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):

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.

The point where Star Wars totally lost me was when it turned out C3PO was fucking built by Darth Vader when he was a kid. I just couldn't suspend my disbelief anymore. I loved the original three movies when I was a kid, but damn, it's completely left me behind at this point.

I recommend seeing the sequels, if only to make the prequels look halfway decent by comparison... The third especially is a dumpster fire.

I've seen the first two. I can't bring myself to watch the last one.

I think it's worth watching just to witness the absurdity. It's like going to a bad horror movie - if you're expecting to be scared, you'll be disappointed, but if you go into it rooting for the zombies, it can be fun

This might be the comment that gets me to watch it. I've been holding off on some preconceived notion of it further wrecking my memories of the original movies. At this point, it hardly matters. Low expectations it is!

I left phantom menace disappointed but hopeful.

Clone wars opens with Anakin and Obi wan talking about a better movie they didn't make.

I left revenge of the sith convinced that's not how it actually happened, that the last three movies weren't actually canon, but like, a story someone told about Darth Vader centuries after the fact.

Like all the stories about King Arthur, all different.
