Star Wars Memes
Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

Other universes to visit:
Separatist systems:
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:
-
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.

Also bringing you hits like: "Somehow, Palpatine returned..." and "Yousa thinking yousa people ganna die?"
Don’t forget, “if you don’t play Fortnite, you’re going to miss important exposition”.
I'm going to need some help with this one...
Long story short, before rise of Skywalker there was a Fortnite event that featured emperor Palpatine sending a message to the universe that he was back. It never happened in the movies. Rise of Skywalker’s opening scrolling text talks about this message from Palpatine. It was all just a crummy afterthought.
This means episode 9 really is "made X from fortnite real". It's a 2 hour addition to a fortnite event. It makes so much sense now! crazed laughter
I would have been more forgiving if it were just a part of the Fortnite event.
Shit gets cut from movies all the time. No reason to be upset.
Nobody’s upset here buddy.
I'm not your buddy, friend.
I’m not your friend, pal!

Wait, did Palpatine canonically escape the Fortnite dimension?
Like... that's the 'somehow he returned?'
Fortnite is in Star Wars. They just haven’t been to that planet yet in the show.
Can't wait to see Rey discover the remains of an ancient battlebus.
Lol I forgot about that
I always wonder if it would have been awesome if the last Jedi ended with this instead of it popping up in Fortnite. Maybe it wouldn’t have felt like a stupid afterthought. Though clearly that’s what it was.
The entire "love story" between Anakin and Padme is barf worthy
Star Wars has never been "good". It's just always been entertaining. Luke is absolutely insufferable the the OT movies. He whines non-stop in ANH and Empire, and then he comes back in ROTJ as some snobby holier-than-thou prick. We just love Star Wars because it meant something to use when we were kids.
I loved star wars because the video games are (were?) almost always great. I never got into it as a kid. My friend was obsessed with it and I never understood the draw.
But I had undiagnosed adhd and my attention span was basically zilch.
"They fly now?"
They fucking always have. I hated this specific line so much, completely separate from other reasons to dislike 9.
Force healing and Disney kiss of resurrection
People's reaction to "Somehow, Palpatine returned" is very telling.
Poe isn't some internet wanker that's going to endlessly debate over the causes of evil returning. Poe doesn't need to know the reason evil returned, he just knows he has to oppose it. The exact method of evil returning is irrelevant to him. Why?
Because Poe Dameron is a fucking hero. Opposing evil is what he does. Debating irrelevant bullshit is for wankers.
Internet wankers get triggered by Poe not caring about how evil returned. Do you identify with internet wankers or do you identify with a guy that opposes evil without giving a shit about all of the wankery?
