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.

Damn, a lot of dark shit must have happened to him to turn him to the dark side. Canonically, Obi-Wan is probably one of the most "jedi" Jedis, even his fighting style Soresu is almost exclusively defensive.
As someone running a soresu based jedi in a ttrpg, there's a lot of times I get real frustrated not having a solid high damage finisher, which does lead to dark thoughts soooo.
Yeah, I mean, maybe in this scenario Qui-Gon didn't die and took Anakin as a second apprentice so that Obi-Wan would be constantly frustrated by being upstaged by that "kid" who is naturally stronger in the force, which will lead to his downfall. His final act of turning would be killing Qui-Gon. Although the Emperor wanted Anakin as his apprentice, he wouldn't be able to turn him and take Obi-Wan as a consolation price, still managing to establish the Empire with Order 66.
It could definitely make sense. He kills Maul leading Palpatine to scout him out for his talent.
And if Maul returns like in TCW, Palpantine would definitely use it as an opportunity to pit his apprentices against each other since they're more closely connected that Anakin and Maul. He'd absolutely leverage Satine's death the same way he leveraged Anakin's fear for Padme.
The next question then, in this universe where Qui-Gon lives, does Dooku remain a jedi? That would lead to very different outcomes.
Obi-Wan is a self-contained dichotomy. He's simultaneously very lax with applying the rules to his apprentice, in a similar way to Qui-Gon Jinn, but also incredibly strict with following the will of the council, even above the Will of the Force.
A lot of dark shit DID happen to Obi Wan.
