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.

The Ewoks got to feast on Imperials.
Chewie got his reward later that night.
Han can keep his medals.
Didn't they retcon this in 9?
Er, at least the fact Chewie got a medal. Of course he still got ceremonially shafted. lol
I haven’t read it since middle school, more than 40 years ago, but I think I recall the Star Wars novelization (of A New Hope’s screen play) stated that Chewie was getting a medal too, but that he’s have to wait because Leia was to short to present it to him the same as she did for Luke and Han.
I have a copy!
The novelisation also has all the Biggs scenes and tells us Luke had a puppy as a child.
It also implies that the moisture farmers didn't just harvest water, they actually used that water for farming crops (was it hydroponics? It's been a while since I read it).
Nice, thanks for digging that up. It’s different than I remembered, but the important part is the same, Chewie got a medal.
That is so much better than what 9 did.
Wasn't there something that said that Wookiees have a cultural taboo against receiving things like medals in exchange for great deeds, or am I just making that up in my memories?
Sounds like an excuse for George's bigotry against the huge and furry.
