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):

IMPORTANT

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.

Christensen isn't a bad actor (he was great working with Hank Azaria in Shattered Glass). Nobody could have saved that direction and dialogue.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 3 months ago (3 children)

I think the dialogue and direction perfectly captured a shut-in teenage monk trying to flirt with the most attractive woman in the galaxy.

[–] TseseJuer 19 points 3 months ago (1 children)

there was a lot cut. the cut parts make it make sense and remove some of the cringe. its not a story that the Jedi would tell

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

True. Episode 2 had a whole cut sequence where Padme presents Anakin to her family when the two go to Naboo, which adds lots of character to the pair and really drives home how Padme is just as interested in seeing things work as our young jedi.

When did he flirt with Asajj Ventress?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Every time that they fought. She had eyes for Kenobi though

Check out Life as a House if you haven’t seen it. The kid can actually act. Also, that movie may just fuck up your day, so have the tissues prepped.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

that was the first thing i saw him in before Ep. II. Then i saw that and was like, "wtf happened?!"

[–] ChicoSuave 12 points 3 months ago

George happened

[–] NessD 5 points 3 months ago

Fun fact: When watching the german versions of the prequels, the acting isn't a problem anymore, as professional voice actors bring their own take to the characters and make some of it much more tolerable. Hayden was screwed by bad directing. And script of course.

[–] adam_y 46 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, not the same look.

But I'll let you have intensity.

[–] GladiusB 6 points 3 months ago (3 children)

That's from the first X-Men. He was definitely more shredded in X-2 or either Wolverine movies.

Trebolone is literally a magic potion, but it's so very bad for you.

I can't say enough nice things about Hayden's return to the role. He nailed it. It's a big performance, he and Rosario have exactly the right chemistry - old trust, new mistrust and a tension between. Those scenes are fantastic, and they strengthen the redemption tale aspect of the overall Skywalker Saga by their addition.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 3 months ago (4 children)

What is he in? This isn't about the Kenobi series is it?

[–] teft 26 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

He has cameos in Ahsoka and Kenobi.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago

Psst there are torrents for both series, pretty active! And you might even get some bytes by me ;)

[–] SpaceNoodle 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

They mentioned Rosario, likely Dawson, who portrays Ahsoka in the eponymous series.

[–] fluckx 2 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Eponymous

Now there's a word I've never heard in my life :D

im also curious but too lazy to google it

[–] PugJesus 9 points 3 months ago

Ahsoka, I believe

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

What is he in? This isn't about the Kenobi series is it?

Not Kenobi. I had forgotten his cameo in Kenobi. It was fine, but kinda forgettable.

Minor spoiler for Ashoka SeriesHe appears to Ashoka in force ghost form.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

it must have been weird for Hayden to return to a role he's synonymous with to put a capstone on a long and emotional story arc that he had nothing to do with, but you never would have been able to tell by the way he sold it

[–] [email protected] 21 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Logan was 2017, so hardly 20+ years.

[–] PugJesus 25 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Well, reprising the original role, if you will.

Fuck, what do you mean it's been 24 years since 2000?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

That can't be right, it's clearly only been about 10, right?

[–] Nuke_the_whales 15 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Logan was in 2917, not 20 years ago

[–] [email protected] 29 points 3 months ago (1 children)

2917

i think you're off by a bit there...

[–] occhionaut 15 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Im calling the time police

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Hello, yeah. Time police.

We'll send someone round last Tuesday.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

We'll have sent someone round last Tuesday.

Man, Patrick really doesn't age.

I saw D&W yesterday and I was blown away by the acting Hugh Jackman brought to it. I’ve always been a little skeptical of him as Wolvie because I’m a comic fan and Wolverine is supposed to be small and nasty - not tall and pretty and kind and into musicals. Like Hugh Jackman is. When Hugh Jackman hosted the Oscars it hurt my brain to see him pirouetting and tap dancing and singing.

But after yesterday: fucking respect man. He made Wolverine his. The comic Wolverine is still there and always will be but Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine is now legit in its own right in my mind, forever.

The whole film helped honestly the way they costumed him and choreographed his claws-out squats. But he for sure brought every acting chop there is to the close ups. No one will ever take heartfelt acting seriously in a gonzo film like this, but I did. Tear to my eye.

Thank you Mr. Jackman. All the respect.

[–] Sir_Simon_Spamalot 14 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I don't understand... He already accomplished that earlier this century.

I want a Wolverine musical, dammit!

[–] stoicmaverick 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

They actually made one from when he was living in France in the early 1800s. It was before his mutant power's had fully manifested to the point they are in the comics. It's called the Les Miserables.

I loved how they showed how dumb tiny wolverine would have looked.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

I'd watch an Anakin/Wolverine show. First half, anakin gets sent to Northern Alberta with nothing but his wits. He meets up with Logan, after a few episodes as rivels they work together and become friends. Second half, they figure out how to get Anakin back and the who the villains who sent him there are. Logan comes with, brcause they are basically be(a)sties now. Logan gets lightsaber claws. Anakin gets even.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 months ago (1 children)

lightsaber claws

That sells it.

Adamantium vs lightsaber - who wins?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Why choose? How about a lightsaber with an adamantium hilt?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

And a Wolverine with laser skeleton! Wait...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

I think adamantium, will probably behave like Beskar without heating.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago

Thought wesley snipes didn't do a bad job either. and mother fuckers tryin' ice skate uphill was goddamn excellent

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

Hugh Jackavan.
