This politician eliminated pollution overnight! Other politicians hate him, see how he did it.
Gives “life hack” a new meaning
It reminds me of the Onion episode about the final solution (cars with killing spikes)
Bloomberg headline
Trains were never late either.
…never said they run on time but I’m not wrong am I
The real version of this would be the Empire erasing that it ever happened.
He eliminated poverty!
I was referencing 1984
I was so happy to see him return in TCW. Yeah he got overconfident in ANH, but he was such a great character and I always wanted to know more about him. You don’t get to be the only non-Sith in the top 3 of the Empire as an idiot.
I read his novel but found it just okay.
I found his characterization much better in the Thrawn series of books (the new ones, which are Canon, by Timothy Zahn). Well worth the read. Though the second book isn't as strong as the first and third. It's just too hard to write Vader from a first person perspective, he's always best when viewed through the eyes of other characters.
I’m actually trying to slog through the 2nd one right now and yeah, the story isn’t bad but all the internal monologue is slow going for sure.
It's excellent for making Thrawn come to life, it just conveys so much more than you could ever hope to achieve from dialogue or exposition. But I really do feel it's pointless and slightly annoying when he does the monologue thing for the other characters. Thrawn is alien in so many ways, but everyone else is just... Not. They're easy to understand motivational wise, they're not strange or different in how they think and operate and their motivations and drive is fairly plain to see. Thankfully I listened to them and Mark Thompson really makes the characters come to life and that makes it work. Still Thrawn as a character is just so well written. Truly fit to join the likes of Hari Seldon, C. Auguste Dupin, Sherlock Holmes and Ender Wiggin as a masterfully crafted fictional genius.
Ooh, new Zahn books?
New as in not the ones from the 90s but the ones from 17-19 :)
Hexbear be like
Hexbear when China eliminates journalism
Their carbon footprint gone, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in support and were suddenly appeased.
No one complained so that must have been what happened
Sometimes I wonder what the motivations are
He also reduced Alderann to 0 soooo Angry rebel noises
In the distant future, the year 2000:
There is no more unethical treatment of the elephants
Well, there's no more elephants, so
But no one on alderaan is working any more? Thats 100% unenployment? Sad. many such cases
But no one is suffering from poverty!
Ahh finally equality!
Left the labor pool. No unemployment. Kind of like dividing by zero
You got it all wrong. Nobody on Alderaan is unemployed.
Surely the problem of employment is below him as a Grand Moff. Shouldn't the planetary governors deal with it?
A real leader isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty from time to time
The planetary governors are all incompetent. He had to take steps.
enlightened centrism
...or something.
Israeli objective identified.
Really loved Cushing in The Hound of Baskervilles.

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.)

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.
