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.
I grew up on the unedited original trilogy and was young enough to enjoy the prequels in theaters. The prequels have some problems but man was the sequel trilogy a misstep in so many ways. I’m a light hearted enough fan to accept it for what it is. But I can’t say I’m not enjoying the Disney+ series. They’ve each got highs and lows but the quality in my opinion is better than what they did with the sequel trilogy.

Hold for data lag .... Oh right, I get you.
The TV shows are by and large definitely an improvement, even though they're burdened with fixing the problems the films created.
I just wish Disney wouldn't flip-flop between "Everything as a film!" and "Everything as a TV show!" and choose the right format for the story.
You’re dead on there. They need to keep subscribers for D+ so there’s a ton of series I get that for sure. Theaters are struggling and rushing out more movies isn’t doing them any favors. They’ve got to cash in on their investment and the steady stream of marvel has been working but the market is finally getting saturated. Star Wars doesn’t have quite the same expansive universe to work with but they need to be careful not to force it. They’re really teetering an edge right now and nailing the format would certainly help with both directions.
