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.

Okay.

But Jar Jar is a Sith Lord, dammit.

Unrelated question... Who kept cloning palpatine?

The real question: who got it on with Palpatine to eventually produce Rey?

With the way the sequels took a giant turd on the EU only to run crying back to Palpatine clones in the last movie, I'm gonna say Mara Jade as that's easily the most offensive answer.

I like to think about it like that Rick and Morty episode where everytime Rick dies he just spawns in a cloned body.

But unlike Rick and Morty this was never planned so it's just a dumb cop out

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Dude I just ment it as a joke insinuating that it's Darth Jar Jar Binks doing the cloning

I know I'm just a prick and hate the sequels 😭

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

To be honest, hating the sequels makes it less likely that you're a prick. They weren't that good at launch, and now that the "new movie smell" has worn off, now people have the time and perspective to see that they aren't actually that good.

If they were any other sci-fi movies that didn't have the "Star Wars" name in front of them, they probably would've bombed.

I liked rogue one- mostly because everybody died at the end.

And then, it hit me that… if you can find a beach and make out… you can find a shuttle or something.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean there were empire reinforcements everywhere, I doubt they couldn’t. By the end of the movie, when they get and transmit the data, not only the empire has conquered the beach but the Death Star and Vader’s fleet had arrived. There was no way for them to get out of there alive

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

So… stop trying and just make out?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Probably everyone does

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

The sequels had so much production effort, so many good story ideas, and so many good-will thrown at them... and we got that.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why put a Sith lord in the middle though?

[–] freamon 6 points 1 year ago

Memes like this are very finely engineered, using only the very latest, bleeding-edge version of Microsoft Paint, and I felt that putting "I'm (pretending to be) a Bombad General. My loyalty is (not really) to Naboo" would ruin the artistry.

[–] freamon 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Things are finally taking off for me in this Community - I've made something, and I've got some feedback: "okay"

"That's high praise!", as Nic Cage would say.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Highest praise I can give.

[–] freamon 2 points 1 year ago

Ha, thanks.

Maybe you already know, but your 'Mark Hamill' post has been subbed to [email protected], btw.

Bombad general: “I am Naboo”
