Star Wars Memes

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.

You may think this is offensive to the Star Wars universe. But, in reality, Star Wars is living rent free in your brain, OP. So much so, in fact, that you took time out of your day to post this. Whereas, we couldn't care less about this apparent rivalry, you have Star Wars so ingrained in your head, you keep track of our days in order to attempt to sully them. Tell me... why do you feel the need to keep Star Wars in your foreground, if you claim to hate it so? Is it, possibly, because you know that it is better content, that you need to prove to yourself that your show is better than it? Maybe, it is because your friends are Trekkies, but you are one of us, living in darkness? Come, my brethren, come into the light.

Lol

Seriously, though, cool post!

I feel like you taking it as a dig instead of playful banter means it lives a little more in your head than theirs.

Maybe take these things a little less seriously.

I assumed this was enough to show I was playing into the joke, but I guess not?

Going on a long rant and then finishing it with something akin to "just kidding bro"... not so much, no.

But going on a long rant and then finishing it with /s, which is something akin to “just kidding bro”… is ok?

No hatred, nor malice intended. Just thought it'd be fun to take the piss on a day generally focused on Star Wars. I enjoy several series and they all have their faults. My work speaks to that end. Glad you liked it.

No, I got that lol. I wanted to play into the joke you started, that's why I added the last statement in there (because I genuinely enjoyed the joke).

I meant to ask. Did you make this or find it? If you made it, what did you use to make it? It, somehow, has both a Trek and Wars vibe to it, and I'm really diggin it.

I used Star Wars Intro Creator, which generates a full on video of the input text. However, you have to pay to obtain the actual file. So, being an ever industrious memer, I simply took screenshots and cropped it together. You'll see some repeated star formations if you zoom in.

I would have done the exact same thing lol I'll pay for a good service, but maybe not so much for a meme or joke, however awesome. Thanks! And, thanks for posting this; it's been good fun!

You got it.
