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

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.

Maybe he was worried that Luke would go down the same path his father would, so he kept things vague. That was always my take on Old Ben -- he wasn't really guiding Luke to do anything, it was the Force. "Luke, your father was actually a dangerous madman who slew younglings. In fact, is the right hand man, that academy you were joining? It's Space Fascism, so definitely don't go and join it to be with your father." lol
On the topic of the other two -- Personally, I liked Kenobi. It has some sillier bits, but nothing IMO that isn't easily explained (as an example, there's a scene where young Leia is chased by mercenaries and she kinda dunks on them. People hate it. I think it was a clear example of her Force Sensitivity, so I don't mind it at all.) Its main shortcoming for me was the villains could have been better and Reva was a bit predictable. I didn't think she was as bad as the Internet did.
Ahsoka... I wanted to like. It had a lot of potential, most of my issues were that it seemed like they were filming a video game, but since we're not playing Ahsoka we end up just watching her interact with things we have no meaning for. Other than that, it was decent save for what they did to Sabine, which was just a disgrace to her character. Sabine was disappointing, over and over again. Overall, I think it has been my least favorite of the Star Wars shows as it has had the most visible quirks and awkward shots.
As a continuation of that story it's pretty decent and I'm excited for S2. But as a continuation of that story, the characters were not as strong as I felt they could have been. Time passed and people change, that's fine. This wasn't quite that though.
