Star Wars Memes

Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

==========

Other universes to visit:

!lotrmemes@midwest.social

!tenforward@lemmy.world

Separatist systems:

!prequelmemes@lemmy.world

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

!star_wars@lemmy.world

!starwars@lemmy.ml

!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:

  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've always thought if they just showed a bit of encouragement to him he would have been fine.

You're not master - yet. But don't worry, you will be, it's a process. Listen Anakin, I know it seems like a long thing, and you are doing a great job, but everyone goes through this. I went through it....

Instead he just got "You are not qualified. Sit down".

Equally, I don't think Anakin would have lost his shit on Mustafar if he didn't look up and see Obi-Wan standing at the top of the ramp in the ship like an utter bad bitch.

[–] MisshapenDeviate@lemmy.dbzer0.com 63 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Although at that point he had already murdered children

[–] teft@lemmy.world 54 points 10 months ago (1 children)

“Allegedly”

Those holorecordings could have been deepfaked by the Jedi council to turn everyone against Anakin.

Why...would anyone do that? What base does this idea come from?

Who among us has not had that urge

[–] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Urge?? Well.... I missed the memo

[–] XTornado@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months ago

Let's put that aside now, that is not important.

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Almost the entire point of the prequels is that the Jedi are horrible.

So, yeah. That's how they do it.

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 10 months ago

I feel like Obi Wan wasnt like them but also wasnt in a position to argue with others lile Windu in EP 2 and 3.

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I know, took a couple watchthroughs to get it at first but this was their own arrogance really showing. They couldn't be bothered just to show a bit of encouragement.

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I find it really interesting how bad heroes on movies have to be completely over the top and people still mostly don't get them.

In a book Anakin could be broken by the Jedi radicalism even if everybody acted humane. But I guess a movie couldn't have enough time for this.

[–] Bipta@kbin.social 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I think he didn't get that encouragement because they didn't believe it.

[–] Jinn@sh.itjust.works 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, from Episode I Windu and Yoda were doubting that Anakin was the Chosen One.

[–] Keeponstalin@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Tbf, that shouldn't be a qualifier for Ani to be on his way to a Jedi master. Yoda should've shadowed him more to balance out all his war experience

[–] TseseJuer@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

they failed him for sure but everyone is responsible for their own actions

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Terrible parents are more likely to raise terrible off-spring.

And if you are starved of emotional closeness to a father/mother figure and get manipulated by bad influences like Sidious who is most likely a master in manipulation and gas lighting and have way too much power in the force...Pretty easy to land on the wrong track.

[–] TseseJuer@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

are you implying Shmi was a terrible parent?

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

The later part after Shmi.
I'd believe her death really made all things fall together.
If the council rescued her from Tatooine and safeguarded her, this wouldnt have happened as it did.

As I only partially know the lore from the movies, did Anakin really have someone to talk to except for Sidious, Obiwan and Padme?
I'd bet as Sisdious being very good as a politician he'd also be excellent at manipulating the low level psyche of Anakin.

Please correct me if I got some lore part wrong as I do enjoy the discussions about SW lore.

I'm not saying that he should automatically be Jedi Master but he should have been treated better. Windu was especially hostile with him several times in the movies.
