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.

How's Ahsoka so far?
Only watched the first episode, enjoyed it, excellent acting from an excellent cast, decent ground work for the series. Alright action, lightsabre fights left me a little disappointed.
reminds me of the original trilogy's fight choreography.
how? Did you mean prequels? Even the prequel choreography wasnt this bad
the dart maul fight had an actual martial artist doing fancy moves even though quai gon jinn stood there like in the originals with obi
Seriously, watch the fight at the end of the Phantom Menace. It's fun but it's not good.
There's a lot of times where Obi Wan and Qui Gon take turns attacking, and visibly waste time to avoid attacking simultaneously. There's a bunch of times where they're really obviously attacking Maul's saber, not Maul. Attacks that are obviously out of distance. That sort of thing. Ray Park is a great, award winning martial artist, but Liam Neeson and MacGregor aren't, and it really shows.
Compare it to the Maul vs Ahsoka fight at the end of Clone Wars. Being able to motion capture two great martial artists makes a big difference vs having to teach an actor fight choreography. It's still flashy and has some silliness in it, but it looks much better.
