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

Separatist systems:
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.

What'd they do this time? I don't subscribe to them
Password sharing crackdown, a la Netflix
What? Kids are getting free streaming while at college? These millionaire college students have gotten enough of a free ride!
It will be interesting to see how effective it is, I got around Netflix by just using browser versions. They did a shit job and haven't bothered to fix it.
Why try that hard ? Subscriptions went up. They win that one.
Dunno, I'm not subscribed either. Can't imagine it's anything good though (if it is, I'll delete my post and phone Disney to apologise).
Can you imagine if a streaming service did something good? "We're updating the terms of service. Now each profile under your account can have their own usernames and passwords to access the service, the profile limit has been doubled, and the number of concurrent logins per profile tripled!"
Honestly keeping it kinda fuzzy and not cracking down is the best option for them.
Some people just aren't willing to pay full price for Disney+. But if they can share their account with someone else, they can pay half price. Most of the cost is in producing the content so having two people paying half price instead of zero people paying full price is a win for them.
But not explicitly allowing this means there's a lot of people that won't share their account. I got sticklers in my family like that... meanwhile my Netflix password is on a note on my parent's fridge. Anyway the sticklers pay full price, the people that don't want to pay full price are still paying something, this maximizes the revenue.
But they're being stupid and think cracking down will convert two people sharing an account into two accounts paying the full price. But it's more likely to convert two people sharing one paid account into zero paid accounts.
Netflix's user numbers and revenue went up after their "crackdown". That's why everyone else is doing it too.
Thank you for the expert answer.
