Or they could sell the damaged but otherwise luxurious royal yacht and buy a smaller but still-functional ship to get them to Coruscant. Or even just tickets to Coruscant. Even if it's just tickets for "Padme" and her one handmaid who looks like Natalie Portman, plus Qui Gon and Obi-Wan, and everyone else in the royal party has to hole up for a while, it's not like it's going to take very long for them to send someone back to pick them up.

With the added bonus that they wouldn’t be found by the merchant guild assassins if they were in a shit-ship

May also be a state property issue - Queen is only a title, and we learn in the second movie that Amidala has been electorally replaced as Queen.

Sorta like if a president tried to sell Air Force One.

While the President probably couldn't sell Air Force One in a desperate situation, the Secret Service and/or Air Force people on board could. If there were any legal issues with this, the President could pardon them afterwards. While the power of the pardon is often abused, but this would actually be a good case for it to be used.

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.)

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.
