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.

Luke has blue eyes. It is impossible for a blue eyed person to have anything but two blue eyed parents.
Eh, you're close, just backwards - if both parents have blue eyes, the child is (more-or-less) guaranteed to have blue eyes.
Its the opposite, parents with blue eyes can only pass on blue genes. But also everything we learned in school about genetics is a simplification. Theres a whole spectrum of eye color hues.
Generally darker is seems more dominant so a good rule Is a child is unlikely to have darker features then the parents.
I have blue eyes, and my wife has brown eyes. Our daughter has blue eyes. We also have a son with brown eyes.
Recessive genes work that way.

TIL I cheated on my wife when she had... wait a second. /s
That's not true at all. Blue eyes needs two recessive genes where Brown eyes only need one recessive gene. So you can have parents where both have brown eyes but they both have the dominant gene for brown eyes and the recessive gene for blue eyes. Then if both recessive genes are passed on to a child they will have blue eyes.
Of course there's a few more complications to this as human eyes aren't predicated on one gene, but it's a good enough simplification.
Not true, genetics can just do weird shit
