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.)

IMPORTANT
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):
==========
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.

Honestly yeah, 1, 2, and 3 are amazing and never needed sequels.
I would argue that Jedi deserves everything the prequels get
RotJ is where Lucas started to not have pushback on story ideas. It still mostly works but some silliness is leaking through. Especially in the Special Edition, but Empire is the only one that really wasn't effected by those.
100% agree! RotJ is where the cracks started to show. I think people forget this because all the nonsense that followed, starting with the Special Editions, makes RotJ seem restrained in comparison.
I honestly cannot believe you forgot about the Skywalker twins.
"I've always known."
Somehow.
Still not as stupid as George's decision to have Leia remember their mother as "beautiful but sad" and then have Padme die two minutes after Leia is born. Like, damn, Leia's got a good memory.
I would be generous and interpret that as Leah remembering Bail Organa's wife (who it must remembered, she thought was her mother until like, an hour before that conversation), or else constructing memories of an ideal woman.
At least, until Obi Wan, but whatever
Your point still stands. She only found out she was adopted like an hour prior.
Wait, who did she find this out from? Her adoptive parents were presumably killed in Star Wars with the destruction of Alderaan.
It's also implied that she knew she was adopted. Luke asks her "do you remember your mother, your real mother?" and Leia replies "Just a little bit. She died when I was very young".
I've always believed that the Star Wars universe needs a faction that is cognizant that the cycle of Jedi / Sith is irrational fanaticism of ideology and the force is ideologically neutral.
I have always believed the force is always meant not to be balanced via organization, but balanced per person, that the truth is light side and dark side are just concepts and bad conclusions based on centuries of orthodoxy.
I kept thinking they'd go there, and they still haven't.
The Jedi sense of balance isn't balanced at all.
Bilbo Bagshot : What about the Ewoks? They were rubbish! You don't complain about them!
Tim : Yeah, but Jar Jar Binks makes the Ewoks look like fucking Shaft!
Leah makes out with Luke.
