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.

People HATED the prequels when they came out, trust me. Your kids will love the new trilogy and you'll remember it with fondness. That's just the way it goes.

Only if they want to be disowned for not understanding that there isn't friction in space ๐Ÿ˜ค

So friction is where you draw the line? Not huge explosions and sound?

Are explosions cool?

I'm a teen right now and when I watched The Last Jedi back in 2017, I hated it because they ruined the character of Luke Skywalker.

In 20 years you're going to be trying to find something to watch and flicking through the channels/streamers you're going to see it and realize you haven't watched it in ages. Then the nostalgia will kick in and it won't seem half as bad as you thought it was in 2017 (dear god 2037 isn't as far away as it feels ๐Ÿซจ) and you'll actually enjoy it. You might even have a few youngins you want to share the experience with and you'll spend Christmas vacation watching the entire franchise with the littles.

It happens to all of us eventually. Well, a lot of us.
