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

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

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:
-
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.

Actually in the ~~first~~ second wave of comics, Luke joins the dark side to locate and raze Palpatine's cloning factory. There's a deeply meaningful scene where Han and Leia retrieve him and have to convince him that he's redeemable after everything he did to fit in.
That was the second wave of comics. The first ones were the ones Marvel put out while the OT was still being made and which continued for a few years after RotJ.
Ooh thank you, I'll fix it
That's a cool idea, but my kneejerk reaction would be to fit in to find something else. Cloning takes away meaningfulness from killing Palpy-B
That's the point. It took their victory away from them, and would keep doing so.
The movies fell flat so hard because they didn't use it as a vehicle to explore anything, characterwise or emotionally. They missed the point and turned it into a plot speed bump.
I just think bringing in cloning is making Vader's sacrifice kinda bland
The prophecy of the Chosen One who would bring balance to the Force for a little while.
