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

==========

Other universes to visit:

!lotrmemes@midwest.social

!tenforward@lemmy.world

Separatist systems:

!prequelmemes@lemmy.world

Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):

!star_wars@lemmy.world

!starwars@lemmy.ml

!starwarstelevision@lemmy.world

==========

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.

If you remember the first season. Andor was a merc who did the Aldani job for payment. That's why Luthin wanted to kill him; he wasn't a rebel, but he had a head full of rebel intel.

Maarva refused to go with him into his comfortable retirement and he basically abandoned her and the fight. He ran.

His subsequent imprisonment was a direct result of him turning his back and choosing the easy path. He didn't fail Maarva when she died, he failed her when he gave up the fight.

EDIT: this is a big part of his development. He didn't get radicalized in prison. He got radicalized by his guilt and grief for Maarva.

I'm pretty sure being stuck in space prison with Gollum was a factor.

He was still a one-man rebellion fighting for himself. It wasn't until the funeral that he decided to throw his will to life into the furnace and give himself to rebellion.

He made a decision on Fraxis to either die by Luthens hand or by the Emperor's. The loss of Maarva made him so ashamed and angry that in the desire to make up for it, he made a suicide pact. That's not the same man who jumped into the water and swam for his life.

Nah, I just don't feel like typing out a thesis to defend what started out as an offhand joke under a meme post.
