Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.
Technical note: if you're coming from another star system and are getting a "Subscription pending" message when trying to dock, that's just the console being slow to display the right message. The connection is already established. (Probably.)

Do not post the "good friend" or similar copypasta

Special days!
Friday and weekends: Caption contest. An image will be pinned, and we shall make captions for it and post them in the comments.
Wednesday: Theme day. We have Droids day, EU day, poem day, aliens day... Let the pinned post guide you. Memes with the theme are preferred.

Other universes to visit:
Separatist systems:
Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):
==========
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.

Hey now. Rogue One is out there.
Definitely a top 4 Star Wars movie. Possibly top 2.
I really loved that one character has a French accent, because he's from the planet France.
Oh god, the horror of having a completely french planet.
French planet? Sounds basé.
It's cool they're really sexy.
The Twi'lek planet, Ryloth, is the French planet
french planet would have quebecouis moon that thinks they're better than the planet
Do the think they’re better than France? Or just better than the rest Canada, and American tourists?
My buddy's wife was raised by French Canadians, he said they tend to have a superiority complex over actual France 🤷♂️
And they would be correct at that.
Despite some of the stupif shit like explaining why his name is Solo I liked the han solo movie too
I'm ok with all of the stupid stuff except for that scene. It's Star Wars, it's fine to be stupid, but "my name is Han and I'm here by myself" crossed the line.
Haven't seen it, but that just sounds like a poorly written Ellis Island scene.
It's worth a watch. Probably best to smoke a joint first, it's not exactly a thinker. But it's a fun movie, and a lot of Star Wars seems to be lacking in fun lately. But be prepared for the cringe in one particular scene.
Pretty much.
The most yeehaw Star Wars there was since Star Wars
Honestly, if it was a sci-fi heist movie that was unrelated to Star Wars, I think people would have liked it a lot.
I really do wonder what might have been if it released before, rather than after, The Last Jedi. I only ended up seeing it because I got to go to a free screening with the new chewie, and it was a fun movie. I think at least on par with the prequels, but certainly more felt more "star wars" then the Sequels.
Couldn't disagree more. You'd miss out on such bangers as "Congratulations, you are being rescued. Please do not resist."
Fun fact; in the scene where K2SO slaps Cassian while pretending he's a prisoner, Alan ad-libbed the "And there's a fresh one..." line, and Diego Luna immediately cracked the fuck up during the take, but being a total pro he manages to (almost) hide it behind his hand while pretending he's holding his face. Alan's delivery was so good that they kept the take.
Witty one liners are all well and good, but they don't exactly make for a well paced or interesting story.
Funny, i really thought the movie fell apart towards the end
Rogue One is how you do two acts of slow burn, followed by a third act that gives you payoff for your patience.
The first season of Picard is exactly how not to do that.
Slow burn is great when you have strong character writing and world building. These are things of which Rogue One has virtually none.
