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):
!starwarstelevision@lemmy.world

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.

The new EU is actually better about this than the old EU. By the time A New Hope starts, there are just four surviving members of the Jedi Order; Yoda, Obi-Wan, Ahsoka, and Ezra. Ahsoka is thought to be dead and went to ground even better than Yoda and Obi after Malachor, and Ezra is in another galaxy. Ahsoka also isn't a Jedi anymore and is developing a distinct philosophy.
They're also banking on having been wrong about the Chosen One, believing it's one of the twins instead of Anakin. That they misinterpretted the prophecy completely is, of course, out of the question.
Where does Kyle Katarn come into this? IIRC, those games were considered part of the EU canon before Disney got the rights. Technically not a Jedi; but he has Jedi (and Sith) powers and is also a good guy who had worked with the Rebel Alliance.
Most EU stuff was declared non-canon after the Disney acquisition, so I'm pretty sure Kyle isn't canon anymore. However, the new Jedi Survivor games are seen as a spiritual successor to the Katarn games; Cal Kestis even uses some dark-side powers at the end of the second game. There are a few references to Kyle Katarn throughout the new canon.
I'm no Jedi; I'm just a guy with a lightsaber and a few questions.
He doesn't become a Jedi until Luke trains him at the New Jedi Academy. Until that point, he's "just" a force sensitive.
