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.

Separatist systems:
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.

Why is that planet in a city
They would have explained that in the movie if this jerk didn't blow it up.
re: the title
Pics that go hard.
I say we're in range... now.
I mean, it's not just going to blow up itself...
You missed: Dantooine is too small
Too small, or too remote?
Seems reasonable
Apt timing I just watched A New Hope on Saturday. 👌
Awesome! Which version?
The one on Disney Plus. My fiance never told me, she has a bluray set with the original cuts so if we go back for empire and return we'll watch those versions. I forgot how jarring and stupid all the CGI is.

Ah, pity, I believe those are the special editions, with the "jarring and stupid" CGI.

To my knowledge, the original cuts have never been released on bluray, so unless she burned them herself I find this somewhat unlikely. The highest quality unaltered Original Trilogy official release is DVD or LaserDisc.
For higher quality versions, you want to search for "Harmy despecialized" or "4k77". Good luck, let me know if you have any questions! :)
Hah for sure, I was under the same assumption and I was doubtful but she insists. I'll take a peak when I get home.
I followed some of the fan cuts when they were first released and looked for them in the usual places but forgot the names until you mentioned it here.
I'm also looking for a fan cut of episodes 1-3 where someone cut all 3 films into a ~3 hour supercut that removes a lot of the boring and unnecessary bits. Does that sound familiar or do you know the name of that one? Thanks!
Speaking as a Hippie, I'm not entirely in agreement..
