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.

This is actually an interesting question. How is age handled in a space-age civilization? Someone born on one planet could be 10 while on a different planet they'd be 50 in the same timeframe. What if you spend part of your life on one and the rest on another? It'd be inconvenient to use one planet's 'day' as the standard, as they'd all be different lengths...
In Star Wars, a Galactic Standard Year corresponded to the time it took Coruscant to orbit it's star once, 368 standard days.
You can tell it's a crazy sci-fi galaxy because the year is 3 days longer than ours. They really went wild with these ideas sometimes.
What, laser-sword welding space wizards weren't crazy enough for you?
I was just coming to terms with that, but now knowing he has 3 more days per year to plan than I do... I'm starting to get concerned again.
You are on this council, but we do not grant you the rank of Master
Documentary...what part of "A long time ago" did you not get.
Hahahahha
I mean, many people don't consider it sci-fi anyway, so,
