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.
Except for the part in prophecy where Jesus is specifically described as being unattractive lol
"He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him." https://web.mit.edu/jywang/www/cef/Bible/NIV/NIV_Bible/ISA+53.html#:~:text=He%20had%20no%20beauty%20or,that%20we%20should%20desire%20him.&text=He%20was%20despised%20and%20rejected,and%20we%20esteemed%20him%20not.
Hair was also curlier, like lamb's wool.
He could probably have had some decent dreads.
Given his association with the wild preacher, John the Baptist, he very well might have
I thought those passages meant he had back hair you could get lost in for days but I'm no religious scholar
Now that ties on with the absence of bueaty!
Maybe that's why Jews don't believe him to be the messiah — he was too damn hot.
I don't see any reason to take the term "beauty" here in a modern sense. If that is the game we are playing here.
Flashback to that mustachioed Persian princess "beauty".
I dunno man, that complexion still seems a little too light.
Adjust your screen contrast until Jesus appears properly.
I hope I'm not the only one old enough to be thinking of a Smurf yelling at me to adjust my TV
Honestly before my time, but that was an epic episode. And I remember adjusting color sets…
Nah dude I'm not fucking with my screen settings just cause y'all keep picking weird Jesuses
Is it "Jesuses"? "Jesi"? "Jeese"? Or maybe it's "Christs Jesus" like attorneys general?
I'm not gonna speak to the divinity of y'all's Jesuses but mine makes a pretty mean crab enchilada. I think you might be going to the wrong church.
The dog tags of his fallen enemies as armor is how what Jesus did as well
Metal as fuck, making his papa proud with that old testament vibe.
Still too woke. He was a Jedi and they were all about the … ah who am i kiding…
What jesus actually looks like:
🪦
More like: 💀
But honestly is more like: 🧚♂️
Are you all discussing how a person from a fairytale looked like?
The joke is more about Americans thinking a bronze age man in the middle east looking like a white American or European.
The Iron Age(s) started several hundred years before the Roman conquest of Judaea.
The Hittites in Anatolia, basically next door to the area, were among the first to discover iron working.
Noted
Chalk it up to great marketing.
Allegedly based on a portrait of a Borgia for their imaginary savior, white-washing him. Much more palatable for the xenophobic religious zealots.
In all fairness, Jesus was probably an historical figure. Everything built around his life though...
Star Wars is no fairytale! (well, actually it is)
Nuh uh
It's a historical documentary
Authentically stepping out of a space vehicle as wel 😹
All I’m saying is that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. There is someone for everyone. Somebody thought that Jesus was one super hot hunk of man meatus.
Beauty is the eye of the beer holder
Those are the same person.
You made Jesus.....not white? BURN THE HERETIC!!!
Wait, why do people think Jesus look like Black Mask again?
What show is bottom image from?
