Star Wars Memes

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.

Disney+ has a problem where they are very strong but in very specific genres. I go for the Marvel and Star Wars stuff, but am not interested in kids or teens stuff. Depending on the details, this could make it nicer by filtering out the stuff I will never be interested in
Spoiler alert, but they aren't gonna slash their prices so you only pay for what you want. They are gonna bill you yhe same, take away all your options, and then charge you another $4 a month for Marvel, and another $5 for Star Wars.
Then they'll make you watch commercials.
And they will package the Marvel with stuff you don't want but make you pay for to get the Marvel and the same for Star Wars.
The high seas sure looks inviting again...
Yeah, i imagine it's gonna be two tv packages, plus a "Princess" package that has all the classic Disney and Pixar animation movies, so the end result is that people just doubled what they pay for Disney+
Probably, but they’ll lose a lot of people who keep their subscriptions.
Not enough to lose money overall. People are sleepwalking through life. We cannot get a general strike over healthcare, let alone a tiny boycott over prices.
All they need is for the sum value of the price increase to be greater than the loss of subscriptions.
They have been removing shared accounts, and while the number of eyes have reduced, the profit has increased.
I use it for Marvel and Star Wars too (especially with the somewhat renewed faith in live action offerings thanks to Andor),but also watch shows like Dave, The Bear, Extraordinary, Abbot Elementary, The Orville etc on Disney+. This is in the UK. I believe some of those show on Hulu where that service exists.
I go there to watch simpsons and futurama and king of the hill and all that crap that I have seen like 10 times (for simpsons and futurama not enough) but it still makes me giggle when I'm high
