That top one is the reason I can't watch soccer. What a lame thing to watch a professional athlete do.

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 hate it when professional athletes overthrow the republic π
Technically he did not overthrow The Republic so much as became it.
isn't really a Republic at that point is it.
i know the meme, but he did eventually transition fully over to a galactic empire.
Eventually, though the transition was gradual. We are watching the transition happen live in front of our eyes with Donald Trump, who already preemptively has the legal ability to assassinate his political rivals if he were to so choose. However, he did "not" actually overthrow the government - do you see the difference? Yeah, I'm not sure I do either, but some people claim to, so there's that, and somehow that seems to make all the difference in the world, in terms of people not wanting to fight back.
Tell me, you've never watched an entire match without telling me, you've never watched an entire match.
"It gets better!"
I think all football players should be forced to second in rugby. That'll stop them rolling around in mock agony from tripping over a blade of grass.
There's way too much bullshit flopping, but sometimes it's the only way to get the ref's attention when an opposing player makes a shitty move that doesn't hurt but is definitely against the rules.
Or sometimes they just never get touched but are magically thrown to the ground with a broken leg which also magically heals seconds later.
Maybe they should fix the way refereeing works then. Itβs not like the rules were written by Jesus or something.
I see you've never heard of FIFA. Lucky bastard. I'm paraphrasing, but Sepp Blatter said something like "it's a human game, mistakes must happen"
Not to mention the utter hate from football fans of objective rule enforcement like VAR. Add them and you have a perfect storm of people not wanting to fix a problem blended with a governing body that is conservative to a fault.
I thought FIFA was for soccer, and the NFL handled football
One is for football, one is for American handegg
They're trying to modify certain portions of the rules and modernize them but each league implements them differently and at the end of the day the refs are treated as unquestionable and untouchable even when they say they made mistakes despite tech and camera angles given to them. Which is fine but there needs to be more things like video assistants saying that was a dive give a yellow but they don't do that still.
I don't think it's because they're soft or something. The behaviour is advantageous and gets rewarded, so they keep doing it.
Fans when someone doesn't share their enthusiasm before the season starts
Which is why I'm always polite and ask 'how is your favourite sports team doing?'
These should be reversed so it gets funnier as you go.
To me, the boxer one is the funniest.
Have Patrick Kane and Hayden Christensen ever been seen in the same room?
Yes. In fact, they're so codependent that neither of them will enter a room without the other.
