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.

My children watched the animated versions first, then the live-action. We watch the cartoons together before going to see the live action. They're about 50/50 on which one they like better.
Also worth noting another person watching or liking any movie does not change your experience or affect your preferences in any way. To make this loosely SW-related, I despise the prequel movies generally, but tons of people love them and that's totally valid. I think Rise of Skywalker is either the 2nd or 3rd best Star Wars movie, and tons of people disagree with me - their opinion is just as valid as mine in most cases. People like different things.
As for me, I'm just hoping to see a non-white Snow White just to watch my racist relatives shit a brick lol
Then you are lost! / Friend, you are crazy.
Okay, you have your opinions on the Prequels and Sequels, that's your prerogative. I won't argue with you. We all have our guilty pleasures.
Thats simply not true. When you have one good movie out of one movies, then its objectively great. When you shovel bad movies in whatever way, then you devalue it. As its no longer THE movie but one out of a bunch of shit.
When you tell someone about The little Mermaid, they will have to ask you which one you mean.
Problem is many people disagree on what is good or bad, as our discussion here clearly demonstrates.
Having to ask which little mermaid I like isn't really a big deal, in the grand scheme of things. "Which one? Both, but I prefer X." Takes 2 seconds.
Go back to Reddit, go into PrequelMemes or SaltyAsCrait, and start talking about the Godawful dialogue in the prequels. Let us know how that goes.
