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.

Letβs try a novel approach and be positive. Whatβs something you liked about the sequels?
One from each:
Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley, and Mark Hamill did an amazing job with their roles, in spite of the script they were given.
I thought the acting from most of the cast was pretty solid. The visual effects were nice while still harkening back to the Original Trilogy and looking "outdated" in certain respects. I loved Poe and I thought that Phasma was pretty badass if underutilized, then again that's kind of consistent with Star Wars at this point. I loved the new scores. Crait was visually gorgeous with the salt and red earth combination. Lightsaber battles in new locations was also really awesome, especially the snow sequence in The Force Awakens. The blue and red shining off of the snow looked so cool. I thought Takodana was a really neat location and the shots of the X-Wings flying in were stunning. Han using the Bowcaster was kind of hilarious. As someone who was raised in a really abusive household, I also really appreciated and loved the theme of not being who your family is. Ben/Kylo obviously went to the darker extreme but Rey also rebelled pretty hard against her lineage and I related to that.
To start with.
What else?
Admiral Holdo earning her place in Asgard for an eternity of mead and roast pig lol
X-wings flying in atmosphere at speed.
At the end of the second movie where the main force user wasnβt special and there was going to be an evil duo trying to take over the galaxy.
Are you more of a fan of the original or sequel era star fighter designs?
My personal tastes prefer the original series fighter designs but I see the need to visually differentiate the two eras.
The visual effects were quite good.
The acting was generally good from pretty much every one
Rey and Finn burgeoning romance hinted at in FA. I really wish they had built on that. Successful or not I can live with but at least try.
