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.

So, little sidenote, but this is my 400th post since joining on August 16th.

I may have a problem.

Why not Bi-Fi? There is even merch for that already

And a meatstick to boot? Perfect

[–] Jentu@lemmy.film 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I’m not a fan of either

You could say I’m sp-ace

(let’s ignore the existence of lower deck and strange new world for this joke)

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 4 points 11 months ago

Feels like sacrilege but i'll let it slide this once <3

[–] freamon@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I haven't watched much Trek but I thought I'd check out Strange New Worlds (I was Sci-Bi-Curious).

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 6 points 11 months ago

Welcome to the club my friend,

Live long and watch Trek 🖖

[–] MissJinx@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I was never a fan of the original but after watching the movies and Star trek: discovery I'm into rewatching the original

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 4 points 11 months ago

It definitely adds a new level of appreciation to TOS when you have Enterprise, Strange New Worlds, and some great TOS movies that help flesh it out.

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You'll only have a problem, if you're running out of memes!

Godspeed my friend

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 7 points 11 months ago

Well so far so good! Got another 1k or so in the bank and I mean that for every community. I... I have a lot of shit saved.

[–] Jesus_666@feddit.de 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Sci-Bi

The proper technical term is "bitrektual", as established by renowned scholar Aurelio Voltaire.

[–] Aganim@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Avid tritrektual here in that case, I also enjoy Stargate. 😁

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I'm panscitual. Barely a sci-fi show I haven't liked. I even found some jank ass fan made continuations of Babylon 5 once. They were amazing.

Bro my bones feel it already.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Gate fans: Am I a joke to you?

[–] SkybreakerEngineer@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Be careful, there's both a Gate and a Stargate. One involves a modern military going through a portal and using weapons to flex on idiots, the other has Teal'c.

[–] NickKnight@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

The anime out of context podcast on the former fits your description perfectly. The latter is too awesome for words.

[–] kogs@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

It hurts, but you've got my upvote.

[–] creditCrazy@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

I've always been into starwars and Gundam

[–] wahming@monyet.cc 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The first step in solving a problem, is admitting you have a problem

The second step is making a meme about it

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 2 points 11 months ago

No problems here, my friend. Enjoying both and happily so.

[–] topinambour_rex@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

You mean sci-bi like those truckers speaking to each others through radio ?

[–] CheeryLBottom@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Go Stametz!

[–] stoicmaverick@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

You wipe that face off of Counselor Troy this instant young man!

[–] creditCrazy@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

A part of me wants to see star Trek but with the star wars cast
