Star Wars Memes

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

Technical note: if you're coming from another star system and are getting a "Subscription pending" message when trying to dock, that's just the console being slow to display the right message. The connection is already established. (Probably.)

==========

IMPORTANT

Do not post the "good friend" or similar copypasta

==========

Special days!

Friday and weekends: Caption contest. An image will be pinned, and we shall make captions for it and post them in the comments.

Wednesday: Theme day. We have Droids day, EU day, poem day, aliens day... Let the pinned post guide you. Memes with the theme are preferred.

==========

Other universes to visit:

!lotrmemes@midwest.social

!risa@startrek.website

Separatist systems:

!didyoueverhear@lemmy.world

!prequelmemes@lemmy.ml

!prequelmemes@lemmy.world

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

!star_wars@lemmy.world

!starwars@lemmy.ml

!starwars@lemmy.world

!starwarstelevision@lemmy.world

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.

Darth Maul was in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3, and you could change his special to the Dark Slide!

Looking it up, he also has the Dark Jedi Grind, which seems wrong, like aren't the sith and dark Jedi different?

Sith are different from Dark Jedi, yes. for IRL analogs, the Jedi Order is like the catholic church around Luther's time. The Sith are satanists, Dark Jedi are like Protestants.

Dark Jedi still perceive the Force under the paradigm of the Jedi, they just choose to embrace the Dark Side.

the third type of Jedi- Gray Jedi probably existed inside the Order itself- people like Jinn and Revan.

I had always thought it was an "all Sith are Dark Jedi, but not all Dark Jedi are Sith" thing. In that Dark Jedi are any force users that embrace the Dark Side, while the Sith represent a specific lineage/tradition of Dark Jedi, tracing back to the Sith species and the Sith Empire.

Eh. yeah. Kind of. Apparently NuCanon is that the Sith split from the Jedi "thousands of years ago." the point I was trying to make is that it's a question of degrees- medieval catholicism would have viewed protestants as heretics (and did all sorts of ugly things to them.); where the really dangerous ones were branded as satan-worshipers and... actively disposed of.

That said, the Sith definitely became their own little social club, and made sure everyone knew that they were distinct from the dark jedi.

Thanks for the new Lock Screen!

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Mullen the Wise?
