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):

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.

Do you remember the arcade version? That was awesome!!
I had the Win98 version growing up, but i think the Dreamcast one may be better.
I do. Do you remember how the N64 version emulated the arcade version by being played with two controllers? You held one controller in each hand and used the joysticks as the left and right engine throttles.
I do! Too bad the N64 version looks like old ass.
I think Dreamcast ran at a much higher frame rate, it looked amazing.
if any franchise needs a reboot is that podracer game.
high speed gladiatorial races. Mario kart with more boomboom
I played this demo for a game called Ascent: Rivals at a convention last year. It was like a modern pod racing game, it was pretty cool. They have a demo up on steam that I’ve had in my wishlist for a while now, tho I haven’t really looked at it in a year.
hope that instead of getting a cease and desist, they get offered to make an official podracer
Deathgrip is another spiritual successor in the same vein as the one you linked, although it's been stuck in development hell for a while now I think. I haven't heard anything about the project since the demo hit and it's still set to release into early access in 2025
I’ll have to check that one out, thanks!
And, it works with the Dreamcast VGA cable. Very nice picture quality.
At the time, the Dreamcast seemed a generation ahead of the competition, I'm still in disbelief that it failed
If it had two sticks and a DVD drive, it would have been really great. But they stuck with the kinda dumb Saturn layout, despite the Dual Shock being out for a couple years at that point. The keyboard and mouse support was an awesome addition, but a dual analog controller would have been awesome.
It was mainly the fact that the games could easily be copied by anybody with a decent CD burner.
Shortly after a game dropped, a guy would come around my work selling shady copies on cdr in jewel cases with bubble jet printed covers for $20.
Can't sell a system if nobody is buying games.
Also, had a buddy that used a bootloader on it to watch downloaded anime back when only the must mainstream stuff was available in the West.
Hell yes it was.
I've never played any Star Wars game, I just knew this bit of trivia
