Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.
Technical note: if you're coming from another star system and are getting a "Subscription pending" message when trying to dock, that's just the console being slow to display the right message. The connection is already established. (Probably.)

IMPORTANT
Do not post the "good friend" or similar copypasta

Special days!
Friday and weekends: Caption contest. An image will be pinned, and we shall make captions for it and post them in the comments.
Wednesday: Theme day. We have Droids day, EU day, poem day, aliens day... Let the pinned post guide you. Memes with the theme are preferred.

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

Kung-fu Jesus
Obi-Wan: I am not the messiah you are looking for.
Stilgar: LISAN AL-GHAIB!!!
Anakin is not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy!
Space Jesus to Spice Jesus: "You want to go home and rethink your life."
Does that mean Obi-Wan knows the ways of the Bene Gesserit witches? They're the only power in the known universe who can use the Voice.
Is he the Kwisatz Haderach?
The Spice Girls in the Dune universe must be wild.
At least you know what they really really want
If you don't, they'll tell you
Will they though?
That song is full of mixed messages. I still have no clue what a Zig-a-zig-ahh is, and I'm pretty certain that if I took them at their word, they'd get mad when I "got with their friends."
It's basically space magic jesus, and space cocaine jesus
Star Wars is a knockoff of Dune even Frank Herbert thought it was ripping off many things. He said that if George Lucas didn't rip him off then he at least owed him dinner for all the coincidences
Oh boy, just wait until he sees what Games Workshop did.
He is dead, but his son and another "author" wrote a large amount of sequels, prequels, and spinoffs with the "of Dune" added on to sell hot trash.
That is directly ripping off his ideas unlike anything Games Workshop could ever do.
They shat on his ideas lol
But you can’t say they ripped off his ideas, as the books are technically cannon and direct sequels. Sadly…
Apparently based on notes Frank left, for all we know his "notes" could have been:
1.) Write more Dune books. 2.) profit.
If anything, Star Wars is a rip off of "The Hidden Fortress". I'm not super knowledgeable about Dune, what parts did George take?
I don't have a full list but Frank Herbert had once said there was 16 coincidences between the two stories. One or two is a random chance, 16 is plagiaristic.
Why of course - I love when the space wizards of Dune start doing a bunch of flips while waving around their glowing blades made of pure light.
Well when you read the last book and learn about Miles Teg you will see the spice wizard. The laser swords though wouldn't happen. When a laser intersects with a shield then a giant atomic explosion happens.
Star Wars is a knockoff of Dune
Nah, of Valerian & Laureline. Or both.
Left: you without death sticks Right: you with death sticks. Don't do drugs younglings
What is a lightsaber if not a very large, very hot Gom Jabbar?
Both also suffer from a lack of pigmentation even though they are constantly showered in ultraviolet radiation.
Spice Jesus is just Australian Space Jesus
Okay but hear me out, he could also bs Redneck Space Jesus. Mind you Australians are effectively Anglo-sphere Rednecks.
Ok but... Anakin is the space jesus. Well, minus the "not doing a deal with the devil" bit.
There were memes a few years ago using that pic of Master Kenobi, that claimed that people gave the picture to elderly relatives that thought it was a picture of Jesus.
Yeah narratively Anakin, Luke, and Rey would be Space Jesus, but Kenobi looks like the classic pictures of "white Jesus."
For reference this is the Mormon Jesus. I see the resemblance
But Spice Jesus is in Space
Technically everything is, including us.
We're Jesus?
You might be, I consider myself Negan.
Is that where you eat nothing but negatives?
Walking dead reference, everyone in the villain's gang called themselves Negan it was a pop culture thing.
TWD got boring before that season, and I guess I didn't get that far in the comix either.
I stopped exactly at the episode where the real Negan showed up (at least I think it was him). It got kinda boring and repetitive.
Where is spicy Jesús?
He also doesn’t have worms.
Spice Jesus also refused to become a worm
Where's Erotic Jesus?
Jesus Spice is the ugly one.
May the Spice be with you
But what about jesus spice ala the spice girls
