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):

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'm sure there's some extremely long and unnecessarily detailed page on Wookieepedia about this that I'm not going to look for or read, but I bet someone has come up with "official" days of the week in the Star Wars galaxy.

Naturally! For those looking to delve deeper. https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/%27ABY-BBY%27_dating_system

I think I've seen they have some "In this year" pages too.

Some books use New Hope movie, other use the Battle of Yavin (ABY and BBY for after and before) to refer to time. Days, weeks and months kinda don’t exist, but they’ll say x galactic standard days to denote day lengths for some time frames.

Having one of these calendars in every book was amazing! I remember marking up one of these timelines in the later novels (Yuuzhan Vong, maybe?), so I could make sure I'd read (or owned) every EU book available. And then new books came out, so I had to write them in. Great little addition, rather than just a list!

"What are we watching for the experiment tonight, boss?"
"Ooh, me and my apprentice have got a doozy for you... the Star Wars Holiday Christmas Special!"
"NOOOOOO...!"
"Bea Arthur! Harvey Korman! Diahann Carroll! Carrie Fisher sings! Happy Life Day, fellas! (evil Sith laugh)"
"...OOOOOOOOOO...!"

Crow: "Sort of makes you pine for the good ol' days of Manos: The Hands Of Fate, doesn't it?"
