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.

Did the death star have a daycare? If so, he got anakin beat on younglings slaughtered too.

[–] ericisshort 14 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I don’t think so. The Death Star was a military vessel, and spouses/children don’t usually don’t get to come along on those sorts of things. Having said that, maybe there would be some children on if there was some sort of christening celebration or school field trip on board at the time of the attack.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago (2 children)

No, it's canon there were families on board. It was simply too large to be anything but a city in space.

[–] Alivrah 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah but they were evil so it doesn't count /s

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (3 children)

No /s necessary, you live in something called The Death Star, a weapon fresh from killing a planet, and you're officially the eggs in the anti-evil omelette.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot 2 points 11 months ago

You mean the Imperial Planetary Ore Extractor?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Not sure they even called it The Death Star, just Military Artificial Satellite Spaceship

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Of course, the first working one was the 4th itteration of prototypes. So that makes it MASSIV (Military Artificial Satellite Spaceship IV)

[–] CosmicCleric 2 points 11 months ago

I would have went with BABSS, big assed ball shaped spaceship/station.

Thanks, now I'm hungry!

Best Buy. I'd go with a Brother instead if I was you, though. Won't try to fuck you over anywhere near as much.

[–] CosmicCleric 2 points 11 months ago

If I had the guess, one of the novels.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago (2 children)

It's an installation - a miltary base. Guarantee the workers had family spaces / on base housing in it. Considering the size of it, whole cities worth of people.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Bode from Jedi Survivor keeps his kid at an ISB base so it's not outside the realm of reason.

[–] ericisshort 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Is it an installation or a ship? Couldn’t it move around the galaxy to attack different planets? If so, I think it’s more of a ship than a base. Only analog I can think of in our world would be aircraft carriers or battleships, which are commonly referred to as floating cities, yet they don’t have children or spouses living on board.

From what I've heard, one of the darker secrets though is tbat there is sex and sometimes childbirth that goes on.

Not something the Navy usually likes to talk about.

[–] ericisshort 2 points 11 months ago

Yeah, I’m sure that’s happened way more than they’d like to admit.
