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.

I hate fascism. It's rough and irritating. And it gets everywhere!

[–] Mr_Fish@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

As someone living outside America, it really does get everywhere

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Fascism famously doesn't exist in Europe.

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago

Americans (Stanford) legitimised it, and Europe elites thought it was cool

At least we'll have some time before the whole liberty dying with applause...oh shit, we're doing a speed run!

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 28 points 2 weeks ago

Constitution abolishment, any %

My bingo card did not have /r/prequelmemes becoming relevant

And my expectations were so low

Ben Stein is a piece of shit Nixon aide/apologist. Fuck that guy.

[–] Objection@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I meant the character, not the actor.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I know... I just find it hard to separate sometimes (particularly when they're psychopaths like this dude)

There was a time when Republicans were evil, but evil working for America. Now Republicans are evil and working for foreign powers and personal profit.

Nixon, for all his evil, wasn't personally profiting. He had dignity.

*Duel of the fats starts playing*

Edit: anyone know how to make a music AI recreate duel of the fates with just tuba?

[–] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 18 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Who's dueling Fats Domino?

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 weeks ago

Fats Waller traditionally

Recently saw an episode of The Simpsons where they made fun of the procedural parts of Phantom Menace: https://youtu.be/3lPG1u6EbiY

It felt very different in the current context. They were mocking it as a gag, but it felt kinda earnest for a second. Like, when fascism occupies the bureaucratic processes, it’s farcical and also boring.

When will get to the point where Trump gets thrown into certain death? Preferably while cutting out all the genocide by planet destroying laser part.

[–] SomethingBurger@jlai.lu 24 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

That was 2020.

However, somehow, ~~Palpatine~~ Trump returned.

[–] DrPop@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

So the empire struck back?

Star Wars Episode VIII: The End of Hope

[–] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

This new quadrilogy is so predictable. The writers are relying on nostalgia instead of creating a decent plot.

[–] Branch_Ranch@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

My man doesnt have a chin.

[–] syklemil@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] Branch_Ranch@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Below his mouth area could be called a check (chin+neck) 🤣

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Everybody struggling to remember the part where a movie about space wizards, robots and explosions said anything about trade route taxes.

Gotta pitch this concept to Disney - Episode 10: The Opening Crawl - just two hours of majestically scrolling text in space, read by Mark Hamill.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

Darth Crawl

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 weeks ago

That was the better part of the prequels

That and Dooku but they wasted him in 3 and ruined his character in the cartoon

If trump dies, is it a 👻 Menace?

[–] jorymo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I wonder if he'd be proud of Andor making Trump jokes

Huh? Season 3 of what? I'm lost.

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

Andor. I was joking. I've no clue what the other commenter was on about, with Trump jokes in Andor. They can't make a season 3 of Andor.

[–] Objection@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

Oh I didn't notice you were a different person lol 😆
