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):

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.

How does it compare to the first season of the mandolorian or the last 3 episodes of obi-wan?
For me that's a hard comparison, the last 3 eps of obiwan I found pretty awesome. Its a better start than obi I would say though. It feels different to mando, less like the og star wars, think there's more in it off you've watched the rebels, all the Clone wars cartoons. Pacing is good... as you can tell I'm not much of a critic. But I'm thinkingI'm going to like it.
Yeah, I’m just deciding if I want to watch it or not, I almost tapped out of obi wan at the beginning, and couldn’t bring myself to watch more than the first episode of the latest mandolorian season. They have been missing lately, but I hope it’s good.
I liked the latest season of Mando it was a pretty good direction forward I feel. Ahsoka has kept up with that pretty well, but the first ep is definitely moving slowly on the wrong things. But episode 2 was really good for the direction
FWIW, it seems that the first episode of most of these SW shows are just trying to get things set up for the things they actually want to write. Mando, BoBF, and Andor seem to be the exception, where BoBF teetered off a bit and Andor stayed strong throughout.
I don't disagree the shows have had some shortcomings, but overall I've actually enjoyed them quite a bit. I do wish they spent a little more time on making the first episodes feel "right" though, as that would help the reception overall quite a bit.
I loved Kenobi even though some people don't, but I accept the silly sequence of little Force Leia running away from bounty hunter/mercs as just showing Leia's force attunement. It's silly but effective since it shows her cunning at a young age.
Interesting, I really enjoyed andor, but Mando really just didn’t do it. I never really liked that show much anyway, can’t wait to watch Ahsoka though! Kenobi was also great which gives me hope.
That's too bad! S1 was the strongest for me but S2 and S3 have been enjoyable. If the space western style wasn't selling it for you, they do move on from the motif a little after S1, but I wouldn't push through it unless you're interested in Mando and baby Yoda.
Personally what I've liked it for, aside from the western style, was how they were being subtle with the world building of the sequels. It's much more effective just being around cloning facilities that we can assume made Snoke and Palpatines bodies than outright pointing and speaking on it and I was glad it wasn't heavy handed to just try and "fix" missteps from the sequels.
Your loss, esp mando s3
Hmmm worse then Mando season 1. I wouldnt say its gotten as bad as the last 3 episodes of kenobi.
If mando season 1 is a 4 and kenobi is 2. So far this show being a 3/10 is qbout right
