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

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.

The deaths of both Luke and Leia were really dumb. It's like they were going out of their way to make Leia's death unpredictable after Fisher died. Episode 8 took 3 good deaths away: the two mentioned above and Finn's.
Not to mention how the fuck does Rose even catch up to Finn at all when she had turned back and he kept going at full speed intending to kamikaze that cannon but then somehow she's able to hit him from the side and they both survive the serious collision in barely functional vehicles (after surviving an even bigger collision when one capital ship lightspeeded into another one and it tore open the room they were in--in fucking space!)
And Luke dies from using the force too hard, which is also what kills Leia from sending a message to her son, who in the meantime has been having full conversations with Rey where they see each other and exchange objects between their respective realities.
Episode 8 was just so bad. There's very little that redeems the movie. Even one of the cooler moments, Ben killing Snoke, was poorly done because a sith Lord should have been able to sense that attack the moment he started turning the lightsaber towards him. It should have been a sudden "lightsaber ignites and then rotates" and even then, Snoke should have had a brief reaction that failed to save him rather than being completely surprised.
And there's still a lot I haven't even mentioned.
