Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.
Technical note: if you're coming from another star system and are getting a "Subscription pending" message when trying to dock, that's just the console being slow to display the right message. The connection is already established. (Probably.)

IMPORTANT
Do not post the "good friend" or similar copypasta

Special days!
Friday and weekends: Caption contest. An image will be pinned, and we shall make captions for it and post them in the comments.
Wednesday: Theme day. We have Droids day, EU day, poem day, aliens day... Let the pinned post guide you. Memes with the theme are preferred.

Other universes to visit:
Separatist systems:
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.

MODERATORS
If you're making stuff yourself, and not harvesting from other sites, there's absolutely no limit on the amount you can post.
The limitation on reposts is just for posts, not comments.
You made me read the rules:
Local mods are the Jedi council.
So they'll deny me my well earned and deserved titles and rewards? I shall find their enemies!
What if the stuff I make is an imitation of a repost make out of snausages?
Image Transcription: Meme
[A screenshot of Grogu / Baby Yoda, a character from "The Mandalorian". He is a small green-skinned alien character with large pointy ears and big eyes. In the image, he is leaning towards a control panel to push a button whilst looking right towards something off-frame with large, innocent eyes. Text at the top and bottom of the image reads:]
ME FINDING OUT IF THE 3 MEMES PER DAY RULE
IS POSTS AND COMMENTS OR JUST POSTS
I am a human who transcribes posts to improve accessibility on Lemmy. Transcriptions help people who use screen readers or other assistive technology to use the site. For more information, see here.
If I make a typo, will my typo get corrected of [sic]'d?
Neither, it'll be included as-is without a [sic]. I follow the guidelines of r/TranscribersOfReddit, since they were developed in cooperation with members of rBlind.
The policy there was always that doing any sort of change affects the message and delivery fo the original content, so it should be avoided. [sic]s are avoided because they affect the flow of the content, and particularly in posts with multiple typos they can be very distracting.
