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.

I feel like the news media coverage of plane crashes is the same as train derailments: it actually happens often enough that it is most of the time ignored, until one happens that brings in the ad revenue and then suddenly news media is scouring every inch of airspace to find the next one for the flavor of the week. Then once it stops getting ad revenue they move on to something else.
That is not the point here, though.
Boeing fucked up in multiple, unrelated ways over more than a decade, killing hundreds of people. That is definitely worth reporting.
Accidents with small aircraft and near misses happen all the time. And yeah, you can see how the media report those more after a large accident.
The Boeing stuff doesn't happen, at no frequency. They are a one-off. You can maybe point at Fokker, but they are an example of the normal situation, where a plane improves more slowly than the average and becomes dangerous by inertia.
Yep exactly this. I wonder whats next shark attacks?
