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.

Winning the battle but losing the war, etc.

That was a theme of the prequel series, so it certainly fits. But I feel like its too cheeky by half. Like Lucas felt as though he had something to prove by making all the original named Jedi nigh unstoppable juggernauts, right up until the end. Palpatine's a badass dude. It's okay for him to be a bit scarier than Dooku.

Probably the most missed opportunity in that final movie was Anakin just stabbing Mace Windu in the back, rather than going full Darth Vader Ultra-Instinct mode and overpowering him with his Sith hate. That last fight with Obi-Wan really missed a beat, too. Imagine Anakin using his unleashed Force powers to summon a massive lava wave direct at Obi, only for him to dodge and Anakin to be peppered with globs of lava splatter in the backwash. Also would have been a great opportunity to end Padme, with Obi-Wan caught between rescuing the lava-splattered love-struck innocent Senator or his wicked apprentice, only to lose them both.

So many quality dramatic scenes squandered. sigh
