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 still don't understand why anybody lets J. J. Abrams make anything after the clusterfuck of Lost.
I appreciate that he managed to make both Star Trek and Star Wars fans very angry. That took serious skill.
I'm just watching Star Trek TOS for the first time, just became a new fan. Did ST fans actually hate his movies?
For sure. Nobody hates Star Trek more than Star Trek fans.
I think I have a long way to go then lol
It is a long road, getting from there to here. I say make your own way. I have opinions about Trek that the larger community seems to disagree with pretty strongly but meh.
My unsolicited lukewarm take/advice is; don't let them tell you whats good and whats bad, decide for yourself. Just like Star Wars theres a lot to love, and sure a lot to criticize. Sometimes criticism is fun, but I've long since left behind fans who make their entire relationship with the franchise about how bad X or Y is. Its exhausting.
Abrams was only involved in the first episode of Lost.
Nope.
Um, Damien Lindleof has been in multiple interviews saying that Abrams involvement after season 1 was practically non-existent. I'm pretty sure I remember interviews and a production of that went over the creation of season 1 and he wrote the pilot and episode 3 and that was about the extent of what he did, Lindleof made up the rest with the other writer whose name I can't remember.
From pretty much all accounts I am not seeing Abrams involvement with Lost past season 1? Where are you getting this?
So you're already contradicted yourself?
I'd appreciate information rather than condescension.
