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.

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.
Edit: please excuse the typo. I probably shouldn't use Sunforged as an editor.
Good Sir, I am far too.old and grumpy to be excusing typos. You should be ashamed. I demand a retraction, and I will be writing a very tersely worded letter to your editor.
This meme compaiont contains too many letters. Please remove three. I am not a crackpot
Of course you arent. I submit my revised comment:
Good Person, I am far too crotchety to be excusing typos. You should be ashamed. I demand a retraction, and I will be writing a very tersely worded letter to your editor.
I think that you will find that taking into consideration the unused spaces I have met your requirements, but of course I welcome any notes that you may have. - Cas
Star Wars is like the defining fantasy space opera. Star Trek is peak episodic sci fi. The fact that such wildly different genres can fall under sci fi is part of what makes the genre both fascinating and nonsense as a categorization. And that’s not even bringing space westerns into the fold.
As a fan of both, neither are truly Sci-fi. They both use it as dressing, but one is an action fantasy and the other is drama with emphasis on social commentary. Neither are really harder sci-fi than the other in the grand scheme of fiction. Star Wars may even be a bit better in that at least they don't try to explain most of the tech so it can't self contradict as much as Trek does.
So is Arthur C. Clarke sci fi? Is Asimov?
Typo in the first panel was really confusing.
Let the meme wars commence!
Meme wars are hellsome
I said LET THE MEME WARS COMMENCE
are all SW fans this materialistic.. maybe that's the difference..
I don't think my region's definition of materialistic is the same as yours, I'm not sure what you're trying to say?
I think Theo had made it clear they gave no idea what materialistic means.
makes me wonder if one's worldview is materialistic, whether your definition of the word would be useful.. because it would be coming from inside materialism, which we wouldn't want to trust to be honest about itself..
apparently it will argue in meme though, which makes a lot of sense.. materialism and image go together well..
try taking some deep breaths, Padawan
I'm alright, I just like making memes.
I do have absolutely no idea where this materialism stuff came from, so I am quite confused.
fascinating.. faced with confusion, you respond by presenting argumentative images and simply repeating the fact that you are confused.. perhaps the internet has taught you that this is a fruitful activity in these circumstances..
I, wrongly, assumed that you would provide more explanation or context at some point in time.
Fascinating, faced with a response of incomprehension and a request for more context, you providing nothing further. Perhaps you assume that decoding, rather than coding or modulation, must be the error?
I am intrigued by what you actual message is, if I can ever get to it.
Have you ever spoken to another human before?
can you prove you're human
I don’t think DS9 is universally held up as the best but it has a unique subset of Trek fans who absolutely love it. Their enthusiasm for their favorite might actually peak higher than any other title’s fans. But they are not a majority.
finger wags
"You tell 'em, Benjamin!"
I just know there could be a bonus panel here where one of them smacks baby Grogu, but I can't think of it.
Ahahaha.
Maybe Grogu saying “I like both” or something like that?
Lol. That's perfect.
What framing device and how is DS9 different in that sense? Like how the story is framed as a mirror to current society?
The exploratory space ship framing.
I actually like Voyager the best, because it has most of the action. I also love the dumbass time travel shit. Fuck you, time travel is cool! 😭
