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

Separatist systems:
Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):

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.

The more things change....
Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.
great song
A great way to flex the ol’ falsetto. Geddy Lee’s voice is insane.
Sorry if I'm being nitpicky here, but falsetto is those breathy high-notes (think beejees, or Rivendell if you want to stick to rush). This song is all head voice. No worries though, I had to Google this just to make sure I wasn't lying because I wasn't certain.
I think the differentiation between those terms is tenuous and depends on whom you ask, but regardless, I’m not a tenor like Geddy Lee. I can’t hit those notes in my normal register. I’m a bass. So to hit most Rush songs, I have to shift register. Whether we call that “head voice” or “falsetto,” either way, I’ve beefed up that register singing Rush and other high-voiced rock (and also descants for fun) so it has lost a lot of the weakness commonly associated with the term falsetto. It doesn’t have the timbre of an actual tenor, but I can still sound remarkably good considering it’s outside my “normal” range.
Edit: Just to clarify, I don’t disagree with you that Geddy Lee isn’t singing falsetto, I’m saying that for me that song is a good way to flex my falsetto. Which always shocks people who hear my low voice. 😁
