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):
!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.

Obi Wan Kenobi condemned thousands of souls to a pointless avoidable death by not force pulling Anakin's single limbed body back up the slope and amputating his head. Or his torso.
You'd think that would be a thing only rage would make you do, but Obi Wan's emotions were his weakness here, that he still harbored affection when a Jedi is SUPPOSED to be cold, dispassionate, and disciplined.
Euthanizing a being infected with Sith influence - especially if it is to the point that their obsession has cost them essentially EVERYTHING - is an objectively moral act of benevolence.
His mind, so clouded by emotion, PROLONGED Anakin's suffering. Letting someone burn alive is excessively cruel which is, unsurprisingly, bad, ACTUALLY. The ideal jedi would have ended the crippled and suffering Sith Thrall without further torturing it. As painlessly as possible. Perhaps even administering a heavy dose of painkiller from a medkit if they are carrying one (which they SHOULD be) so that the Sith Drone is lost in a haze of euphoria and not even aware of reality anymore when its head is separated from its body.
For good measure, it would be appropriate to entirely destroy the head OR to bring the head back with you so its brain can be studied; perhaps the Galaxy would benefit from a greater understanding of how Sith infection ravages the brain.
