Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):

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:

  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.

I've always thought if they just showed a bit of encouragement to him he would have been fine.

You're not master - yet. But don't worry, you will be, it's a process. Listen Anakin, I know it seems like a long thing, and you are doing a great job, but everyone goes through this. I went through it....

Instead he just got "You are not qualified. Sit down".

I think he didn't get that encouragement because they didn't believe it.

Yeah, from Episode I Windu and Yoda were doubting that Anakin was the Chosen One.

Tbf, that shouldn't be a qualifier for Ani to be on his way to a Jedi master. Yoda should've shadowed him more to balance out all his war experience

they failed him for sure but everyone is responsible for their own actions

Terrible parents are more likely to raise terrible off-spring.

And if you are starved of emotional closeness to a father/mother figure and get manipulated by bad influences like Sidious who is most likely a master in manipulation and gas lighting and have way too much power in the force...Pretty easy to land on the wrong track.

are you implying Shmi was a terrible parent?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

The later part after Shmi.
I'd believe her death really made all things fall together.
If the council rescued her from Tatooine and safeguarded her, this wouldnt have happened as it did.

As I only partially know the lore from the movies, did Anakin really have someone to talk to except for Sidious, Obiwan and Padme?
I'd bet as Sisdious being very good as a politician he'd also be excellent at manipulating the low level psyche of Anakin.

Please correct me if I got some lore part wrong as I do enjoy the discussions about SW lore.

I'm not saying that he should automatically be Jedi Master but he should have been treated better. Windu was especially hostile with him several times in the movies.
