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.

I actually also dislike almost all of the art styles, but I know that's a personal quirk, so I wasn't going to mention it :P

I found both seasons (I'm a completionist, so I've seen them all) to be about the same as far as story quality, personally. Like maybe one good one each? I don't think season 2 had anything quite as cringe as the Tatooine rock band thing from season 1 though haha

I mean, my main point about Visions is that it's something unorthodox and creative, quite a polar opposite of dull and predictable dross like... Some other projects are. So even if it's not all amazing or anything, I'm still glad that it exists.

These are the kinds of projects that may lead to something cool in the future. It used to be the case that large movie studios would have an offshoot for small experimental projects, but that's not really the case that much anymore. It's how Lucas has gotten his start, while Disney today is the last studio where I'd expect something else than predictable blockbusters for everyone. So I'll take what I can.

Completely agree. I'm glad they felt comfortable branching out like this. Much better than just shitting out a bunch of Episode IXs or whatever.

An analogue, I think, is how oddball Star Trek: Lower Decks is. That show 100% works for me, but it was clearly a risk

[–] WhoRoger@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Haven't seen Lower Decks yet, but yes I'm a fan of that concept. Actually the TNG episode Lower Decks, VOY's Good Shepherd and some others that show the life of the other people than just the main cast, are among my favorites.
