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

Other universes to visit:
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.

5, 4, 6, 8, 7, R1, Solo, 1, 3, 9, 2
No, you're uninvited from the may the 4th party, and the revenge of the 5th follow-up party.
TLJ is flawed but great and would be higher if TROS weren’t such a cowardly backtracking shitshow of a movie.
ROTS is very nearly as hard to watch as AOTC, though it has some higher highs. I will personally never forgive it for forcing the most brain-twisting mental gymnastics ever to retcon ROTJ’s Luke-Leia “real mother” scene in the Ewok village.
I have found my people. I also liked TLJ. I hated RoS because literally the whole movie spent it’s runtime reversing what Rian did in TLJ.
You got the first two right at least. 5, 4, 3, R1, 6, 1, 8, 7, Solo, 2.........9.
Everything that’s annoying about AOTC is there in spades in ROTS.
ROTS just had few better parts.
The immersion breaking total lack of chemistry in 2 between Anikin and Padme, which is my biggest complaint, is hidden by his anxiety in 3. Add some of the best action sequences in SW that are found in 3, and I will have to agree to disagree with you good sir.
Are we allowed to politely disagree and move on??!! I am happy to go into my thoughts as to why ROTS can't overcome its shortcomings, but a lot of comes down to what hit me as a kid watching the OT and how the PT was such a drastic departure. Certain of those choices were rolled back in the ST, so I'm fonder of it than most, though I've been holding a torch for TLJ so long...
We can do that, especially as I loved TLJ when it came out too. 9 kinda soured my taste for it though.
2 would have been a better movie if they had cut out the Naboo part down to pretty much just the kiss, maybe with some text to say they were having a great time or something. Based on their interactions shown, I found them leaving there not liking each other as much more believable than falling in love, especially with the scenes in the capital showing how little respect they had for each other.
Then they could have used that time to make the fight against Dooku longer for each of Anakin, Obi Wan, and Yoda.
Imagine thinking 3 is worse than whatever fucking mess phantom menace was. 7 was 4 but worse
All of the prequels are a mess. RotS just has the most meaningful scenes to the overall plot of the Skywalker Saga.
Want to know why Qui Gon dies from a stab when no one else ever does? The man was fucking exhausted from carrying the entire film. Liam Neeson single-handedly elevates TPM above the other two prequels.
You’re not wrong, but four was that good
7 wasn’t though, it just followed the same plot structure without anything that made it good
