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.

Death Darth Binks. https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWars/comments/3qvj6w/theory_jar_jar_binks_was_a_trained_force_user/
To be honest, waving a hand is a pretty natural thing to do while talking...
Like, I'm all about Jar Jar as a powerful force user, I just think like Anakin, he had comparatively little training, if any. And likely didn't know he was using the force, just lucky.
That also explains how he grew up and lived on a single planet with just his own people. If he was an actual Sith, how did he get trained? Also, it can explain how his people eventually figured it out.
When Jar Jar was around he always came out on top, and even tho he didn't make any sense, if you talked to him you ended up agreeing with him, then after he left it'd wear off and they'd realize it was a stupid sounding idea, but the stupid idea always seemed to work out.
If they were afraid of him, they'd have treated him better, instead he was treated as a freak that above all else, his own people that knew him best just wanted to avoid him, even if he was incredibly useful.
Like an old timey witch. They didn't like him because he was so strange, but they still saw his value and understood they may need him. When all else failed, they could always fall back on a Jar Jar plan, so stupid that it just worked.
I feel like that type of begrudginged acceptance explains the interactions more than everyone being scared of him.
But it's been a long time since I watched the prequels.
