Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

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 mean at least pick a real flaw. There's not exactly a shortage (lemmy.world)

Hey, thanks for making StarWars memes. I know making ST memes can generate a lot of... impassioned discussions. But I appreciate seeing the genuine effort on content. So thanks.

Well I'm sorry to inform you but this was 100% the last one. It doesn't seem to matter whether it's OT, PT or ST. The Star Wars fandom is remarkably toxic and I'm just kind of tired of it. I don't think I've ever had a conversation with a Star Wars fan that didn't end up just them screaming about how Disney is horrible and the Sequels are a war crime and the Prequels were stupid until they weren't and the OT was picture perfect. Every single time someone brings up anything new in Star Wars it devolves into a bitchfit. Look at this meme. The only thing it's saying is that if you're going to complain about the Sequels then focus on stuff that actually happened and not stuff that people invented just because they were upset that their movie didn't go the way they wanted. What's the comments? Exactly that. Whiny and pathetic children who are more happy to invent their own reality about how everything is awful than just cope with the fact that not everything is going to be great and not everything is going to be the way that they want it.

I started posting memes to this community on my other account months ago and had the exact same realization then. For some stupid reason a couple of weeks ago I thought "Hey, it can't be that bad." Nah. It was. That and the fact that the like 6 moderators here do literally nothing. Comments and posts are removed automatically because of a low score and then no mod interacts it ever. Shits being removed simply because "it was reported". This entire community is a dumpster fire of the highest fucking proportions. Feels appropriate.

I am absolutely embarrassed to call myself a fan of Star Wars because I have to get thrown in with these pathetic losers. And this is why you'll never see me talking about Star Wars again despite being about as big a fan of it as I am Star Trek.
