Stargate is superior to Star wars
Imagine if the sequel trilogy's money was instead thrown at the SG writers and crew.
Disney would have drained its soul, too.
I don't know, Stargate died even harder than Star Wars ever did.
at least there isn't official fan fiction walking around wearing it's skin
Not yet. Once their done with Start Trek and Star Wars, it will be Stargate's turn.
At least Lower Decks is awesome

I dare to disagree. Stargate Universe was not particularly well received, yes, but the second season is where it hit its stride, especially the second half. It got cancelled just after it got good.
I love Stargate Universe. I would love if they revived it, and with the final cliffhanger they can easily explain away aging cast members or significant cast changes. Throw in some new personnel coming via whatever shoehorned reason and carry on.
Add "lighting done so we actually see what the fucks going on". Sick of these dark, foggy, desaturated scene to hide the set budget was 12 cents.
Keep in mind Star Wars isn’t sci-fi. It’s a fantasy space opera.
It’s not supposed to be practical.
It was a cheap drama wrapped in a military sci Fi, which is such a strange mix.
Sometimes it worked really well. But honestly I found myself wanting all the military sci Fi and often getting blue balls
"Listen up we now have an ENTIRE FUCKING SPACE SHIP, that's right, built on earth, for humanity, warp fucking drive, GUNS"
"OH and it's going to get pummeled on every single encounter." The actual first voyage is the Prometheus getting taken out by like... Missiles from a modern civilization
Hum... And Stargate is any different?
I'm going to go with yes. Since unlike Star Wars, Stargate has multiple enemies and is closer to Star Trek with its episodic nature. Although some(ok, most) of the enemies are based on ancient fantasy characters, I would say that what actually makes them different is simply technology as opposed to any legitimate magic powers(the force). I think that easily takes it from fantasy into Science Fiction. Perhaps this argument loses support when it comes to the ORI. But what about the wraith, the goauld, the ancients, the Jaffa, the tokra, the nox, the replicators, and the Asgard?
Of all the Star Wars shows to visit a post-apocalyptic world with child soldiers, I certainly didn’t expect it to happen in the fun 80s kids adventure. :-) Seems like more of an Andor thing.
Yep, surprisingly great show. Reminds me of Clone Wars. Kid friendly but also still quality TV.
Speaking of, when are we getting more Andor… maybe with some sweet crossover action with Din Djarin, they can call it The Andorlorian!
…that was a joke, please stop looking at me like that

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):

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.
