dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Saw Gerrera

I don't even know what part of the franchise this screenshot is from but holy shit, could that name be any more on the nose?

Like who was Saw Gerrera fighting against as the primary antagonist?
Randolph Hissler or something?

I can just imagine the writers spitballing a name:

"What if we had a character whose name was like the guerrilla fighter Che Guevara?"

"Excellent idea!! Gueva—Guerri—Gerrera! We'll call him Gerrera. And we can't use the name Che so it'll have to be something different."

"...how about Saw?"

"Perfect! No notes. Saw Gerrera it is!"

It's a screenshot from Andor, which is one of the few genuinely good, and radical pieces of Star Wars media to come out in a very long time. Please go watch it, it has a heist plot that was inspired by a passage in a biography of young Stalin, where he robbed banks to fund the Bolsheviks.

Goddamn, that's pretty neat.

I'll see if I can muster enough focus to watch some episodes of it.

It has a really good buildup/payoff ratio, with satisfying 3-episode arcs
