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:
-
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.

Luke trying to kill Ben bugged me. I don't mind that Luke wound up a crazy old hermit, all of his mentors did, but the fact that the guy who redeemed Vader decided to murder his nephew after one bad dream annoyed me.
Never happened.
He went into his room, looked at Ben, and realized he had ignited his own saber. There was no attempt at murder or killing. It was a moment where he was caught up in the dark side but he didn't try to actually kill Ben.
Literally what the meme is talking about though, thanks for so succinctly proving the point lol
So many people who complain about shit that never happened. Y'all are inventing your own boogeymen. There are legit problems with the movies and no one focuses on those. Instead people just make this shit up and go after stuff that was never shown and never occurred. Never seen any other fandom do this.
It also happens with The Last of Us Part II, which points to a probable cause: the same factually wrong criticisms get repeated not from individual engagement with the original media, but rather with professional shit-stirrers on YouTube. Someone rides the algorithm to dunk on something popular, and their terrible takes are recycled forever.
