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.)

IMPORTANT
Do not post the "good friend" or similar copypasta

Special days!
Friday and weekends: Caption contest. An image will be pinned, and we shall make captions for it and post them in the comments.
Wednesday: Theme day. We have Droids day, EU day, poem day, aliens day... Let the pinned post guide you. Memes with the theme are preferred.

Other universes to visit:
Separatist systems:
Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):
!starwarstelevision@lemmy.world

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.

I mean, that's only four Sith; Sidous, Maul, Tyranus, and Vader. Of those four, two are the most powerful Sith ever. I'd also say that Maul put up a better fight than Dooku.
Dooku purposely went easy because his goal was to get captured and then freed during Order 66. He was quite surprised when the chancellor told Anakin to kill him.
...
Best part is that he's supposed to represent the Jedi as they should have been, in contrast to what the order became before its downfall at the end of the prequels.
The Only Jedi Palpatine Feared!
To be fare it was totally legal
I'm sure we're talking about how they were gambling on which slave to win at the end of the pod race.
I think both parties were cheating. Qui-gon waves his hand at the dice which suggests to me that he was manipulating it with the force.
But Watto proposed the bet with two possible outcomes and chose a six-sided dice to roll. He happened to have it on him, he seems sly when he's proposing the deal, suggests which colour will give his preferred outcome, and seems genuinely surprised and upset when he doesn't get what he wants.
I think Watto was using a loaded chance cube. And to be fair, that might not actually be illegal on Tatooine, but I have a feeling neither is shooting someone who tried to cheat you.

A lot of fans have debated about if Tatooine is fully outside the Republic, or if it is theoretically a Republic planet that is just outside of practical control.
If Tatooine is officially outside of the Republic, then the Hutt control is the only source of anything approaching law, and I don't think the Hutts actually care what random people do to each other. There's likely no codified law against loaded dice and shooting somebody for cheating.
If Tatooine is technically a Republic planet that is outside of practical Republic control, then technically there are probably laws against both that apply, but if there are no cops or courts to enforce laws, do they really exist?
