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.

After having just rewatched them all, episode 8 is IMO the only really bad one. It was filled with bad decisions, like those stupid bombers, making enforcing the hierarchical structure of the resistance a major plot point, going from "tracking light jumps is impossible" to "they can only track it from one ship!" like it made any sense at all, both sides of that "chase" failing to use any kind of tactical thinking (why didn't the resistance fleet scatter if they knew they could only track from one ship? Why didn't the first order have a few ships use light jumps to cut off the chase? If they could send shuttles this whole time, why not send some for fuel?), Luke deciding because he failed Ben that it's better to just sit back and let his friends and everything they fought for die, Luke, who refused to fight Vader because he thought there was still good in him, considering killing Ben by turning on his lightsaber while he slept... It's just a very badly written and produced movie.
Ep 7 wasn't bad, and ep 9 had some flaws but overall wasn't bad. They shouldn't have switched directors (especially to one that seemed to hate what star wars was and wanted to "fix" it), should have had a plan from the start (or maybe even just used the plan Lucas already had for the sequels, though they would have had to use different actors since not much time had passed since RotJ).
They definitely lost me when Luke got hit by a star destroyer cannon and wiped off his shoulder and everyone in the theatre laughed.
I knew at that moment everything I had been feeling my whole life was justified.
Fucking sheeple
