Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

Separatist systems:
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:
-
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.

"Sir, are we being too literal?"
"No, you fool! We were told to comb the desert, so we're combing it!"
We ain't found shit!
It just seems....illogical.
-Black henchman.
If Vader gets ahold of that, everyone's FUCKED.
There is only one Emperor and he doesn't share power...
"I know. That's why I threw him into mount doom when we conquered Mordor. He wont come back from that.
Vader was plotting to usurp the Emperor, like any good Sith, so the Ring wouldn't have to try at all to instantly corrupt what little good was left in him.
Was that in the original trilogy? Or extended universe stuff? I don't remember anything about it but I never read any of the EU books.
Empire Strikes Back. "Luke, you can destroy the Emperor. He has foreseen this. It is your destiny. Join me, and together we can rule the galaxy as father and son."
Adding to Samus' comment, it's also an EU thing. Yoda mentions in Phantom Menace that there are always two Sith, the master and the apprentice. This is because of a rule set up around 1000 years ago by Darth Bane. At his time, there were hundreds of Sith with academies teaching new Sith kinda like the Jedi do. By the end of his book trilogy, he set up the new pattern of exactly two Sith at any one time - a Sith master to embody the power of the dark side and an apprentice to covet the power. The apprentice proves they are ready to take over by killing their master, and thus the Sith only ever grow stronger. This lineage continued until Vader and the Emperor, so they were both expecting Vader to eventually challenge the Emperor
EDIT: Although in some of the books which are probably EU now, I feel like Palatine was so cocky that he thought he was the chosen one of the Sith, called Sith'ari I think, and so he would always be the master and Vader always the apprentice
In this instance it makes the thing you are shooting at invisible.
The Eye of Sarlac. A butthole wreathed in sand, always watching.
The Sarlacc is probably the only creature that hates sand more than Anakin. It gets everywhere.
Well it kinda all gets funneled into one place with poor ol' Sarlacc.
How does Sarlacc poop
The Spice must flow
Was it that unlikely of creatures? He stated out a hobbit after all.
that line throws me off too but it was at least unlikely given gollum's place of residence
A much better place to go than Mustafar.
The Phineas and Ferb version of that scene is probably the best scene on all the movies.
everything ends up on Tatooine
