felt like was make-work (go grab some supplies from a different building, why wouldn't they keep supplies in the same building we were working in?)
I'm leaving the auxiliary building (100 yards from the main building) and some guy in a hazard vest runs up to me "someone just fell through the roof, go get help. "You got it man, I'm on it" semi shuffle my 260 pound ass back to the main building, "guys someone just fell through the ceiling, they need medical aide".
The guy who sent me out for the supplies looked at me like 'wtf are you talking about new guy' "yeah, this guy in a hazard vest just ran up to me and said someone fell through the ceiling"the way his face went white and he ran for the phone made me realize this wasn't hazing,
We got the rest of the day off, there was counseling, years later I started to talk to other people about it, how I thought it was a hazing, it became a bit of a gag, when I was sent for things after that a few of the guys would say "and donjuanme, this isn't hazing"
If they just left the Millennium Falcon with a stair and some yellow jackets, none of the problems on the movie would even happen.
Alternatively, Pizza delivery uniforms, complete with a delivery slip to TK-421
Relatable.
RIP Tag and Bink.
Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.
Technical note: if you're coming from another star system and are getting a "Subscription pending" message when trying to dock, that's just the console being slow to display the right message. The connection is already established. (Probably.)

Special days!
Friday and weekends: Caption contest. An image will be pinned, and we shall make captions for it and post them in the comments.
Wednesday: Theme day. We have Droids day, EU day, poem day, aliens day... Let the pinned post guide you. Memes with the theme are preferred.

Separatist systems:
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.
