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):

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:
-
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.

Are you suggesting that people unsatisfied with a system that works mainly in the interest of a small group of elites will give power to some narcissistic, sadistic creep just to feel some vicarious sense of that power? It’s not like that could happen in real life, certainly not more than once in modern history. I mean, come on!
For all its flaws the prequels overarching story is pretty great
Honestly, they're fairly good movies. If Jar-Jar wasn't part of them, I'd probably say they're better than the originals. They at least have more to say than the originals.
For me it's Hayden's god awful acting in the second movie that kills it
The originals have a lot to say when you know the Rebels are the Vietnamese fighting America and it's actually a pretty solid trope reversal on the Westerns, samurai films, and WW2 movies that influenced it but in a way that will let Lucas make a bajillion dollars.
It doesn't really say much though. It's inspired by the Vietnam War, but it's surface level. The prequels have a lot more substance, although it's still not that much.
