Star Wars Memes

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

==========

Other universes to visit:

!lotrmemes@midwest.social

!tenforward@lemmy.world

Separatist systems:

!prequelmemes@lemmy.world

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

!star_wars@lemmy.world

!starwars@lemmy.ml

!starwarstelevision@lemmy.world

==========

IMPORTANT

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:

  1. 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.

  2. We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.

  3. 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!

  4. 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.

  5. 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).

  6. 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.

  7. Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.

Does Mara Jade even exist in Disney canon? In old EU she certainly wasn't a Jedi during ESB.

But yes, especially with Disney canon the number of Jedi or "former Jedi and not Jedi anymore but actually basically still just Jedi" running around has gotten out of control. I chalk it up to the original trilogy vaguely assuming the clone wars had happened longer ago than ended up being written.

Mara Jade is in Star Wars: Masters of Teräs Käsi which will forever be complete and inarguable canon just like the Holiday Special.

The Expanded Universe is not Disney canon. The Solo kids, Chewie, Palpatine clones, Thrawn, none of it played out the way it happens in the books. It is theoretically possible that between The Mandolorian episode where we see youger Jedi Master Luke, and the end of The Force Awakens where we meet Old Jedi Master Luke, that Luke met Mara Jade, got married, and fathered a child. But there was no mention of it in the new Disney trilogy or associated TV shows. So I would assume she doesn't exist until someone adds her to a story, and even then I wouldn't assume she would have the same role.

I think they could conceivably tie in Thrawn with the efforts to clone the Emperor with the ST's interpretation of him coming back still. It was hinted in Mando already and I could see Thrawn being emboldened by the Emperor's return to start planning for the First Order or the dark fleet.

I think you misread my comment. She wasn't a Jedi in the old EU, and as far as I know she doesn't exist in new canon. So I'm wondering why she is on the list of Jedi running around, as no matter which continuity you pick, she doesn't seem to fit.

You do realyze the meme has Lucas saying she doesn't count, right?

[–] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Yes, although that response image is about Lucas' supposed hate of Mara Jade as a character and less about her not being a Jedi. I know exactly what footage that's from.

OP took some artistic liberties.

[–] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

So this is how liberty dies.

I did misread it, my mistake. Thanks for clarifying!
