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 know? That is not bad at all. Not bad at all. Why not? Why not the parallel universe version? Maybe they could use the chance to fix the dumpster fire the prequels were as well and perhaps even go along with Darth Jar-Jar.

[–] LemmySoloHer@lemmy.world 47 points 1 year ago (2 children)

My (new) hope is that in the parallel universe version they didn't do the special edition re-releases and kept in the original Mos Eisley Cantina scene.

Remember friends, Hana shot first!

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 42 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Han shot only. Greedo never got a shot off, Han straight up ended him in cold blood.

Lest we forget, Greedo pointed a gun at him first, Han literally defended himself from a threat of lethal force. Jabba wanted Han dead or alive, and Greedo makes it clear he'd look forward to shooting.

It's part of why the edit is so galling, honestly, it was already justified.

Isn't there a team doing an effort to "remaster" the originals and remove all the added digital garbage?

[–] fogstormberry@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

do you mean harmy's despecialized edits?

There's also the 4k77, 4k80, and 4k83 projects which made 4k versions of Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi respectively, all from original 35mm reels of the movies.

Darth Jar Jar. Big missed opportunity.

"But the audiences, the opinion panels, the surveys"

It was a Starwars movie, it was a guaranteed success at the box. The viewers can handle a little disappointment for a better story.

I could handle a non sensical character for a long stretch if at the peak of my rage that character became a such pivotal one, with a twist so unexpected and deep applied to it, it forced me to go back and review the entire story with new eyes.

Why is crop top Han at Oktoberfest?

[–] bhamlin@lemmy.world 52 points 1 year ago (3 children)

He should have to wear the bra, too

[–] HiddenLychee@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Either way works for me. I just want to see more of that loin cloth

[–] Johandea@feddit.nu 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Really? I was just thinking I'd like to see less loin cloth...

In space? Really?

[–] mriormro@lemmy.world 51 points 1 year ago

We already got here

[–] KinNectar@kbin.run 36 points 1 year ago

Hot. Do more.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago

I am interested in this story.

[–] paddirn@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Where’s his mankini? I don’t remember Leia walking around topless.

[–] MrSqueezles@lemm.ee 40 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I also don't remember Han wearing a scoop neck, skin tight crop top.

[–] TalesFromTheKitchen@lemmy.ml 17 points 1 year ago

10/10 would shoot first.

[–] loopedcandle@lemmynsfw.com 16 points 1 year ago

This better not awaken anything in me. . .

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago

ngl this looks fresh on the eggs

[–] barsoap@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm not sure whether whoever made this is aware that the skimpy outfit wasn't something Leia chose to wear, this was. Now I don't mind canon-bending Jabba the Hutt into being gay or bi but "equality is when slave outfit" nah I'll pass.

[–] LesserAbe@lemmy.world 48 points 1 year ago (4 children)

In the movie universe it was a creepy evil guy who made her wear the slave outfit, and doesn't make sense to get mad at a fictional character. In real life the people making the movie decide what outfits people wear, and we're allowed to have opinions about that.

The Star Wars movie I really wanted.

[–] rickdg@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Jen Solo and Prince Leo

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Should have been Luke, not Solo though...

[–] Draegur@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago
[–] majormoron@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Still hot (the chick is cute too)

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

Not gonna lie. I’d watch this movie.

[–] Lauchs@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Is that Sasha Grey? I'd watch the hell out of a Star Wars featuring her.

[–] UltraBlack@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

is she tingling his balls??

So why can i see Hana's belly?
