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.

YES! FINALLY! I FUCKING LOVE LINEAR TV PROGRAMMING!
Not being funny, I actually do love linear programming. I miss the days when I'd just turn on the TV and there's be a random episode of the Simpsons or King of the Hill, or something with stupidly many episode like one of the thousand Law & Orders.
Picking something to watch from the beginning is a chore, and now I feel invested if I don't end up being in the mood. Stuff that's just "already playing" is something I dreamed of recreating when I started (not)pirating everything. "It started 5 minute ago but this is a good episode " was how I grew up watching TV (and even movies).
You can do this with Plex, which I find occasionally nice
I know, I know, I'm just relating to a comment. It's also a feature on other sites
Personally I'd like a "live" TV with 1-episode DVR. As in, I can tune in to a random whatever and if I find it actually interesting I can hop back to the start of the episode and enjoy without having to completely miss the before bits.
I occasionally go to pirate sites that do this. You just go and tune in to a channel with a chat of other people who are just watching whatever plays.
I enjoy watching cartoon network and discovery when I stay at a hotel, reminds me of my youth.
I think my favorite part is the fact that everybody (with the exception of telecasts) is seeing the same thing at the same time, so it was more of a social event like sports. It was so great back then.
Ideal would be a playlist you build and hit randomize. You pay for it. No commercials. I don’t think there’s a service that does this…
