Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.
==========
Other universes to visit:
Separatist systems:
Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):
!starwarstelevision@lemmy.world

IMPORTANT
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.

The thing about that is that it is never explained how L&L knew they were siblings. When Leia announces to Han that Luke is her brother, it's quite out of the blue. Who told her? When? Is this just another Force hand-wave?
Star Wars was a great cinematic feat for the 70s and 80s, and a testament to the power of practical effects; however, it has always been a masterclass in hack writing, audience condescension, and hamfisted acting
What are you talking about? Obi-Wan shows up as a Force ghost after Yoda dies and helps Luke realize Leia is his sister. Then, before leaving the Ewok story time to surrender to Vader, Luke tells Leia that she's his sister.
Then she tells Han after the battle of Endor is over. It's pretty clear how that info was generated and passed between characters in a non-story busting way.
I dont remember that
That's....an extremely important part of Return of the Jedi. It's like saying you don't remember the part where Darth Vader reveals that he's Luke's father.
Sure, but its been almost 40 years
