Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.
Technical note: if you're coming from another star system and are getting a "Subscription pending" message when trying to dock, that's just the console being slow to display the right message. The connection is already established. (Probably.)

IMPORTANT
Do not post the "good friend" or similar copypasta

Special days!
Friday and weekends: Caption contest. An image will be pinned, and we shall make captions for it and post them in the comments.
Wednesday: Theme day. We have Droids day, EU day, poem day, aliens day... Let the pinned post guide you. Memes with the theme are preferred.
==========
Other universes to visit:
Separatist systems:
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.

"Somehow Palpatine Returned"
That was the last movie I saw before the pandemic, and I didn't go to the theater again until October 2022.
I felt like the movie was so bad that it ushered in the end times.
I tryed so hard to enjoy it, you guys!
Lucky you, the last movie I saw in theatre before the pandemic was Cats.
I honestly don't know which experience was worse...
2019 was a helluva year for movies
It's a horrible mess, but there's bits in there too like, overall poor though for sure. One of the worst if not the worst. Episodes 8 and 9 tension the only Star Wars content I've only watched once. Ben Solo however was a very short bit very enjoyable bit of Star Wars.
I haven't watched any Star Wars content ever since. I absolutely loved The Last Jedi, so I was hoping this was just another such case of fans being overly cynical, but I just couldn't like TRoS, try as I might.
I'm not trying to steal anyone's joy, though. Entertainment value is so subjective.
you have to have a very high IQ to understand the star wars sequels. The subtext is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of the extended universe most of the references will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Luke's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Kilji Illumine literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of this allegory, to realise that they're not just worldbuilding- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike the sequels truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rey's famous line "Somehow palpatine returned" which itself is a cryptic reference to how palpatine's force spirit possessed the clones of himself he had prepared in advance. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as J. J. Abrams's genius wit unfolds itself on the cinema screens. What fools.. how I pity them
I agree, everyone who doesn't like all of star wars is a big dumb idiot. Only smart guys like us can appreciate. I mean "somehow" Palpatine literally did return. Heh. Dummies.
Or maybe you just need to love star wars enough to convince yourself they are good.
Its copypasta
This text could originate from videogame donkey.
I gonna be honest. . I didn't love the sequels...
But I didn't hate them.
Then one day I heard "star wars is having an official Canon event in fortnite" and rolled my eyes figuring some promotional cash grab bs.
Then when I heard "somehow Palpatine returned", I looked more into it, and turned the movie off. I still haven't seen all of it.
I love the shows.
The Force awakens was fun but not great star wars.
There is bad star wars, and you summed it up perfectly.
