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):

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 if.. the Holiday Special was canon?
Do you REALLY want canonical wookie porn?
Only if it is filmed entirely in Shyriiwook.
I have never been more serious in my life.
Yes.
The Mando series canonized it in the first episode.
BEATRICE ARTHUR IS CANON.
They made three
Ugh, I have to read? I thought I was done with that back in the 20th century. I just want to Disney+ it into my brain!
Damn, a lot of dark shit must have happened to him to turn him to the dark side. Canonically, Obi-Wan is probably one of the most "jedi" Jedis, even his fighting style Soresu is almost exclusively defensive.
As someone running a soresu based jedi in a ttrpg, there's a lot of times I get real frustrated not having a solid high damage finisher, which does lead to dark thoughts soooo.
Yeah, I mean, maybe in this scenario Qui-Gon didn't die and took Anakin as a second apprentice so that Obi-Wan would be constantly frustrated by being upstaged by that "kid" who is naturally stronger in the force, which will lead to his downfall. His final act of turning would be killing Qui-Gon. Although the Emperor wanted Anakin as his apprentice, he wouldn't be able to turn him and take Obi-Wan as a consolation price, still managing to establish the Empire with Order 66.
It could definitely make sense. He kills Maul leading Palpatine to scout him out for his talent.
And if Maul returns like in TCW, Palpantine would definitely use it as an opportunity to pit his apprentices against each other since they're more closely connected that Anakin and Maul. He'd absolutely leverage Satine's death the same way he leveraged Anakin's fear for Padme.
The next question then, in this universe where Qui-Gon lives, does Dooku remain a jedi? That would lead to very different outcomes.
Obi-Wan is a self-contained dichotomy. He's simultaneously very lax with applying the rules to his apprentice, in a similar way to Qui-Gon Jinn, but also incredibly strict with following the will of the council, even above the Will of the Force.
A lot of dark shit DID happen to Obi Wan.
K, why does Anakin look incredibly sexy in the final shot?
Weird way to spell Obi-Wan
Look at that smolder!
It's the eyelashes and sort of eyeliner look that isn't as common on men. Gives him a slightly feminine feel. Also you might be bi or gay.
"Might be gay"
HAH... I am indeed quite gay, respected gentleperson
That's crazy that this is how you found out. Congrats!
Because Anakin is a sexy mofo.
Not in live action. He's a whiny little bitch there
When doesn’t he?
You were like a father to me obi-wan. Don't go where I cannot follow.
This better not awaken anything in me.
Nice one, who's the artist?
Reevesartisse, I'll put it in the title
Thanks!
Using two accounts to post and comment really confused me for a sec OP haha
The magic of the fediverse 😘👌
Heh, Kbin is having some teething troubles at the moment.
Let's be honest, Obi-Wan wouldn't stand a chance in this fight. His only two advantages against Anakin in their duel were emotional stability and Soresu, and even then Anakin was forcing him back all the way to the lava riverbanks.
Anakin would probably refuse to kill his old master, though.
Yeah, but with the high ground...
I think you are underestimating Anakins power!
He shouldn't try it
100% would cut off his hand though
Absolutely. Anakin is the #1 user of Dooku's patented "steal yo arms" technique.
This made me realize I haven't seen any alternative/parallel dimension stuff done in any Star Wars thing. Be sweet to see a universe where Luke and Obi Wan are evil and Darth Vader and the Emperor are the heroes.
Edit: Actually, you could do this without it being an alternative universe. Just have the story told from the perspective of someone who loves the Empire and actually believes they are the good guys.
In such a universe, there wouldn’t be a Darth Vader, as Anakin wouldn’t be a Sith. Palpy probably wouldn’t be the evil emperor, either, come think of it.
