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:

  1. 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.

  2. We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.

  3. 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!

  4. 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.

  5. 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).

  6. 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.

  7. Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.

Woah woah woah. Andor rocked. What's your beef? Genuinely asking

Well, it doesn't feel like a Star Wars show until the prison arc which is pretty good and I'd like it a lot more, but to get there you have to suffer through the Heist arc which.... ugh..

Also too much of it feels like filler. It's called a "slow burn", but these dinners, cereals, pointless scenes of marching, don't add to anything or build to anything.

The Heist was just completely unforgivable, we get two episodes of the crew Andor joins being incredibly generic and unlikable. The only thing we learn about them is that they don't like Cassian Andor because he's "Not one of the cool kids"

Then we get to the Heist and itself and we get a stupidly long marching scene before anything happens (Obvious filler is obvious)

And the heist itself is just not worth the pay off, all these unlikable characters we spent so much time getting to know die. Only unlike Rogue One where my heart is breaking and I see how everyone is sacrificing themselves for a greater cause, I don't feel anything because I don't feel like the Heist accomplished anything, and I hate these characters (Except maybe the guy who was writing a book) so their deaths mean nothing to me.

Oh and the Kyber Crystal which screamed Chekov's Gun never got used for anything. I figured maybe he'd have to sacrifice it during the heist, maybe it'd get used to make a lightsaber, no it's just... there and he gives it back after the arc ends. Another "Glad we accomplished something"

Bullshit, garbage show. And what really sparks my hate for it, was that anytime when the show was running that I announced that I didn't like it, I had tons of passive aggressive assholes on my case saying I wasn't "Smart enough to get it" or "That's okay, not everything can be pew pew."

I can handle a slow burn, I can handle movies that are light on action and full on character development, what I will not tolerate is a show that drags its feet because it feels that my time and attention are not important.

See, I feel that the slow burns show us the general resentment of the galaxy towards the empire. They show us the cultures that have been suppressed (I recently found at that the striking metal church thing is a quirk of Romania), and they show us some of the more bleak yet sensitive moments of how the characters spend their "down" time. I really like it for its humanistic approach to its characters. No real heroes or villains, just a bunch of people caught up in the tension of the time

And that's cool, I like the idea. Especially since the movies don't really show us much, they just tell us "Empire bad, Rebels good", so I'd love to see a show that makes me say "Wow, life under the Empire sucks."

But.... gestures to Andor This aint it Chief.
