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.

Is she not even pulling the trigger? Can someone stabilize on the finger?

Who cares

[–] joyjoy@lemm.ee 23 points 3 months ago (5 children)

I care that a laser pistol has a recoil.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

It’s a blaster.

It blasts stuffs. What do you want, scientific accuracy in a space opera fantasy?

Okay. Then lasers also have recoil… just different recoil.

[–] teft@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Not all blasters fire particle beams. Some fire plasma bolts that could conceivably give recoil. Also she is using the stun setting here. Maybe that gives extra kick.

[–] Eheran@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago

Given the low velocity of the projectile, it could at best shot twice before it's mass is gone.

[–] MindTraveller@lemmy.ca 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That's not a laser pistol. Star Wars blasters are plasma weapons. Brush up on your lore if you're gonna nitpick.

poser doofus

[–] synae@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 3 months ago

Uh huh. And what about the people hit by the laser blasts getting knocked back, do you care about those?

Momentum is conserved even if it's perfectly coherent light

[–] the_post_of_tom_joad@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

That sounds cromulent to me

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

That reminds me... someone needs to make a u/stabbot equivalent for Lemmy.
