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.

Contrary to what the other person said, my friend and I watched it last night and the first episode left us with more mild disappointment than excited enthusiasm - but we actually loved the second episode and it felt much better for us. Our issues with the first episode weren't anything major, it was just contrived conflicts for the sake of actually getting to what's going on. Our two examples were there was a lot of maps and puzzles that feels like they should be part of a video game, and it's not the kind of puzzles that the audience can really feel like we're part of, and then some of the character conflicts were a result of unnecessarily withholding information when the characters can just clash and be a natural conflict. Finally, the ending was very funny in retrospect due to a character solving something, going to look outside at the stars, and then later saying they didn't solve it... so they were just staring in the sky for no reason with binoculars thinking maybe they'll see it xD
Okay but in all honesty, I still enjoyed and loved the show. I had a feeling that episode one was merely a means to get us moving and ultimately as long as these minor issues don't keep up with the rest of the show then I'm not worried. Episode two did have a minor video game segment with unnecessary tension but after that the episode was awesome. So far we're getting at least a little bit of development on the enemies they introduced (may Ray rest in peace) and it's cool seeing the timeline at this stage in the game. The translation from TCW/R is also done really well, I'd say everybody except for Huyang (a droid) looks freaking incredible. Huyang just looks like a puppet with CG overlaid or something, compared to the rest he's just a little out of it. However David Tenet does great with him :)
For context, I enjoyed all of BoBF (but definitely do see where it has shortcomings at various stages) and Kenobi as well.
@JimmyChanga per the lightsaber fight in Ep1's ending - my hope is that the character felt like she was showing off the tricks she learned resulting in her motivation for needing to go back to training. In that context, while not the best saber fight I appreciate it more. I liked Ahsoka's fights though
