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.

Star Wars is a knockoff of Dune even Frank Herbert thought it was ripping off many things. He said that if George Lucas didn't rip him off then he at least owed him dinner for all the coincidences
Oh boy, just wait until he sees what Games Workshop did.
He is dead, but his son and another "author" wrote a large amount of sequels, prequels, and spinoffs with the "of Dune" added on to sell hot trash.
That is directly ripping off his ideas unlike anything Games Workshop could ever do.
They shat on his ideas lol
But you can’t say they ripped off his ideas, as the books are technically cannon and direct sequels. Sadly…
Apparently based on notes Frank left, for all we know his "notes" could have been:
1.) Write more Dune books. 2.) profit.
If anything, Star Wars is a rip off of "The Hidden Fortress". I'm not super knowledgeable about Dune, what parts did George take?
I don't have a full list but Frank Herbert had once said there was 16 coincidences between the two stories. One or two is a random chance, 16 is plagiaristic.
Why of course - I love when the space wizards of Dune start doing a bunch of flips while waving around their glowing blades made of pure light.
Well when you read the last book and learn about Miles Teg you will see the spice wizard. The laser swords though wouldn't happen. When a laser intersects with a shield then a giant atomic explosion happens.
Nah, of Valerian & Laureline. Or both.
