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.

They (the Jedi council) discovered that Dooku was evil after/during the time they were forced to use the clones to rescue anakin and co. So like, yeah, the group of people involved in the clone creation was sus, but at the same time they were already neck deep in a war when it all came out and they had a moment to think about things.
A better Jedi council wouldn't have accepted the positions of generals over a slave army.
A better Jedi council would've stopped at using slave soldiers to rescue a pair of Jedi and a politician.
A better Jedi council would have been suspicious of a slave army being made in their name.
A better Jedi council would have treated anakin as a person first, instead of as child soldier / prophesied savior.
The better Jedi council didn't exist. It was an indolent, slow, and prideful Jedi council, and that's why they failed. That was the whole point; to stuck up in their own assess to see what's going on right in front of them.
I think it makes for a great story, if not the one that we might've hoped for.
Realistically the problem is that Lucas never stopped to ask himself "wait, isn't this a slave army?" and no one had the power to call him out because he was George Lucas.
I think Lucas was pretty decided in his portrayal of declining republics and their fall into empire. The plot was a mess, and his inability to write dialog gives an even worse impression of it all, but I think the themes were well laid.
The council would've been better if Yaddle and Yarael Poof had avoided their deaths.
If you say so. AFAIK that's legends stuff which I am not actually versed in.
Yaddle's death by the hands of Dooku appears in current Canon in the series Tales of the Jedi, which is a pretty good mini-series in the Clone Wars art style.
