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.

Force ghost =/= force heaven. The kids are somewhere better, while Anakin is stuck as a ghost.
Well.
Canonical heaven is the merger of soul with the origin, the universe, and everything, aka Gawwwwwwwddddd, becoming one with eternity, past, future, and present.
That is, apparently, what happens to everyone with midichlorians until Qui-Gon figured out how to maintain and project a personality from it. They are, effectively, the "angels" of Star Wars. Not necessarily separate from The Force but a personality in their own right within it, for a time. Apparently it's harder after time passes and the personality loses direct connections with the current state of the galaxy.
The neat thing about that, beyond the typical Westernization of Eastern belief systems that is the Star Wars Force philosophy, is that that interpretation is actually pretty interesting with the revisioning of the Sith as some kind of dark and twisted pursuit of eternal life instead of an acceptance of your place in the cosmos/ as part of of Gawwwwwwddd's/TheForces plan/self/servant/whatever. Kind of a reimagining of the Evil Necromancer.
Well then those kids are one with Anakin so they wouldn't care about his past or something... Force angel forgiveness maybe? Idk how it works tbh
