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):

IMPORTANT

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.

I always presumed Yoda's native language was an Object Subject Verb (OSV) language, or used OSV for emphasis. It's common for 2nd language speakers to occasionally slip into native language grammar - such as Chinese speakers omitting the/a.

Yoda can correctly use SVO in English (Galactic Common iirc?), just not all the time. Again suggesting a proficient non-native speaker. For example: ”Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.”

Yaddle doesn't speak like Yoda, indicating either better fluency or an SVO native language - not all the species need speak the same native language.

Yoda is also ~300 years older than Yaddle, depending on the canon. We also know Yoda is a teacher, so he may be more used to speaking in riddles and as a result developed different speaking habits.

Basically there is a lot of time for things to set in and change.

Yoda is actually a grammar purist using correct Basic grammar from 500 years ago. He'll never given in to the degenerated mob!

Young people these days. No respect.

We do know there was a second of Yoda's species in the Order- Yaddle.

Giggity Giggity.

Yaddle also doesnt speak like Yoda lmao

With only a sample of two… it’s hard to say who’s the strange one. It’s possible Yoda (or Yaddle) used the same speech coach as Schwarzenegger

Yoda is Baby Yodas father from the future. Yoda went back in time and fucked Minch(also Yoda. Bisexual reproduction). He is a paradox and only exists in timelines in which Yoda fucked other versions of himself

Yes, yes, Heinlein's "All You Zombies" was written in 1958 and "By His Bootstraps" in '41.

It's all been done... Before! --BNL

I love all of your references. Good work.

BTW, there's a community called [email protected] if you're interested.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Thanks! I'm pretty fond of Heinlein, so I'll check it out.

This comment is perfect. Also I thi k it's why we don't have healthcare. Or maybe why we need it

Just to say, but baby Yoda has been for 60 years running around the Jedi temples.
