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

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:

  1. 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.

  2. We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.

  3. 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!

  4. 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.

  5. 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).

  6. 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.

  7. Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.

IMO Chaos from 40k represents what the Dark Side should represent better, pure bottomless descent.

It keeps taking and taking and taking until there's nothing left, and then it makes you into a vessel to take from others to sate what you alone no longer can.

It's damnation, but it's also an addiction, it's always eluding you and dancing further away for you to pursue for the next high, and no matter how close you get in that high, no matter how horrified you are by the true face of what you're chasing when it's in view, the new low you've brought yourself to for what you're chasing, the new feat of horror you've subjected yourself and at this point your victims to, once it's beyond your reach once more you can't help but fall for the beautiful lie once more and resume the chase.

Darth Sidious isn't a pinnacle of the dark side, he's just the strongest crab in the bucket.
