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):

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.

Sure but do you not agree there is major gap in quality and substance?

Oh I completely agree that there was, but not when you're suggesting. It was between the Original Trilogy and the Prequel Trilogy, the most critically hated series of Star Wars movies until... the Sequels. And 90% of the complaints I hear about the Sequels are emotionally based with nothing that people can physically point to. The other 10% have valid criticisms but most people don't voice them. They just whine.

At worst the Sequels fall between PT and OT in terms of quality. At the bare minimum, it was a step up from the confused mishmash of the Prequels.

You're saying this of the trilogy that was made by 2 directors actively trying to undo what the other did, interesting

I'm not a star wars fan but I am familiar with the movies and the making of them all (film school nerd) so to see someone claim something like that is wild

Honestly the comments of yours read like someone with very little media literacy who likes the ST. That's fine, you can like what you like. It's the "no actually people who dont like it are stupid nitpickers who didn't even pay attention" that gets you laughed at like an idiot
