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.

Anything before makes some sense, but a sloooooow moving carpet bomber that only works when on top of other spacecraft? I find it hard to believe it's mass produced, that's where i have to suspend my logical sense on top of my disbelieve for it to make sense, and it's only one small part of the problem.

Personally I don't think it's any worse than anything else in Star Wars.

Like the "blockade" formation in TPM - that would never even kind of work to shut down traffic, planets are BIG and incoming ships could simply go around the blockade ships.

Or Jango Fett's bass bombs in episode 2 shattering asteroids with shock waves - how are they propagating with no medium to propagate through?

Or the trench run in ANH, and luke's torpedo turning 90 degrees on a dime to go down the vent - why were they approaching from that angle in the first place? How does the torpedo just, suddenly change direction?

Or primitive teddy-bear aliens using rocks and sticks to absolutely ROFLstomp a galaxy-spanning empire armed with high-tech sci-fi superweapons in RotJ - imagine if the US failed to invaded Sentinel Island. Is that even distantly believable or realistic?

Or the way ships apparently have gravity at all times no matter what - in fact explaining it away with "artificial gravity generators" would lend itself to bombs dropped into that artificial gravity well making some kind of sense as a tactic, no?

Or lightsabers being lasers that just... stop. and are semisolid, somehow... lightsabers don't make a single lick of sense but they look wizard af.

Or like a billion other things in Star Wars that are nonsensical but visually fantastic, because you're not meant to think that hard about it, and most people who do seem to do so selectively based on whether they want to like the movie.
