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.

They take them as infants.
Government sanctioned. You know. For the greater good.
The real reason the Jedi rarely take strays that can talk in; is because the mind of a toddler is easily molded through the force.
Yup.
Nope. If we follow the lore as intended, the order switched to toddlers after a bloody civil war left a dude in charge that decided attachments are the source of all evil and training in the force should begin before any form of attachment is allowed to take root.
That’s just, like, propaganda.
I mean. Think about it. The Force’s very nuture is connecting all living things, right? The Force is attachment.
"Attachment" is not the same as connection. The concept the Jedi are talking about is the Buddhist idea of attachment. It's possessiveness, codependency, fear of loss. One cannot be fully connected to anything they're attached to.
You've been misled by the Sith propaganda my friend.
And it's very possessive. Yandere type.
Yea this always seemed like a major plot hole to me. How are the Jedi good if their entire ethos is about isolating yourself from everyone and everything you've ever loved or had a connection to?
Read about Buddhism, it's basically that.
I'm familiar with Buddhism. I also don't see it as inherently "good," it just "is." Which I think most Buddhists would agree with.
On the other hand, the Jedi are explicitly the "good guys" in a very black and white universe.
The greater good.
SHUT IT!
