Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.
==========
Other universes to visit:
Separatist systems:
Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):
!starwarstelevision@lemmy.world

IMPORTANT
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.

LOL, it was your phrase dude. Also, there are two versions of the scene; Ben's retelling, where Luke swung at him, and Luke's retelling, where he didn't. I think Luke's version is probably more accurate, but even then he pulled out his weapon, ignited it, and nearly swung before hesitating. So let's say, "Luke almost trying to kill Ben," if you wanna be pedantic about your own words.
This is regarding the post rather than this specific comment.
You’ve constructed a thread nearly guaranteed to have uncivil arguments in the comments. Right or wrong in the details of your argument, you’ve invited yet another moshpit of negativity about Star Wars.
If you don’t like the sequels, it seems obtuse to make a thread arguing with other people who also don’t like them, but are doing it “wrong”. If you do like the sequels, posting positively about them and letting your enjoyment change peoples’ minds is more constructive than trying to debate people into enjoying them.
You are a very prolific poster on lemmy. Your posts get a lot of visibility, and therefore do contribute to setting a tone. If you like Star Wars, why make that tone negative?
Food for thought.
Ah yes. The meme that specifically is calling out false complaints and negativity within the community that is directed towards nothing is checks notes is actually negative itself.
Like I said. Thanks for reminding me why I love Star Wars and avoid the fanbase of it like the absolute fucking plague.
Like I said you’ve constructed a thread at people and designed to cause arguments. If you like the sequels, make a post about what you like and convince people by showing them what good you see, rather than telling them what they see is wrong.
This isn’t a comment in the debate style where I’m going to go back and forth with you and snip out tidbits of your post to get the worst reading on them. I’m trying to talk, not debate. I’m not trying to “win” but cutting you down. I’m trying to convince you to contribute to making Star Wars threads about Star Wars rather than about fandom infighting.
Chew on it a bit.
