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.

So the problems with the other plans is that it could tip off the Trade Federation, but the convoluted plan they went with was better even though it also tipped off the Trade Federation?
The sensible plan would be to get off the planet as quickly as possible, the longer they stayed there the more likely they'd be discovered. Which is what happened.
Selling the flashy ship and either buying a less conspicuous ship or simply booking passage on a ship would mean they wouldn't have to wait until after Boonta Eve to leave. Maybe even hire a smuggler that has experience in evading detection? Given the enemy is a Trade Federation that has a penchant for blockades there's probably a good number of smugglers with experience in getting around those blockades and those smugglers are no friends of the Trade Federation.
But since they already did the thing that makes the most sense in Star Wars already they gotta change it up. But that means doing something that doesn't make a lot of sense.
They only need to get the value of transport to Coruscant, they don't need to get the full value of what the ship is worth.
I mean if someone said they would give you a Lamborghini with broken engine in exchange for a ride to the next state, you wouldn't take that deal? Sure it might be a headache for you to either tow it to a garage to get it repaired or find a buyer who will buy it as-is, but you're talking about something like $100K in value just for giving some people a lift somewhere.
They could be out of there almost immediately if the safety of the Queen was top priority and were willing to take a huge loss on the sale of the ship.
