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):

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.

Ya should check out The Unifying Force Theory, basically says the Force has no inherent light or dark side, that it's indifferent. The Force, through individual's actions dictate whether they are light or dark, and within ourselves is the capacity for both. It's kinda what the Sequel Trilogy was trying to go for with Kylo and Rey, albeit executed very poorly.

Funny enough, probably the most famous practitioner of this belief was Qui-Gon Jinn. It's also why he never was elevated over the rank of Knight. He was considered unorthodox and a bit of a rebel by most Jedi then, who followed the more commonly held belief of The Living Force Theory.

I had heard the dark side was a twisted corruption of the force and sort of like a cancer

Yeah that's The Living Force Theory, that the Force is inherently good and the Dark Side is a perversion of the Force.

I mean I'm glad this kind of stuff exists, and I'm never going to rag on someone for being passionate about a thing they like, but yeah I'd rather not spend time and energy learning about a fictional theory about a fictional (mystical) power that only exists in the universe of a kitschy 70s soft sci-fi series.
