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.

There's a genocide themed Maybeline ad parody about your username but I'm not quite finding it.. Something something possibly it's Linux

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

And also called certain troops during WW1 (that's where the name comes from afaik)

[–] olosta@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I like star wars, but people choosing to dress up as the Nazis always confuses me.

  1. They're fictional
  2. They look really cool

There's a subset that are a little too fascinated with the image of the Empire. Same with the Zeon fans.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Well, in the original trilogy they really didn't outright do anything we can clearly point to as wrong (except for blowing up a planet). We get very little information on either the rebellion or the empire except they're the good guys or bad guys.

Star Wars in general has this problem where the good guys are squeaky clean and the bad guys are comic book villains without any background. That's why Andor is the best thing to happen to Star Wars at least since Disney purchased them, if not ever. It actually fills out why the rebellion exists and what they have to do to survive. They aren't these perfect good guys anymore and we get to see how boring the evil of the empire actually is, and how willing so many people are to follow along as long as it benefits them.

To be fair zeon is arguably just as evil as the earth federation so it's either be a fan of the boys in derpy guntanks or of the men in zakus

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I once walked into a full gundam panel and the panelists had gotten everyone to do the Zeon salute. You can be a fan of gundam, the characters and the robots without picking a side.

That hair cut looks familiar...

Who the fuck capitalizes “BIO”?? It stand for one word not three, the fuck?

[–] Moc@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Obviously BIO stands for Biography Iography Ography

[–] I_Am_Jacks_____@lemmings.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

P as in Phoebe, H as in hoebe, O as in Oebe, E as in Ebe, B as in Bebe, E as in 'ello there, mate

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

It's so short that they probably think it's an acronym lol (lol)

Time to bust out the Youngling Slayer 9000 and send this kid to The Void

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The Void is actually the name of the landfill where I bury the bodies I mean what?

[–] Hupf@feddit.de 28 points 1 year ago (2 children)
[–] PsychedSy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

I have incorporated this as a fable in my personal philosophy, but I also really like youngling jokes.

[–] Johnhones@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This reminds me of that time Kanye West gave that young upcommer Paul McCartney a boost by having him guest on a song.

[–] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 9 points 1 year ago

I don't think they called him young, but yeah. That shit was hilarious 😂

[–] Phoenix3875@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Why are you calling another skin in Fortnite?

[–] tias@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 1 year ago

I don't have a Fortnite skin, it was removed when I was little

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago

Why don't we just shorten that to Forskin. It's so much easier to type and not confusing.

[–] Pregnenolone@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

A good opportunity to teach a youngling about the force

[–] JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 1 year ago

He doesn't play Fortnite you idiot, he's a former Nazi.

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] x4740N@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Person in the image is contacting anakin skywalker to kill the youngling that messaged them
