Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.
Technical note: if you're coming from another star system and are getting a "Subscription pending" message when trying to dock, that's just the console being slow to display the right message. The connection is already established. (Probably.)

Do not post the "good friend" or similar copypasta

Special days!
Friday and weekends: Caption contest. An image will be pinned, and we shall make captions for it and post them in the comments.
Wednesday: Theme day. We have Droids day, EU day, poem day, aliens day... Let the pinned post guide you. Memes with the theme are preferred.

Other universes to visit:
Separatist systems:
Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):
!starwarstelevision@lemmy.world

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.
In Empire Strikes Back, a guy shows up on camera for maybe a second or two carrying what appears to be an ice cream maker. He now has his own backstory as Willrow Hood and it turns out it was a computer memory core that he was hiding away for the Rebel Alliance. Any character, no matter how small in any of the films had to have an elaborate backstory added, because people were so desperate for new Star Wars stuff in the time between the OT and the Prequels.
oh would i love to see a Willrow Hood movie with like a Terry Crews running around Cloud City with an ice cream maker because of a misunderstanding with Lando, written by Larry David. And the sound track would have a baseline that would make Kaja Googoo blush.
OMG! If I owned a studio I would geen light that in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, all I own is 1978 Ford Econoline van with shag carpet and captain seats. I might be willing to trade it for the right studio, though. My DMs are open for any offers.
I know its only been two hours and a on a Friday but.... how good are the offers you are receiving? Really hoping your deal comes through!
Christ I hope the Rick and Morty writers don't read this.
"After the Rebels' victory, Hood decided to take it easy."
I love it.
There’s a few gadgets in star wars… that the prop of which is in most science fiction (or similar) films because the creature and prop guys always sneak them in… and at the time the group was pretty much the only guys doing that kind of work.
That's what happens If you start a universe without a plan. And it is not just the costume designers at fault here.
tbh Star Wars wasn't planned to become the largest franchise ever
who's fault is it also?
Leorge Gucas, George Lucas' evil twin.
Definitely not mine. For me, Star Wars is an example of shit that happens If one f-ups the the world building.
Don’t forget the old reliable: retcon
So Han did or did not shit Shoot first?
Correct. Inclusive or.
Yes
"So this guy who got split in half and fell to a void is somehow still alive, and this other guy who got thrown into space also survived and is the main villain in the chronological last movie without any previous advice"
Some of the smartest things I've ever heard came from talking to other fanboys; we had to come up with ways to justify the most insane nonsense in our favorite works.
That's something Roddenberry was good at. Someone was talking to him about the grav boots, and his reply was basically "don't explain shit, the fanboys will work it out."
George Lucas: "MiDiChLoRiAnSSSSSSS!!!!!"
Some are smarter than otehrs...
Woodoo hide!

It's all Greebles?
It always has been.
