History of the Galaxy, part one, by Mel Brooks.

[-] freamon@feddit.nl 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Have found it impossible to upload this file directly to Lemmy. It's already a compressed WEBP file, but whatever settings I use, Lemmy insists on copying it and compressing it further, until there's only about 5 pixels left. So the only options left are for the post to be a link to the external url, or for it to look like a comment post, but with an inline image squashed inside. Neither are ideal.

EDIT: My experience with Lemmy:

EDIT 2: Now have something a bit more acceptable, loaded directly to Lemmy.
Lemmy always seems to compress WEBP at 75% - I uploaded an image, it compressed it, I downloaded Lemmy's version and re-up'd that, and it compressed it again. Presumably I could do this forever.

So, I created the original WEBP using the 'lossless' setting (it was about 2.5MB), uploaded that and let Lemmy convert it, and now it doesn't look too bad. The only thing is I had to use the version I tested at enterprise.lemmy.ml, 'cos feddit.nl got confused by the transparent frames. So the trick seems to be: upload the least efficient version imaginable

What’s funny is Hyuang might be old enough to have been there for part 1

He was a robot in the Jedi temple. Dudes been around 1000s of years according to some throw away dialogue about him training younglings. It's also crazy to think the movies really only take place over the span of like 80-100 years based on Anakin's age at the beginning of phantom menace +lukes age in the Disney trilogy. The imperial empire was around for like only 40 years.

In SW:TCW’s crucible/ the gathering arc; he says that he was training Jedi for a thousand generations.

Specifically, he taught them to build their lightsabers (which is why Ashoka had him look at the recordings of Baylen and Shin to identify their lightsabers.)

In any case, TPM was 32 BBY, with rise of the skywalk we happening 35ABY, giving a gap of 67 years. The series is happening at 9ABY, after the episode in the madalorian where he goes looking for Ashoka and we see him get that spear from Morgan Elsbeth.

I think most Padawans preferred the darker tones of part two. Part three is good, but it made the franchise a little too childish.

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.
