Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

Technical note: if you're coming from another star system and are getting a "Subscription pending" message when trying to dock, that's just the console being slow to display the right message. The connection is already established. (Probably.)

IMPORTANT

Do not post the "good friend" or similar copypasta

Special days!

Friday and weekends: Caption contest. An image will be pinned, and we shall make captions for it and post them in the comments.

Wednesday: Theme day. We have Droids day, EU day, poem day, aliens day... Let the pinned post guide you. Memes with the theme are preferred.

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.

Repost from Risa@startrek

As a millennial, the Trek VS Wars debates always confused me. Star Trek is philosophy and political science class in a scifi, flavor of the week format. And Star Wars is fantasy in a science fiction setting. Why can't we all just love them for what they are?

Here we see Deeana Troi poking fun at how quickly a couple retcons about family and the force sort of ruin the first half of a New Hope. If Luke could call out to Leia at the end of ESB then how did Vader not know here?

And then the Super Hacker Cameo guy predictably betrays them and disappears forever, and the super important maguffin they needed him for wasn't at all necessary, and the entire plot thread could have been cut from the movie without changing any of it.

Among all the bullshit I could call TLJ on, this is the most egregious.

It's writing 101 that you cut what doesn't serve a purpose, if you can remove an entire chunk of your story and nothing changes, then you wrote an unnecessary plot point and should rework the script to account for it and make the characters do something more useful, creative, or intelligent.

Lazy. Lazy-ass writing. That's all that movie is.

Have you ever even thought about how much time it would have taken Finn to construct a stretcher and drag Rose? Forget the fact that they don't shoot him for a second, this dude covers like five miles in an implied 3-5 minutes. Finn is a super soldier apparently.

It feels like they made the trailer in a total vacuum, and then had to write the movie around the scenes they'd already shot for the trailer. Working their way backwards to design the plot.

It felt like I was watching someone play with their action figures.

And then Finn is like racing at the AT-ATs, and it's like "fvrrrrshooo" but then at the last second, Rose comes out of nowhere and is like "krshpoosh" and then is like "we have to protect love" or something.
