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.

Which "he"? Obi Wan or Anakin? Or Qui Gon maybe, I could see him doing that soon after getting back to Correscant and there were a lot of significant things that happening off screen during Phantom Menace (eg, that's when the tragedy of Darth Plagueis happens, right after Palpatine secures the Chancellorship, when Plagueis gets drunk celebrating it).

Hold up, Darth Plagueis was still alive during the events of TPM? I always assumed that Sheev must have killed him before he took on Maul as an apprentice. Rule of two, and all that.

Plagueis didn't believe in the rule of 2 and allowed Palpatine to take an apprentice. He thought they should use whatever strength they could get.

Palpatine also didn't believe in the rule of 2, but instead followed his own rule of one: he planned on becoming immortal (which the whole coming back was a part of). So he'd take apprentices knowing that they might come for him eventually, and just planned on killing them and replacing them. Like with Vader's apprentices, he just needed to discover them and make Vader turn on them because he wasn't confident enough to confront him directly until RotJ when he was killing Luke (after openly offering him Vader's spot... He hated Vader being broken right from the start, but no one else held a candle to him other than Palp himself).

Huh, thanks for the info!
