Star Wars Memes

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.

==========

Other universes to visit:

!lotrmemes@midwest.social

!risa@startrek.website

Separatist systems:

!didyoueverhear@lemmy.world

!prequelmemes@lemmy.ml

!prequelmemes@lemmy.world

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

!star_wars@lemmy.world

!starwars@lemmy.ml

!starwars@lemmy.world

!starwarstelevision@lemmy.world

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.

Are we ever giving any indication that being a moisture Farmers all that hard? Other than the fact that they have slaves, I'm sorry droids, to do most of the hard work for them what do they actually do? I mean harvesting moisture is about setting up an apparatus and just letting it pull moisture from the air right? He maintain the machines is that right?

Man, just existing on Tatooine is hard work.

-It's a desert planet run by crime lords.

-The natives carry rifles and kidnap people just to torture them to death.

-There are little goblins driving tanks around the countryside stealing anything that isn't sand.

-The sand is rough and coarse and irritating and it gets everywhere.

-Krayt Dragons

What 20 years of moisture farming does to a MF:

To be fair, I think just living on Tatooine does that to you:

Double suns take their toll on the skin

It's all that sun. Turns youthful skin into aged leather.

Well, it's always easy to do a little of something. When you are producing as an actual job, then that's entirely different. Scale is a problem in it of itself. "Just maintaining" machines is actually a lot of work.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I'm sure it is for the droids

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

Especially since we see them buy second-hand droids that are decades old. Or assembling their own from scrap.

[–] Digestive_Biscuit@feddit.uk 10 points 5 months ago

He maintained the droids which maintained the machines. Working from home job.

Uncle Owen definitely pretended he really needed Luke's labor

Honestly Star Wars is a made up story played by actors. Change my mind

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It wasn't just droids either, Owen's dad had human slaves as well.
