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.

I like ep7 honestly. It has problem, but it's also...fun? Ep8 is pure nonsense(carpet bomber in space...? Jedi leia?) and it makes me drop the whole franchise. I heard ep9 is even more nonsense.

I fell asleep watching ep1 lol.

Jedi Leia has some formerly canonical basis. She should have already been a full Jedi well before ep7 even if you throw out the entire EU, as Disney did.

Resetting canon to only include the movies and shows was criminal in my opinion, since they would have literally had decades worth of scripts in those books.

The ridiculous Mary Poppins scene was not the way to introduce Jedi Leia.

that is a much more coherent opinion, and one I share completely. They absolutely should have had Leia training Rey in some capacity first, although I have to assume Fisher's age, if not her health, may have influenced their decisions on where to take her character.

Just wait until you're old and there's a new wave of kids for whom the sequels are a core part of the franchise. It's been freaky to watch it happen with the prequels.

The sequels are kind of the opposite of the prequels.

  • Set after the OT
  • First 2 movies are good but last one is trash
  • Terrible overarching plot but cool in the moment to moment
  • Terrible background lore (how did we even get here??)

There are so many great ideas on the new trilogy that are just thew there on the movies and never expanded into a coherent story...

It seriously implies it would spark joy.
