Star Wars Memes

Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

==========

Other universes to visit:

!lotrmemes@midwest.social

!tenforward@lemmy.world

Separatist systems:

!prequelmemes@lemmy.world

Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):

!star_wars@lemmy.world

!starwars@lemmy.ml

!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:

  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.

Yeah... Except Leia has been working with the resistance since very young age, against the Galactic Empire. Not to say Luke's got it easy but Leia has had some hard and dangerous life while Luke has been chilling farmer life

This was the biggest failing of Obi-wan Kenobi (the series) to me. They tried to make it a Leia story at the same time and neither character got the focus they needed. They should have been two separate series.

[–] Igloojoe@lemm.ee 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The kenobi series broke the lore. So basically, it doesn't exist in Star Wars canon.

Leia gets kidnapped and Kenobi, her father a public figure doesnt make it known, and then Kenobi instantly comes to her rescue. Cool... Leai has ties to Kenobi. Surely Darth Vader wont persue that to kill Kenobi again or explore that further...

The lore's been broken since The Force Awakens. Best to just ignore the Disney continuity entirely.

Uncle Owen won’t let him go down to Tosche Station with Biggs to look at power converters!

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Who is Uncle Owen anyways? Luke's only family members are all royalty.

[–] hobowillie@lemmy.world 12 points 7 months ago (2 children)

After Anakin's mom was freed she married a moisture farmer and had more kids (or the farmer already had them). So Uncle Owen is either Luke's half-uncle or his step-uncle.

[–] misterundercoat@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

Owen is the son of Cliegg Lars and another woman who died before Cliegg married Anakin's mom. So he is Luke's step-uncle.

~~She was a freaking queen. That doesn't sound right.~~

Oh, you said Anakin's mom. Wouldn't that make Owen Luke's step-grandfather?

Edit 2: nvm, I got what you're saying now. Anakin's Mom's kid is raising Luke. Gotcha.

[–] gregorum@lemm.ee 5 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Padme’s Queen title was an elected one. She wasn’t royalty. She was a Senator after her term ended, and there was another Queen.

Leah was adopted by a royal family, which is how she got the title of Princess. She also became a Senator.

[–] aegis_sum@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Are you thinking of Luke's mom?

[–] Mansuke@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

She's definitely got it going on

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Oh, yes. So Luke was raised by Anakin's mom? Wouldn't Anakin think to look there for him, or like, visit his mom sometimes?

Edit: I thought his mom was killed by the Sand People.

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

His mom’s brother? Who was a slave elsewhere and Anakin never knew him maybe? Or thought he was dead? Then the republic found him but Vader did not? I dunno

Yeah Bail also was no slouch either, was interesting reading some of his backstory and war interactions in some of the Legends books.
