Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

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.

Devil's advocate: people are hesitant to talk about specific times because days/years work differently depending on whether you're using standardized time or the unique time systems of the thousands of planets out there and it could be misinterpreted.

Or something?

The Galactic Standard Calendar was established in S3 of Mando when they mentioned Taungsdays. Interplanetary commerce and travel would essentially require a standardized time and date system as well. The simplest answer is that Mr. Krabs just wrote a clunky speech.

Four score and seventy solar rotations ago, on this planetary rotation...

I think that's a fair argument though I would expect a civilization that advanced and widespread to have adopted standard measures of time. Which I previously would have assumed a "year" to mean something like a full solar orbit of coruscant. There's no reason for there not to be multiple standards, though, but it would be nice if that's what they were going for they didn't just say "year".

They are hesitant to talk timelines because the Disney products played fast and loose with them.

Okay but then it makes no sense to mention "this day" either. They should just say "some time ago we did that thing".

Yeah, a simple "Today we celebrate the anniversary of blah" would have worked.

I can't help but feel it's Filoni having fun though.
