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:

!lotrmemes@midwest.social

!tenforward@lemmy.world

Separatist systems:

!prequelmemes@lemmy.world

Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):

!star_wars@lemmy.world

!starwars@lemmy.ml

!starwarstelevision@lemmy.world

==========

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:

  1. 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.

  2. We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.

  3. 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!

  4. 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.

  5. 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).

  6. 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.

  7. Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.

There’s an episode of Top Gear where Jeremy Clarkson goes round the Nuerberg Ring in a fast car and boasts about his time. Sabine Schmitz who was a frequent collaborator and Neurberg Ring specialist said it was pathetic and that she could beat it in a van. So they set that up in a future episode - her in a shitty box Transit trying to beat his time.

She came very very close, although she was off by a fraction of a second.

The point is that perhaps Anni’s skill was demonstrated because he only drove shit…

[–] bcgm3@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

He's more tape now, than car... Twisted, and evil.

Obi Wan Kenobi's ghost

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 34 points 2 days ago

But he came back and that's the important part

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 6 points 1 day ago

Fixing them up is half the fun!

[–] stringere@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Parked next to his busted ass speeder, too!

Best Pilot, not best mechanic

[–] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 64 points 2 days ago (3 children)

The kid did build a podracer in a cave with a box of scraps.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 27 points 2 days ago

He wasn't in a cave! He did that shit right outside in the open!

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

He's not Tony Stark!

[–] nesc@lemmy.cafe 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It barely finished single race and had trouble to even start.

[–] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

How good could you do on a slave's salary?

[–] nesc@lemmy.cafe 1 points 2 days ago

He had a whole junkyard full of extremely obscure tech to himself.

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 28 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Couldn't even silence the obnoxious breathing on that suit.

[–] RustyShackleford@piefed.social 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I’m not sure. If I had been burned as severely as Darth Vader, I would also leave my breathing apparatus on the loud setting.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

He did that so no one could tell when he was wacking off.

[–] RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Why would he?

Loud breathing is way more intimidating and creepy compared to quiet breathing.

How do we know he could hear it?

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The misconception in the future is the force was a mystical entity with a light and dark side. On earth we knew that was just duct tape and spray foam.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 3 points 1 day ago

I always kept duct tape and a few wire coat hangers in my old beaters, because you can fix anything with duct tape and wire coat hangers. They saved me, and occasionally friends, many times.

[–] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 51 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Its like car racing today- sometimes being the best isn't being technically perfect, but just knowing how close you can push your machine to the brink of failure without actually disabling it.

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 35 points 2 days ago

Just get the car to the winner's circle. Everything after is the mechanics' problem!

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

That's always been racing

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Or like 2nd Lt. Frank Luke. Most of his planes looked like that when he was done.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 40 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Yeah, but see... He made it back. None of the other star pilot's ships are still in mostly one piece.

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 17 points 2 days ago

Another happy landing.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago

i mean, i was the unnofficial (fuck it i have a cold) IT guy at this one accounting firm. i was running XP because our work softwware ran better on XP. As everyone's boxes breoke, they got vista (fuck vista) and then 7. I was still running XP. finally i just asked my boss for a 7 box because i was running it at home. he said i was still running xp because i had kept it going so long and they all had a bet to see how long i could do it. kind of like a death pool. since i'd outlasted it by an operating system (they were expecting sometime during vista) i could get myself the fanciest rig i wanted. i asked him if he'd buy me an extra monitor for here and home, and since i'd saved him so much money on hardware upgrades he said yes. i fucking loved that job.

but yeah, that's why it makes sense to me.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago

I didn't know that I could experience sympathetic pain for a car, but apparently, I can.

[–] helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 26 points 2 days ago

You should see the other guys ship...oh wait

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 2 days ago

I mean, when the rest of every wing/squadron/etc. you've been a part of is essentially ablative armor for your plotline... 🫣🤷🏼‍♂️

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 11 points 2 days ago

No one would follow that car too closely. That's a good thing.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 21 points 2 days ago

“Another happy parking.”

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Me in star citizen now engineering and wear and tear exist

[–] this@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The other day I replaced a whole ship wing with an SRT. Ship looked like it was held together by tinfoil and hope.

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 5 points 2 days ago

Must be a Drake

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

Any one you walk away from…

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Looks like most of 2nd Lt. Frank Luke Jr's planes when he got done with them, and he is arguably the best Ace of WWI.

[–] ashenone@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 days ago

Yea Anakin was a poor kid. He couldn't afford to buy speed he had to build it. Daddy's money may be able to buy you that M5, but I guarantee the kid with the built civic that's held together with duct tape and zip ties is ten times the driver.

[–] baconsunday@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 days ago

Look, the best doesn't mean he was any good. Just best compared to the rest lol!
