Hello,

For this Wednesday's theme, please try to imagine how your favourite Star Wars characters would advertise themselves on sites like LinkedIn.

Corporate jargon, the elevation of mundane tasks into elaborate feats of skill and expertise (e.g. where changing a bulb becomes "Single-handedly managed the successful upgrade and deployment of new environmental illumination system with zero cost overruns and zero safety incidents"), and work-obsessed lunacy is the general idea.

Thank you. Now I have to go watch the latest episode of Fargo (by which I mean "automate the successful retrieval of an Amazon product at a lower-than-expected cost, and continue my dedicated plan to stay abreast of the latest developments in innovative storytelling", of course).

Hello,

I keep forgetting to do these, but WhoRoger sent me this recently, and it's now all I can think about.

Please suggest your own captions for this pic.

Also: please feel free suggest any other images we can use for future contests, (or any suggestions for Wednesday themes, for that matter.)

Thanks!

Hello,

Order preference for today please:

1. Memes about droids
2. Memes with a droid in them somewhere
3. Anything, really, 'cos we seem to be a bit quiet at the moment

Thanks.

Hello,

For this Wednesday's theme, please explore the world of work. Do Jedis work from home? Are droids taking our jobs? Does your promotion strategy mostly consist of waiting for your boss to get force-chocked to death? etc.

Thank you!

Hello,

For this Wednesday's theme, please mash together something Star Wars-y with a movie that isn't Star Wars-y.

Feel free to use AI tools if you like.

Kindly tag any themed posts with [MMW]

Thanks.

As everyone knows, it's where the real money is!

But what's the Star Wars thing you'd buy in an instant if only it was available? What's the most cynical thing introduced into Star Wars purely for the merch opportunities? (and can you think of more cynical one?)

Please tag themed posts with [MW]

Thanks.

Hello,

Wednesday's theme is all about education: what was learnt, and what should have been learnt; the pros and cons of a Jedi apprenticeship; how much the InterGalactic Banking Clan is still trying to claim; how old is too old to be trained in ways of The Force, etc.

Thanks.

Hello,

As you may be aware, there's an entire season of Andor told through headlines from The Onion.

They're good fun, so options for this Wednesday include:

• Post your favourite one of those
• Find a new headline for an image from there, or a new image (from anywhere in Star Wars) for a headline from there
• Scour The Onion for different headlines, and apply them to images (again, from anywhere in Star Wars).

If you can't find exactly what you want, a title that's roughly in the style of The Onion is okay, as are headlines that are slightly adjusted to fit.

Please tag themed posts with [BOW] - which stands for Blue Onion Wednesday (obviously).

I've been meaning to make a post, but with the Ahsoka finale coming up, I guess I shouldn't put it off any longer.

I'll offer my opinion, and hopefully we can come to some sort of consensus on the matter.

What's considered a spoiler?

For Star Wars, I'd say that any movie, or a season of any TV show that's been broadcast to completion, is fair game to meme about without worrying about spoilers.
There's lots of stuff that I'm planning to watch 'one day', and I've sort of accepted that I might happen across a spoiler, without expecting the rest of the world to patiently wait for me to catch up.
For things that are currently airing, I think that anything that's already been established by the show's premise isn't a spoiler. From Ahsoka's first official trailer, we know about the following appearances: Ahsoka, Sabine, Mara, Huyang, Ezra and Chopper; a Night Sister, two mercenaries, and Thrawn. So I'd argue that a meme depicting a Night Sister offering a data file to Thrawn isn't a spoiler, even though we had two reports saying it was.
Spoilers for Ahsoka would include: anyone dying; cameo appearances from characters in the wider universe; big revelations, the ultimate resolution, or anything really that someone might think you're being a bit of dick about revealing.
Ideally, you'd wait a couple of weeks to post about these, but if you can't wait ...

How to post a meme with a spoiler?

We're limited by the current state of lemmy as to how to do this.

• NSFW'ing stuff isn't that good: most people leave it unticked so you're massively limiting your audience, and whether it blurs an image is user-configurable, so it might not even work.
• Spoiler tags aren't supported widely with mobile clients, and Connect doesn't acknowledge Markdown inside of them
• An image inside a text post is likely to get scrolled past, and some clients will grab the first image from the body and use it as a thumbnail.

So the best way for now is probably to upload a generic image for the thumbnail, and include your meme as an inline image in the body of post, with something in the title to indicate a potential spoiler. You can re-use the image I've used for this post if you like. It's at https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/386b54a9-20d6-4ced-a9d6-a90f771b7171.webp
