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.

He's so strong he can break the fourth wall.
He did too many midichlorians
And then he still cheats by force manipulating the dice.
Could have just traded in the non-working Nubian ship and bought a junker. It'll get you to Coruscant just fine.
'What's a Nubian?'
'Shut the fuck up!'
Mr Gin just didn't want to criminally implicate himself. Cheating in a casino creates a lot more opportunities to be noticed and caught. Pod racing has better plausible deniability.
He could’ve just put Renton on the game.
We have half a movie to fill with padding, Padawan
Qui-Gon: Credits will do fine. [while attempting a mind trick]
Watto: No, they won’t.
Qui-Gon: Credits WILL do fine.
Watto: No, they won’t.
Qui-Gon: [Walks down street to money exchanger] Trade me these credits for Hutt bucks [Does mind trick]
Money Exchanger: Okay!
[Qui-Gon returns to Watto]
Qui-Gon: Here's a pile of Hutt bucks. Sell me a functional hyperdrive.
Watto: Okay!
[Roll credits]
The thing with the Jedi mind trick is that only Jedi's think it works.
Everyone else just see a scary lightsaber guy asking them to repeat a sentence and are more than happy to comply if it means they get left alone.
There's a limit to how much you can pretend though.
-
Letting an old man and a kid drive through a checkpoint? Fine, someone else's problem.
-
Selling an obvious narc deathsticks? Yeah, maybe going home and rethinking your life is the right call here.
-
Handing over all your life savings for a bad deal? Uh, no actually.
I could see your perception of it changing based on how you watched the movies. If your first time watching the movies was in numerical order, you might come away thinking the Jedi mind trick doesn't work very well. It's not really explained until episode 4. IIRC, it's shown two times in the prequels, once against Watto (which fails) and once against a rando drug dealer in a bar (which works). It later works against Bib Fortuna but not Jabba.
The explanation of "works against the weak minded" doesn't come until you're several hours in. If the movies were produced in that order, it would almost come off like a cop out explanation.
"These aren't the droids you're looking for."
"Yeah, sure, whatever you say, man. I just work here."
Look, they pay them to man the checkpoint. They don't pay them enough to deeply care about every benign person passing through...
"I'm not even supposed to be here today!"

Still gets to be a force ghost for some reason
so did Anakin the Orphan Crushing Machine, the bar for entry seems to be somewhere between normies and force-choking your babymom
He's not in trouble at all. Now... We should be able to take a little child blood without consent on sand world.

Child endangerment is the Jedi way.
That’s why they are given laser swords that can cut through anything at age six!
they are given laser swords
You mean those kids didn't go through the Jedi ritual of constructing their own lightsabers? What has happened to our cherished traditions?!
Palps strip mined Ilum so it's probably better that we don't send younglings there any more.
Ah yes because Dantooine and it's fucked up dark side giant cave spiders is so much better.

You want those younglings to be defenseless against the Jedi that kill them with their laser sword?

On a scale of 1 to 10, how much space-weed do you reckon Qui-Gon Jinn smokes in a given day?
Yes.

It translates to a more profitable video game
Do you remember the arcade version? That was awesome!!
I had the Win98 version growing up, but i think the Dreamcast one may be better.
I do. Do you remember how the N64 version emulated the arcade version by being played with two controllers? You held one controller in each hand and used the joysticks as the left and right engine throttles.
I do! Too bad the N64 version looks like old ass.
I've never played any Star Wars game, I just knew this bit of trivia

Nono you see... after my plan, we get to keep the boy.
(also he did try to free his mom but then like... gave up after receiving one no, but at least the attempt was made or something?)
"No? Oh well, I didn't want her anyway, she'll just cause trouble along the way. But that way I can trick the boy into thinking I did everything I could."
Yes, because the Hutts would be totally cool with a couple of Jedi rolling up to their gambling dens and blatantly cheating for several hours. Screwing over one random used car salesman on a single bet is much easier to get away with.
Not to mention the whole "he could be the chosen one" angle, at which point freeing Anakin was just as important to Qui-Gon as getting off-planet.
...Me? Overthinking a silly meme? Noooo...
