Star Wars Memes

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):

IMPORTANT

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:

  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.

Except for the part in prophecy where Jesus is specifically described as being unattractive lol

"He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him." https://web.mit.edu/jywang/www/cef/Bible/NIV/NIV_Bible/ISA+53.html#:~:text=He%20had%20no%20beauty%20or,that%20we%20should%20desire%20him.&text=He%20was%20despised%20and%20rejected,and%20we%20esteemed%20him%20not.

Hair was also curlier, like lamb's wool.

He could probably have had some decent dreads.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

Given his association with the wild preacher, John the Baptist, he very well might have

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I thought those passages meant he had back hair you could get lost in for days but I'm no religious scholar

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Now that ties on with the absence of bueaty!

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

Maybe that's why Jews don't believe him to be the messiah — he was too damn hot.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't see any reason to take the term "beauty" here in a modern sense. If that is the game we are playing here.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Flashback to that mustachioed Persian princess "beauty".

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I dunno man, that complexion still seems a little too light.

Adjust your screen contrast until Jesus appears properly.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I hope I'm not the only one old enough to be thinking of a Smurf yelling at me to adjust my TV

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Honestly before my time, but that was an epic episode. And I remember adjusting color sets…

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nah dude I'm not fucking with my screen settings just cause y'all keep picking weird Jesuses

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is it "Jesuses"? "Jesi"? "Jeese"? Or maybe it's "Christs Jesus" like attorneys general?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm not gonna speak to the divinity of y'all's Jesuses but mine makes a pretty mean crab enchilada. I think you might be going to the wrong church.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The dog tags of his fallen enemies as armor is how what Jesus did as well

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Metal as fuck, making his papa proud with that old testament vibe.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Still too woke. He was a Jedi and they were all about the … ah who am i kiding…

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What jesus actually looks like:

🪦

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

More like: 💀

But honestly is more like: 🧚‍♂️

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Are you all discussing how a person from a fairytale looked like?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The joke is more about Americans thinking a bronze age man in the middle east looking like a white American or European.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The Iron Age(s) started several hundred years before the Roman conquest of Judaea.

The Hittites in Anatolia, basically next door to the area, were among the first to discover iron working.

Chalk it up to great marketing.

Allegedly based on a portrait of a Borgia for their imaginary savior, white-washing him. Much more palatable for the xenophobic religious zealots.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

In all fairness, Jesus was probably an historical figure. Everything built around his life though...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Star Wars is no fairytale! (well, actually it is)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Nuh uh

It's a historical documentary

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

All I’m saying is that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. There is someone for everyone. Somebody thought that Jesus was one super hot hunk of man meatus.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Beauty is the eye of the beer holder

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Authentically stepping out of a space vehicle as wel 😹

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Those are the same person.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

You made Jesus.....not white? BURN THE HERETIC!!!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Wait, why do people think Jesus look like Black Mask again?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)
