Jedi must live by a code
(lemmy.world)
Why is Qui-Gon replying with "made in mematic"
He did too many midichlorians
He's so strong he can break the fourth wall.
Qui-Gon: Credits will do fine. [while attempting a mind trick]
Watto: No, they won’t.
Qui-Gon: Credits WILL do fine.
Watto: No, they won’t.
Qui-Gon: [Walks down street to money exchanger] Trade me these credits for Hutt bucks [Does mind trick]
Money Exchanger: Okay!
[Qui-Gon returns to Watto]
Qui-Gon: Here's a pile of Hutt bucks. Sell me a functional hyperdrive.
Watto: Okay!
[Roll credits]
The thing with the Jedi mind trick is that only Jedi's think it works.
Everyone else just see a scary lightsaber guy asking them to repeat a sentence and are more than happy to comply if it means they get left alone.
There's a limit to how much you can pretend though.
-
Letting an old man and a kid drive through a checkpoint? Fine, someone else's problem.
-
Selling an obvious narc deathsticks? Yeah, maybe going home and rethinking your life is the right call here.
-
Handing over all your life savings for a bad deal? Uh, no actually.
"These aren't the droids you're looking for."
"Yeah, sure, whatever you say, man. I just work here."
"I'm not even supposed to be here today!"
And stormtroopers are supposed to be very disciplined and resistant to bribery.
Resistant to bribery, yes. Not resistant to light sabers.

Is it a bad deal though? Are credits worthless to money changers in this context?
I took it more like galactic credits are banned on Tatooine , and no trader who didn't want any trouble with the Hutts would be dealing with them. Taking them on would be a world of trouble, like fencing stolen goods
That's not a bad explanation.
Yeah... why the fuck didn't he do that? I mean the place he was in was hosting a giant ass pod racing championship with tons of visitors, are you expecting us to believe that no one would appreciate republic credits there?
It would be like if you time traveled to 2001 and tried to spend USD with some drug dealer in some backwater country and they laughed in your face... are you kidding me? USD then and now (though it might be in decline) is often preferred to local currency.

Wait why do they need to mind trick a money exchanger? Isn’t it just their job to exchange money? You just need to hand them the credits. OK maybe you’ll get gouged on the exchange rate but it’s not like they were poor. Alternatively I’m sure there’s something of value on a fancy vessel that they could just sell.
Why not just trade the fancy vessel for a less fancy but functional vessel. I'm sure the queen could afford it.
My boss would not appreciate me swapping a company car for a beat up prius. Imagine Mace Windu's scowl
Just for shits and giggles
They didn't need to mind trick the money exchanger, they just did it cause it's fun mind trick hand wave
Still gets to be a force ghost for some reason
so did Anakin the Orphan Crushing Machine, the bar for entry seems to be somewhere between normies and force-choking your babymom

It just occurred to me that this meme needs like 2 modifications to be about Paul Atreides
It translates to a more profitable video game
Do you remember the arcade version? That was awesome!!
I had the Win98 version growing up, but i think the Dreamcast one may be better.
I do. Do you remember how the N64 version emulated the arcade version by being played with two controllers? You held one controller in each hand and used the joysticks as the left and right engine throttles.
I think Dreamcast ran at a much higher frame rate, it looked amazing.
if any franchise needs a reboot is that podracer game.
high speed gladiatorial races. Mario kart with more boomboom
I played this demo for a game called Ascent: Rivals at a convention last year. It was like a modern pod racing game, it was pretty cool. They have a demo up on steam that I’ve had in my wishlist for a while now, tho I haven’t really looked at it in a year.

Nono you see... after my plan, we get to keep the boy.
(also he did try to free his mom but then like... gave up after receiving one no, but at least the attempt was made or something?)
And then he still cheats by force manipulating the dice.
Child endangerment is the Jedi way.
That’s why they are given laser swords that can cut through anything at age six!
they are given laser swords
You mean those kids didn't go through the Jedi ritual of constructing their own lightsabers? What has happened to our cherished traditions?!
Palps strip mined Ilum so it's probably better that we don't send younglings there any more.
Ah yes because Dantooine and it's fucked up dark side giant cave spiders is so much better.
At least before the fall of the republic, it was apparently common for Jedi Padawans to be locked in a cave to face a trial against their deepest fear to get a Kyber Crystal to even make their lightsaber in the first place. If they failed to conquer their fear, they died.
Edit: apparently they don’t die per se, but are meant to believe they will and also if they fail, they might be stuck there. It’s weird and still not ethical

He could’ve just put Renton on the game.
On a scale of 1 to 10, how much space-weed do you reckon Qui-Gon Jinn smokes in a given day?

"Exactly. This is why I am the master, Obi-Wan. You have a lot to learn about the ways of the Force."
Crap fanfiction!
The Prequels, I mean.
Makes me so angry. Imagine the plot of the prequels but written and produced like Andor.
And don't imagine the sequels at all.

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.
