Star Wars Memes

Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

==========

Other universes to visit:

!lotrmemes@midwest.social

!tenforward@lemmy.world

Separatist systems:

!prequelmemes@lemmy.world

Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):

!star_wars@lemmy.world

!starwars@lemmy.ml

!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:

  1. 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.

  2. We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.

  3. 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!

  4. 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.

  5. 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).

  6. 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.

  7. Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.

How is star wars woke. Woke is a social construct conservative people use.

That's the joke. It's not really a criticism. It basically implies Peter is being racist.

Woke is a social construct conservative people use.

My dude, Woke is a concept that the culture wars have stolen and mangled. It goes back over a hundred years.

And you won't be surprised at all regarding who they stole it from.

How a Black activist watchword got co-opted in the culture war.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woke#Origins_and_usage

Edited to confess I don't use it in the original context either. I use it like the article mentions near the end:

"People today who identify as woke see themselves as having been awakened to a new set of ideas, value systems, and knowledge”

I don't actually use it out loud (primarily because of what conservatives have done to the word), but yeah, once you start looking behind the curtain, it's hard to view it any other way but as an awakening.

I suppose it would be a very boring movie if all actors were just asleep the whole time.
