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):
!starwarstelevision@lemmy.world

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.

Anakin was able to spot one instantly, and he was a slave on a planet so divorced from the Republic that they didn't even take credits.
Han acknowledging the Jedi as a fairy tale would be an improvement, but in A New Hope he just straight up says "I've been all over the galaxy and never heard of any shit like that"
I actually agree with basically all your points. But the Han Solo fan and pedant in me has to protest one claim.
Han doesn't say he's never heard of the Jedi, rather he echoes the apparetly prevalent view point of Admiral Motti from earlier in the movie, referring to the Force/Jedi as a "hokey religion". And then goes on to talk about it like it's a bullshit legend:
Which, all the other massive plot holes in the prequels aside, would make sense in context. Canonically, Han was about 10 when Order 66 happened. So the fact that he has heard of the Jedi and the Force, but believes it's all superstition and tall tales checks out.
Now, that I can get off that soap box... Yeah, the Prequels kinda felt like they were written by someone who had only heard the story of StarWars through the telephone game...
You're surprised a slave child on a backwater world read stories about magical knights with laser swords coming to save people... and remembered them?
Seriously?
I'd say he is 100% the MOST likely type of person to remember stories about the Jedi. The Jedi are like Santa Claus.
Yeah it's kind of all over the place. This is why prequels are, continuity wise, a pretty bad idea.
