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.

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

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.

I thought not. It's not a community the Fediverse would show you. It's a Lemmy legend.


I created this community as a new home to the now dead and defunct /r/didyoueverhear. I hope to be able to keep the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis alive. If you have any tragedies to share, feel free to peruse the community:

/c/didyoueverhear@lemmy.world

p.s. @WhoRoger@lemmy.world a link to it in the sidebar would be highly appreciated.

There were some really good tragedies back at spezland, but combing through it made me realize they're all very old memes i.e. pre-covid. Is there even good memes/stuffs going on in 2023 that we can write new tragedies about?

Have you ever heard the tragedy of the submersible Titan? I thought not. It's not a story The commoners would tell you. It is a billionaire legend. The Titan was a submersible so uniquely engineered that it used a Logitech controller to maneuver itself. Its owner had such a way of advertising that he even managed to convince people to join without testing. He became so greedy that that the only thing he was afraid of was losing his business, which he did. Unfortunately he was crushed when personally riding his submersible along with other billionaires. Ironic, he could take billionaires to see the Titanic but not himself.

Yea I'll add you later (and some other comms that have popped up these days). Right now editing the sidebar is a pita due to errors. Remind me if I forget.
