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.)

IMPORTANT

Do not post the "good friend" or similar copypasta

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.

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

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.

I guess they don't have moisturizers on a moisture farm. (lemmy.world)

None of those technologies have anything to do with skin. Well, ok, the replacement limbs do, and showed that they can produce artificial skin that even includes the sensation of touch. But what moisture farmers have time to book an appointment on a medical ship when it happens to be in the area (or a quick light jump away)? Oh right, abundance of droids that could be doing whatever labour is involved on a moisture farm (carry the daily bottle of water to the fridge? What is their output even like?).

The next star wars should be about a trade deal between Tatooine and some ocean planet to exchange some water for some sand and moisture farmers hiring some force using mercenaries (let's explore one of the other cults of the force instead of just the Sith and Jedi again). It would be interesting if the whole thing was written to make everyone morally ambiguous, like a lot of chaotic goods, true neutrals, and lawful bads so that at the end of it, there's a debate about whether the outcome was a good one. That's a lot better than debate about what the dumbest parts were.

I want Nip/Tuck Tatooine.

Maybe moisture farming is really easy. Maybe Luke spent like three hours a day moisture farming and the rest of the time bullseyeing womp rats in his T16. That's probably why he's such a good pilot.

There's a strong argument that the entire Galactic Empire is Lawful Evil as an entity.

Sure, the individuals within it may vary widely, but overall it's LE.
