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:

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.

Doesn't matter, really.

Because the most inconsistent thing in that scene ends up being Obi Wan choosing from the entire prequel canon the idea that Anakin was "the best pilot in the galaxy".

Seriously, he tells him that:

his dad was a good pilot.
his dad was a cunning warrior and a good friend
his dad wanted him to have his lightsaber when he was old enough.

It's not just that the facts of the conversation are wrong, it's that the tone of the conversation is entirely off for what ended up being canon, even before the prequels, but DEFINITELY after the prequels.

People latch on to the "Vader" thing, and who's to say, but it's absolutely clear watching it that the backstory they hint either makes no sense, is different than what they ended up doing, or both.
