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.

Wasn't the Rule of Two meant to stop all the infighting with the Sith but that just sounds like silo'd infighting.
No. Darth Bane implemented the Rule of Two for two reasons, to ensure the Sith could stay under the Jedi's radar and operate in secrecy, and to turn the infighting from a weakness into a strength.
Prior to Ruusan, the Sith's greed and ambition often led to several weaker Sith plotting together to take down more powerful Sith in higher ranks. That meant that over time, positions of power were filled by weaker Sith then before, meaning the order bled itself out.
Bane though, as the sole surviving Sith after Ruusan, set up the Rule of Two so there was only one apprentice at a time who had to be more powerful than their master in oder to overpower said master, leading over time to stronger and stronger masters and the order again gaining strength to exact its revenge.
Same as whyy Highlander duels had to be 1v1
No, it was implemented to stop twenty weaklings from killing a strong one. Bane thought their large numbers diluted the strength of the individual.
