I hate fascism. It's rough and irritating. And it gets everywhere!
As someone living outside America, it really does get everywhere
Fascism famously doesn't exist in Europe.
Americans (Stanford) legitimised it, and Europe elites thought it was cool
At least we'll have some time before the whole liberty dying with applause...oh shit, we're doing a speed run!
Constitution abolishment, any %
My bingo card did not have /r/prequelmemes becoming relevant
And my expectations were so low

*Duel of the fats starts playing*
Edit: anyone know how to make a music AI recreate duel of the fates with just tuba?
Who's dueling Fats Domino?
Fats Waller traditionally
Thank you. I looked, YouTube search failed me.
Recently saw an episode of The Simpsons where they made fun of the procedural parts of Phantom Menace: https://youtu.be/3lPG1u6EbiY
It felt very different in the current context. They were mocking it as a gag, but it felt kinda earnest for a second. Like, when fascism occupies the bureaucratic processes, it’s farcical and also boring.
That was the better part of the prequels
That and Dooku but they wasted him in 3 and ruined his character in the cartoon
Everybody struggling to remember the part where a movie about space wizards, robots and explosions said anything about trade route taxes.
The opening crawl
When will get to the point where Trump gets thrown into certain death? Preferably while cutting out all the genocide by planet destroying laser part.
That was 2020.
However, somehow, ~~Palpatine~~ Trump returned.
So the empire struck back?
My man doesnt have a chin.
I wonder if he'd be proud of Andor making Trump jokes
Andor made Trump jokes?
In season 3
Huh? Season 3 of what? I'm lost.
Andor. I was joking. I've no clue what the other commenter was on about, with Trump jokes in Andor. They can't make a season 3 of Andor.
Oh I didn't notice you were a different person lol 😆
Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

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.
