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

Separatist systems:

!didyoueverhear@lemmy.world

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.

MODERATORS
 

In our last galactic survey and census, a whooping 29 citizens participated out of ~4200 populace at the time.

What the heck, don't you love democracy?

For what it's worth, Droids were clear #1 in the poll on special day theme, and Wednesday was second in the day preference, and so henceforth, in addition to weekend caption contests, we shall have Droids Wednesdays.

On Droids Wednesdays, memes about our little metal ~~slaves~~ buddies are preferred. If you need to make a meme about something else, well okaaaay, but try to at least stick R2 somewhere in the picture.

May the Force memes be with you.

Edit: Mark your memes as "Droids Wednesday" or something similar so that simpler beings who don't read the sidebar or stickies will see that something is up.

Third party apps on 1 July afterwards: "My API calls aren't working, I must need maintenance."

It was pinned last week like this one, I dunno why you wouldn't see it. The people I asked did see it.
