Star Wars Memes

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.

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.

No way! (He'd still be in the T-shirt.:-)

The Empire wouldn't put up with his shenanigans as an enlisted officer. He'd be more of a hired assassin type, making IG-88 looking like fool.

OMG, now I know what to hope for as the next meme shared with this community... :-D

So are you going to make it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Definitely... not. So feel free to steal my idea ~~and do all the work~~, if you wanted:-P.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah but then I'll get all the meaningless internet points and you won't. Ha.

Or, the Rebels hire him and he simply fires a blaster at the exhaust port from a distant planet.

Tarken would have hated that. Remember the fact that the storm troopers missed so much is BECAUSE TARKEN ORDERED THE STORM TROOPERS TO MISS TO LET THE HEROS GET AWAY SO TARKIN COULD FIND THE LOCATION OF THE REBEL BASE! Leia even says so.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

He tried, he just couldn't.

What about the scene where Darth Vader is choking him to death because the plan to track them back to the rebel base horrifically fails?

Who is that gay anyway?

Edit: guy. Idk how I swapped u and a. But I somehow did.

He's the silver medalist in olympic mixed doubles air pistol shooting.

He's a memeable badass because he doesn't wear a faceful of steampunk-looking accessories on his face while shooting like all the other competitors do.

And his white hair looks cool, agreed.

Dude lost all my respect for using his internet fame to ask Musk to come and visit him.

The new prime Minister of the UK I think.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

You laugh but he was the CEO of Kalt back in 2007

Begun... and quickly ended... these Clone Wars have.
