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

Separatist systems:
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:
-
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.

Yaddle musta made him look like a horny little creep at the life day party one year after turning down a move
More seriously, Dark Side Yoda from the Netflix finale of the clone wars constantly talked about not being allowed to come out and play,
This makes me think that Yoda had a Ghandi complex, complete with the very weird notions of needing to resist the thiccness to achieve maximum powaz.
That’s definitely part of it, any tiny slip and the sith can abuse it, so the only protection is perfection?
Kinda but also kinda not.
Lucas always said the Jedi were basically meant to just knight coded Buddhists, but actual Buddhism rejects both hedonism, and asceticism.
Chasing perfection out of fear is also giving in to the dark side, because in doing so you deprive yourself and others of the simple joys of the world, when those things are what keeps us human.
The path to enlightenment isn't to surpass humanity, it's to fully recognize and embrace the cosmic essence of what humanity, and all other things are.
