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

Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):

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.

Anakin doesn’t like hot stuff, it burns and gets everywhere

Somebody think of the children!

Not you, Anakin.

My buddies and I read the novel, and then camped out for 3 days to see the premier of RotS.

Only food within walking distance was a burger King.

2 of us on day 2 went for a lunch run, full jedi garb, and ordered a bunch of Whoppers, sodas, and nuggets.

The receipt printed. Order 066.

Without pausing we jumped back, screamed, brandished our lightsabers and did a couple laps around the (empty) dining area.

Then without explanation we quietly took our to go orders and left with a great story for the guys back at the line.

Huh, I never knew the RotS novelization came out before the movie. Always assumed it was released sometime after.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Ya, Matthew Stover wrote the novel, then George Lucas adapted the novel into a screenplay.

The novel was released the night that the first round of RotS toys were released at Walmart (was there for that midnight release too).

That was a few months before RotS went to the screen.

The biggest criticism I experienced was that noone knew what the fuck was happening in the movie. Having read the novel, I knew exactly what was occurring.

Was frustrating to know that Anakin wasn't being a bitch about the title of Master specifically. He was frustrated because he needed access to the Master's section of the Jedi Archives, where holocrons about the force ability "precognition" lived so that he could stop the premonitions he was experiencing depicting Padme's death. That is what set him up to be prey to Palpatine who was telling him about Darth Plageus, the one who could defy death with dark side energy.

None of it described in the movies. All of it fully covered by Matthew Stover in the novel.

Lucas really made a hack job out of the adaption.

Onion Rings from HOT STUFF may well give you a 'run through with a lightsabre' feeling.

These onion rings almost destroyed the entire Jedi religion.

Whenever I use these bullshit stationary ordering droids, I wonder if I ever get 66. But I never do.

I remember the meme phases r/prequelmemes went through. And now here we're having memes from all the phases being [re]posted all over again.
