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):

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.

Ah, the negotiator!

"That's... why I'm here"
The attempt on my planetary status has left me errant and deformed
This is where the orbit begins
"A planet, the Sun is not."

Oh no, I'm not brave enough for politics
"Is this because of my thesis"
Best lines are at the end
You are god-damn right they are
There are larger planetoids than you Pluto.
A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one
Always "Pluto, Pluto, Pluto". Why does no one ever remember Ceres, Eris, Haumea, and Makemake? They're each as much of a "planet" as Pluto is.
Ceres was thought to be a planet as well. Better telescopes got it demoted.

Meanwhile I'm more focused on the "invisible 9th planet"
There's apparently some gravitational data that says there should be a 9th planet in between Jupiter and Saturn* that we've simply been unable to physical observe.

between Jupiter and Saturn* that we’ve simply been unable to physical observe.
*I don’t remember the actual placement
If it were as close as Saturn, we'd be able to easily see it. If additional planets exist, they would be beyond Neptune, and likely quite far beyond it.
Yeah like I said to the other commentor. My info is outdated as i haven't really looked into it in a while.

The proposed 9th planet is beyond Sedna and is hypothesized because Kuiper belt objects are orbiting strangely to they figure a gravitational influence from further out is causing it. Uranus was seen doing the same thing and that's how Neptune was confirmed found.
Do you have a link for that? Pluto is tiny and much farther away and we can easily see it. There's no reason I can think of why we couldn't see a planet in that orbit, even a small one.
I thought we figured out why the calculations were off and it wasn't actually because of an unknown body out yonder? Is there new evidence or am i just misremembering stuff?
Honestly I haven't researched it in a while so that's entirely possible and I'm just outdated
The theory I've heard is that the Oort Cloud is more massive than previously thought, and that said mass might represent Planet IX.

I still think it should be a honor planet or something. A dwarf planet just sounds bad.
Please clarify your meaning. Your comment has been perceived as ableist (i.e. disparaging towards people born with the medical condition of dwarfism) and I'd rather not remove it if that perception is based on a misunderstanding. Thanks.
Oh no, I meant like I was raised to think of it like a planet and not a glorified asteriod, I meant nothing disparaging to anyone.
Thanks.
