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.

I do it every day, just to check, as I'm not gonna be one of these idiots with the force for years without realizing it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

May the force be with you.

How do you think I open automatic doors?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Same with changing the traffic lights.

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

You use incantations for changing lights "red light green light one, two, three"

Remember when automatic doors were activated by a switch under a rubber mat?

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

Pepperidge Farm remembers

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

My local pharmacy has the mat still, it doesn't operate the door anymore

As a kid you had to jump on them to make them work

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've been trying since I was 9 and I'm still trying with 33.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

You really have to! Spider-Man wasn't born Spider-Man, he became Spider-Man one day. You can't know what/when will trigger your ability to use the force. So constant testing is required.

Small tangent, that's the excuse I also use every time I'm drinking something and it goes down the wrong tube "Nope, still not Aquaman".

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 year ago

At least once? Almost any time something is just out of reach, I give it a go before moving. It's just plain fun.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (4 children)

My brother in the force, it's at least once a week.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

I do it every time I walk into the grocery store. AND IT WORKS.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Every time I notice it's time to turn some lights on. 👋

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

It's every time I want the remote.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Admit it you're doing it right now too

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

At least once? I try all the time, it takes training, what if it just starts working and I just don't try?

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

Yeah but I'd expect more stories of telekinesis if it ever worked, so I only try sometimes. Once did the Jedi mind trick hand wave for fun while high, got a laugh but don't think they were swayed to whatever I suggested. Though was mostly hoping for a laugh at the time so got some success.

Hell, that’s the least I’ve done.

When I was a kid, me and my friend were obsessed with the movie Tron. Like the makers of that movie, we had no concept of how computers actually work. But we wanted to be inside one! So one night we typed “START: TRON >> ENTER GAME GRID” on the command line of his dad’s PC and the laid our sleeping bags around the PC and went to sleep; hoping we’d wake up inside the computer all dressed in blue…

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Did it work?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Of course. I test myself for spontaneously-developed superpowers all the time, just in case.

I just hope if it's the human torch thing that eventually works, that I'm also fireproof...

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

Yes, i tried once very recently out of habit because i have been playing Half Life Alyx

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Saaame. Did it in a dream too

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

No, I tried telekinesis.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I've attempted many times.

I've only succeeded once.

Only once? I tried it multiple times during my life just in case I gained the powers later like Anikin.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Do or do not, there is no try. I have only succeed in do not.

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

I also tried to fly on multiple occasions.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Remote controls. You've all done it.

Similarly, after playing Portal, I was constantly scheming on how to get an object.

"OK, open portal on the ceiling, open portal under remote on the kitchen counter..."

While we're at it, I've been chunking stuff aside like Skywalker chunking his lightsaber and refusing to fight the Emperor. This has been going on for 30+ years.

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

I can actually send an object in one direction and have it magically returned by itself and without preparation. Though it only works straight up and back down 😌

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I feel called out

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

In my dreams but it actually works.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

That requires moving my hand, which is way too much effort some times.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Pretty much every day I try to force-choke a colleague too.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

When Matilda moves things with her mind, is she using the Force? If so, then yes.

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

Bro I grew up watching Matilda and Alex Mack so yeah but also nah

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

I blame my hemorrhoid on trying this too damn hard.

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

Every day just in case I unlock a latent ability.

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

Literally every time I want the remote.

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

Once ever? Once a week maybe!

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

I have witnesses of me using the Force to get a strike in bowling.

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

I do it with my force all the time, its so easy.

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

25 ppl tried and failed.

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

At least once? I try ever poop to move something on my counter!
