Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.
==========
Other universes to visit:
Separatist systems:
Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):
!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:
-
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.

This last round was the line for me. Canceled the whole Hulu/D+ mess and haven't looked back. My Jolly Roger is a little tattered these days, but I still know how to fly it.
I quit years ago, back when for me the easiest way to watch what I pirated on my TV was slapping it on a flash drive and walking to the tv like some kind of pleb.
Plex is glorious!
Argh me hearty, fly it with pride.
Honestly it's never been easier
Recently got on board (heh) with all the -arrs and my Plex is now basically all streaming services combined.
I started seeing ads when playing (some) Amazon/paramount videos, plus the Netflix and Disney+ password crackdowns, and the price increases, I'm so over this crap.
I’m feeling the same way. I was getting pissed off that my kids couldn’t watch Netflix when they were at grandmas house first. Now they got mid-roll ads and I’m so over it.
Remember when they’d grandfather accounts in so you keep the old rate and features as a token of appreciation for your loyalty as a customer?
Yeah that’s an ancient relic these days. Your loyalty as a customer means dick.
I don’t even pay for Netflix or Disney. They are covered by my phone (TMobile) and credit card (Amex BCP) respectively.
Still, GabeNs Law has proven accurate once again. Ahoy.
Stremio + Real-Debrid is the way to go imo
Don't forget Torrentio. That's a crucial part of that combo.
I forgot that its not built into Stremio honestly
I love how the initial stremio setup follows your account if you install it on another device.
Right? I really struggled getting it set up on my Shield TV because I didn't understand that the setup will follow the account. So, anyone new to this, set it up on your computer where it's easiest, then just log in everywhere else.
Yar har, fiddle de dee Being a pirate is alright with me! Do what you want 'cause a pirate is free You are a pirate!

Welcome, new user!
Mmm it’s really sad but some of the nonstandard acquisition sites (even free ones) are better for content discovery than any service has ever been.
Because they don’t fucking recommend each other do they? No.
But the alternative market knows no boundaries. They don’t give a fuck who put what out. “Hey fyi since you like this, you might like this handful of similar things that we make nothing directly off telling you about , but indirectly benefit because you come back”
The Reddit megathread is one of the only things on that site I still reference. Not great, but better than the alternatives (until I get automation set up then it’s all over).
I was already on the fence about cancelling Disney, and honestly this is a great excuse.
Those Disney shows are kinda awful. Outside of The Mandalorian, the marvel shows and other side stories are extremely hit and miss.
The last season of the Mandolorian wasn't even good. It spent most of it's time setting up other crap I am not interested in. There really isn't anything they can do that will make the premise for the sequels not a lazy regressive pile of garbage and it's dragging this show down with it. I didn't even bother with Ashoka since that looked like it was going to be even more of that.
Ahsoka could have been good if it was longer bit they just spent the whole series building up and left it hanging at the end and the actor for the most interesting character died so that part of it can't go anywhere
I really liked rebels a lot (especially once they improved the textures). I just can't bring myself to get invested in Star Wars anymore given Disney's handling of it thus far.
I wasn't even planning on cancelling Disney+. I wanted to downsize from the Hulu combo package because I found i never watched Hulu, but it wouldn't let me switch directly. I had to let the combo membership run out before I could start a new D+ membership.
And, well, I just have gotten around to that yet...
The only thing I use Disney for is to rewatch old X-Men
I wish they had all Silver Surfer seasons.

I started flying my jolly roger cause I was out of a job but now I have such a library and I have no desire to ever pay for a subscription again.
