/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ **8. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Sokath, his eyes uncovered.
Can you explain how this relates to star wars?
The top qoute is a reference to the Jedi "master/student" relationship of obi wan and luke. It reads to me like she is asking to be trained by Luke, offering to be his student.
The bottom qoute may be a reference to a attack on the empire by the rebellion in which the death 2nd deathstar's shield was secretly up, which resulted in admiral akbars famous "its a trap!" qoute. This implies that Luke is saying she has caught him by suprise in an unwanted situation. Although this might be read in a different way, as it's "after the sheilds fell," which is when they destroyed the death star? Maybe it's acceptance or jubilee? The "Chewbacca, arms wide" implies a positive outcome as well. So
Maybe this is after Luke accepted Rey, instead of one they first met like the images in the meme are showing.
Chewbacca died in the Yuuzhan Vong invasion in the EU novels after saving Anakin Skywalker but not being able to make it on the ship off planet to escape a falling moon.
The last image of him was stylized as arms open towards the moon, accepting his death and the end of his life debt to Han by giving his life for his son.
Anyways, that was way better than his role in the sequels even if I didn't quite like the story arc as a whole.
So I read it more like:
"Teach me!"
"This is a trap." (Personal interpretation of what the trap is probably varies)
"Death and release from obligation."
Thank for translating the Tamarian!
The... pictures... in the meme... and the use of star wars events... in the style of the Tamaranian language...
