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

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.

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
George Lucas couldn't even agree on his own direction for the Prequels, so you can stuff this whole idea that he had some genius masterplan. None of the trilogies were done perfectly.
Right. You're not a Star Wars fan but you're in the Star Wars meme community arguing the differences between a set of trilogies. But you're not a fan.
Moreover, you being at film doesn't really mean much. Want proof of that? The countless directors who've never been and won awards, and the countless directors who have been and have failed miserably.
Then there is your arrogance which is to inject that into a post. There's no purpose except for you to say "I go to film school therefore my opinion is worth more than yours on this."
Claims you're not "Not a Star Wars fan."
Acts exactly like a toxic Star Wars fan.
Literally incapable of arguing the point at hand and has to resort to personal insults.
For someone who is a film nerd and goes to film school, it's kind of remarkable how you have no ability to focus on the film. Your entire comment was belittling another series and then belittling me. You never argued any point I made because you have no argument against it that isn't based off of your own emotional reaction.
Star Wars was made for children but you are really pushing the frontier on what can be called a child.
If you want to cry and throw shit because you're too immature to have a conversation, by all means. But you can do it while failing at film school that you supposedly go to. I am not entertaining your ego any longer.
I personally dislike the whole idea that if you like the sequels you just have little or no media literacy.
The movies were hot messes; but I wanted a movie in the star wars universe with star wars things and it had those, therefore I enjoyed watching them. Doesn't make them masterpieces or anything.
