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.

I was crucified so hard back on Reddit for saying this, that I loaded up Lego star wars, and set up Andor as the P2 character and just kept killing him for twenty minutes.
I don't even hate the show. I just hate all the people trying to Gaslight me into believing that I'm some kind of moron who is incapable of understanding the Brilliance of the show when in reality I understand "Empire Bad" just fine.. and also it's not exactly new information... I merely find it incredibly boring. I don't respect the show enough to hate it.
By that I mean it doesn't stir half emotions within me for me to even bother thinking about it beyond my initial impression.
Meanwhile I can tell you on every level how book of Boba Fett was a grand disappointment that served no purpose outside of assassinating the character of Boba Fett and hyping up the third season to a show that ironically I didn't watch because of how bad book of Boba Fett butchered every character not nicknamed Mando.
As for Andor, it's not even bad.
I don't mean that it's not bad, it's that I can't give an opinion on the show that doesn't also apply to watching paint dry, because that is also defined by the three fundemental remarks slow, boring, and not Star Wars.
Ahahaha
Brutal! But, based on the handful of episodes I watched, on point. Just such a weird choice. "You know that universe, famous for laser sword fights, exciting space battles and dialogue that winks at the camera? Let's strip out all that joy and make a not particularly well written serious drama there!"
I basically agree with you on Boba Fett but I have to admit, getting super baked and (spoilers) watching him destroy stuff while riding a goddamn rancor was like watching my childhood sandbox dreams come to life.
I get the feeling this was written by a guy who really wished he was writing a Game of Thrones knock-off, but somehow failed upward and now he has to do that beloved franchise that prints money... Apparently in interviews he admitted to not liking Star Wars.... Given how long it took for Stormtroopers to show up instead of "Guys in generic military uniforms", I could kind of tell.
Launchs my friend, you're kind of alright.
Ballsy thing to admit but you're right, that absolutely tracks.
Awww, thanks, right back atchya Queen!
