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.

Maybe later, once we're finished with all our duties, like putting down the illegal Tattooine slave uprising and various other revolts that threaten the status quo.
Actually, on second thought, a mother is a personal connection. Can't have the Jedi making human connections because if they end up dying without heirs, the Jedi order usually gets most or all of their shit. We'll just ignore the whole genetic component of force sensitivity (and also fail to discover that Anakin's strength is because his father was literally the dark side of the force).
In Legends, he actually sent a valuable item to Shmi for her to buy herself her freedom, which she gave to Cliegg for him to buy her freedom from Watto.
Edit: he being Qui-Gon Edit 2: the book was Tatooine Ghost
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).
IIRC, you don't need the force to cheat at Sabbac. Just need to be the main character who goes first
He knows that
a) pod racing brings other good stuff (tourism, commerce, street vendors).
b) the pod racing industry are wealthy and can take the hit. Rather than betting against other gamblers he's betting against bookies (the gambling industry).
c) homegrown hero stories bring the planet closer to supporting rebellion politics.
Aren't the rebels the bad guys at that point? You know, with the whole gassing thing? The rebellion against the Galactic Empire doesn't exist, seeing how the Galactic Empire doesn't even exist yet.
IIRC they called the bad guys the Separatists in that movie.
They didn't exist then either. The bad guys were the Trade Federation that blockaded Naboo and wanted to take over the planet.
Weren't the trade federation and the separatists the same thing?
Or am I mixing up my ep 1 and ep 2 names?
It's been a while, and tbh I'm not eager to go back and rewatch them.
The Trade Federation were part of the Separatist in Episode 2 and 3 (and the Clone Wars series).
But then we wouldn’t have a cool pod-racing scene!
Or the n64 cash grab game! (That I actually kinda liked)
The PC pod racing game was fun. At least, I thought it was at the time.
I remember the Gameboy Color game with rumble pack being pretty fun as well, but really hard.
as a child it was cool. as an adult it's just sooooooo loooooooong...
I saw the movie in the theater during the original run. I have a copy on VHS, and I have a copy on DVD. The version on the DVD is longer and adds NOTHING, it's more footage of the same shit happening.
“I’m not your Palawan, buddy!”
"What if we just let George do whatever he wants and nobody says anything?"
The prequels were huge blow to Auteur Theory. Even if you think they're redeemed, I think you still have to admit that this isn't the result you would want for complete creative control.
Oh, people said things. But he just told them off and did what he was going to do anyways.
Like when he wanted cgi troopers for attack of the clones. Everyone told him it was going to be costly, look worse than real actors, and be time consuming. He stuck his feet in the sand and they did it anyways.
"Now that I've mastered digital eyelash rendering my characters are better than ever!"
Yes, and that's why you're the nerd Padawan and I'm the cool, hotshot Jedi Knight
