Gonzo was great in movies, basically had it's own genre. Then slave-allegations surfaced (he trafficked a minor to some royalty).

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.

Isn't he like legit an alien? I vaguely remember watching a movie about his origin story as a kid in cinema so I could be wrong
You are correct. The other reply is wrong. This is the movie you're referring to. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muppets_from_Space
Thanks! I like being correct
His identity was never revealed. He is referred to as a "whatever," or a "thing." He is frequently referenced as a nonbinary character, but his species, extraterrestrial or not, was never revealed.
Personally I think he is the personification of Hunter S Thompson's id.
I got into an argument with some coworkers over whether or not Gonzo counts as a sex icon.
Everyone agreed Miss Piggy is, but it was 50/50 on Gonzo.
Gonzo is absolutely a sex icon. He played Charles Dickens in the best adaptation of A Christmas Carol that was ever made.
Now that's the kind of workplace argument I can get behind.
