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.

But why not midi-chlorians?

It is interesting seeing people like episodes 1-3 now.

I wonder what 20 years will do for 7-9?

JarJar isa Sith Lord!

The line when Qui Gon describes midi-chlorians to baby Darth Vader is the dumbest shit ever:

Without midi-chlorians there would be no life and we would have no knowledge of the midi-chlorians.

Like no fucking shit we would have no knowledge of something if there was NO LIFE numbnuts.

Not to mention crushing the dreams of millions of aspiring Jedi.

Oh you can't have the force, you don't have enough of this canon-altering mitochondria allegory.

Baby Darth Vader.... Cute until you think about it. And... They clearly picked Natalie Portman for the role of Luke and Leah's mother.... Why did they pick so young of an actor? Too old to start training!? It's almost as if they wrote it with a 17 year old in mind but somehow forgot the "mah Christmas merchandising" rewrites.

Ugh such a mess!

"Without midi-chlorians there would be no life and we would have no BLTs."
