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

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:
-
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.

Reminds me of when Leia said to Luke that there is a new hope now that he joined the rebellion.
She flubbed the line as "only hope" and they missed it while filming. They didn't have the tech to fix it in post. Like most films of that era they were made better by all those happy accidents.
This Phantom Menace might cause an Attack of the Clones for the Revenge of the Sith, I sure do want A new Hope before The Empire Strikes Back, Maybe we'll get a Return of the Jedi by the end of this StarWars
...
And absolutely nothing else.
What if the force awakens the last jedi and brings about the rise of Skywalker?
It won't, that's the end of my sentence.
It'll make a lot of rich people lots of money and have no noteworthy aspects.
I'd say it would have many noteworthy aspects... but those aspects would only be noteworthy for how utter shit they are...
Oh no! It looks like we're caught up in a star war!
Still a better line than "it's salt"
Star Wars Episode VIII: It's Salt
Resistance soldier: “What is the ground made of? It’s white on top and deep red underneath. Imma put it in my mouth.”
"Table salt?"
"No." Drops dead of poisoning.
Is this one of those things Lucas had put in the script but someone wiser changed and didn't tell him?
One of my favorite Red Letter Media quotes referring to the opening of Star Wars:
"We know everything we need to know just by the visuals. Rebels. Empire. We got a sense of how small and ill-equipped the rebels are and how large and powerful the Empire is. The low angle implies dominance, and the length of the Star Destroyer implies the Long Reach of the Empire. This shot says everything we need to know without saying one word. In fact, this is so genius, I have a feeling that George Lucas had nothing to do with it and probably fought against putting it in the movie."
This is the type of line that streaming execs would force their writers to implement for their movies and shows.
"it's star wars time"
Starts star waring
And then they struck Dak. :'(
