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.

I also grew up with the prequels and yes, RotS was leagues ahead of them but it's not just that. It has its issues, but I firmly believe it is a really good movie. I also grew up with prequels and saw both Episode 2 and 3 in theatres. But while the first two were quite cringey with some good parts, RotS was just good and stood up the test of time. More than I can say bout New Hope tbh.
Oh you poor kids. You never knew the world where there weren’t the prequels. Or even the trilogy.
There were many years - many! - when “prequel” wasn’t even a word! Let alone a real word.
You’ll just have to trust us when we tell you there was a magical time when there was only one Star Wars and it was glorious.
Ok, boomer.
Can we stop with the boomer thing? You arent even using it appropriately.
Dont get me wrong im fine with you coming back at the person for being so patronizing ( "you kids" ) but dudes unlikely to actually be a boomer.

Thats genx/millenial territory
"Ok, boomer" isn't about pointing out actual boomers, but about criticizing boomer-think. You can age without letting yourself get old.
Too far. Its gone too far
I respect your opinion but I can't say it's not baffling to me lol. Do you find New Hope is too slow by today's standards?
I don't have any concrete reasons why I think this. I don't mind if a movie is slow - if anything it may be too fast when I think about it? Going from place to place, not really fleshing out much. As a kid I also found it the least interesting due to the lack of lightsaber fights.
Ironically, I've found the writing fairly poor and cringey as well tbh.
