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.

Batman in galaxy far far away?

And he's racist against clones.

[–] Whopraysforthedevil@midwest.social 14 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Excuse you. Storm troopers are not clones.

[–] RedditRefugee69@lemmynsfw.com 9 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Percentage depends on the exact year.

Or did Disney retcon that?

[–] Whopraysforthedevil@midwest.social 6 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

They retconned that, too. But even in the EU the clones were relegated to training roles and quickly died off

[–] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 1 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

I am pretty sure the European Union has no Clones in the Militaries. But well, that all depends on percentage ;)

Expanded universe silly

[–] Forester@yiffit.net 5 points 4 weeks ago

They age really quickly. The whole accelerated growth thing from childhood to adult in 2 years can't exactly be stopped.

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

True, If it was Clone Troopers you could maybe make the argument that he has some possibility misguided beliefs that clones don’t have a soul or they had empathy and emotions removed in the cloning process.

But Storm Troopers are essentially the 9-5 every man of the empire who either was compelled or joined just for the scholarship. It’s Kinda Fucked up.

An ‘absolute’ galaxy far far away.

The panels are from the recently released Absolute Batman #1 from DC Comics. The word bubbles in a couple panels were edited to tie it to Star Wars.

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago

Oh, that explains it. Thanks.

[–] kellyaster@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm guessing the Absolute line is supposed to be like Marvel's Ultimate line or something? I saw some pics of the Absolute Wonder Woman yesterday... it's wild, she has a tattoo covering her arm and a massive Cloud Strife sword that is bigger than her. The art is frickin beautiful

[–] CobblerScholar@lemmy.world 33 points 4 weeks ago

Not from a star wars crossover unfortunately. This is absolute Batman, a Bruce Wayne who is just a city engineer not a billionaire so he makes all his gear from what he can find

What is this, a crossover episode?

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 11 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (1 children)

I know he doesn't care about chopping limbs off in Absolute. But is he killing people too?

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 17 points 4 weeks ago

Of course not!

Stormtroopers aren't people.

(I know nothing about the actual comic)

Alternatively: "Blasters aren't guns."

[–] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

It's notable how identifiably the gun on the page is drawn as a KSG. Outside of "gun focused" comics like The Punisher, comicbook guns have a habit of being wonky unidentifiable models.
