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.

First one is the ship, third one is the childeren.
What did he do in the second one? Clone wars is a huge blank in my memory haha
The Tusken villagers.
Tusken Raiders
Sand people (I don't recall their actual name)
Holy shit dude, it's 2024
Anakin: I'm tired of you people
Tusken Raiders: What do you mean "you people"?
I'm sorry! Anakin killed them all, so I couldn't ask what their preferred name is! 😢
Yeah the most polite thing to do is ask what specific tribe they are.
Of course, they're going to stab you with a gaffi stick, but you should ask
I just laughed way, way too hard at this.
Dude, "sand people" is not the preferred nomenclature. Tatooine-American, please.
Inb4 "the whole Outer Rim is AmErIcA" group.
We’re all living in Amerika. Coca-Cola. Always war.
Isn't the original line "sometimes war"? Or am I misremembering the lyrics.
You’re correct, it is. But when has Amerika ever not been at war with someone?
pushes glasses well akshually....The US was not involved in an armed conflict from 1795 to 1798, 1805-1810, 1815-1816, 1828-1832, 1924-1939, 1961-1964 and finally 1975 to 1982. Out of the US' 248 years of existance, it has enjoyed 38 years of official peace.
Dude that’s awesome if those are real stats. Bravo. Can you further refine to include proxy wars?
That's really hard to source honestly due to the nature of proxy wars. The list I provided does include large conflicts in which the US was a beligerent in some way, shape, or form, so not just wars. For example, it includes domestic conflicts the US never flagged as wars such as the various campaigns against the American natives, the invasion of Mexico and a whole bunch of others lesser known ones.
Fair enough. So pretty much ‘always war’ fits, no? We’ve been ‘at peace’ as a nation for less time than I’ve been alive and I’m not that old.
Yeah, I suppose Rammstein were actually a bit optimistic with that line.
Knowing how songs work, it was probably what was best for the melody.
Was the ship a mass-murder? It was droid federation. How many Nemodians were actually abord?
Droids are people too
Apparently memory-wiping people is okay
