the Sith are the wolves at the door.
The Republic is a really shitty, busted up, almost useless door.
getting rid of the door is not going to help you.
Criticism of the door is not advocating for the wolves. You're doing the thing.
You're projecting.
I too criticized the door, and did so without advocating for the wolves.
Exactly what you did.
You called yourself a motherfucker this day.
Maybe replacing the busted up door with a new one is a good idea?
It's not like you have to choose between only two options.
Unless you kill the wolves first, they will kill you the moment you attempt to replace the door because in order to put a new door up you must take this one down.
You're right. I guess accepting a mediocre bare-minimum forever is the best we should expect.
It's almost as if the broken door's existence depends on the fear of the wolf.
Wrong. We must kill the wolves. Whether this is incidental damage by extensive use of a nail gun while attempting to reinforce the existing door is just a pleasant accident.
Or you could replace pieces of the door until is brand new without giving too much chance of the wolf bust inside.
Pretty flippant language for such a risky maneuver. Talk is cheap.
Did someone order wolves on SpacerUberEats? Possibly while high?
"We should improve the New Republic somewhat."
"Yet you participate in the New Republic. Curious! I am very intelligent."
What's with the cough drop packet on the jacket?
Well, you certainly wouldn't want to keep them on your shoe.
You don't know me
You're Space Noodle.
You know me
If I could only know myself.
Star comics Ewoks! Man, that brings me back!
If Mt. Sorrow isn't obscure meme material idk what is.
It was interesting recognizing an image that I hadn't seen in over 30 years.
Then you have the empire supporters arguing about how the empire was better.
/r/theEmpireDidNothingWrong
They Are Both Not wrong, Also Not Deflection, Simple Statement Of Fact
How is it not deflection when it's used to curb criticism? Is it your opinion that facts cannot be used as deflection when they aren't relevant purely because it is a truth?
Sometimes it's just good to look at the bright side
Okey Cyou
Since one of the founding members of the new republic later forms yet another resistance group, maybe they aren't better than the empire.
Well, I think Leia got kicked out of the New Republic when people figured out that Vader was her father. And I'm pretty sure the resistance was to fight against the First Order, not the New Republic.
That makes the new republic so much worse. It requires active effort to be as incompetent as they are written.
100% agreed. The New Republic was such a disaster that it wasn't even believable in the sequel trilogy, which was one of many (many, many, many) things they were criticized for.
I do like how they are expanding on that in The Mandalorian by showing that it was infiltrated and sabotaged by imperial loyalists. In fact Tim Meadows' character in this meme was one such imperial loyalist infiltrator. So it's not that they were solely incompetent due to having no plan. But their plan was to rehabilitate and assimilate the former imperials, but the rehabilitation part failed, so former imperials pretended to be rehabilitated and then just sabotaged the New Republic.
They are expanding on it out of necessity, and I believe it is just retconning because of how poorly thought out the sequel trilogy was. But I am enjoying the story we are getting out of it nonetheless.
Was Meadow's character a former imperial? I either missed that or completely forgot it, what was the tip off?
I thought immediately after this conversation with Carson Teva (Paul Sun-Hyung Lee), Colonel Tuttle (Tim Meadows) immediately gives that information to Elia Kane (Katy O'Brian), who then gives it to Moff Gidean (Giancarlo Esposito).
Perhaps I misinterpreted him speaking with Elia Kane as working with her. But for sure Elia Kane was an imperial infiltrator. Perhaps they weren't working together.
Oh maybe I'm misremembering the whole scene.
I vaguely remember that. I think when I watched it I interpreted it as him naively sharing information with her. Perhaps it was part of her duties to collect the data, she did seem fairly high up the New Republic's information stream.
I think you're right. I just read through the script of that scene, and I think Colonel Tuttle was just doing his job. Elia Kane inserted herself into the conversation and confirmed that Tuttle shouldn't help Nevarro at this time, then got more information out of the conversation while Carson Teva was only trying to help.
So yeah, on second thought, I don't think Tuttle was imperial, only Kane.
Whew. I was worried I needed to delete the meme.
Nah, It's a great meme either way.
All this means is that I need to watch more Star Wars. My wife will be annoyed, but itll be worth it.
Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.
Technical note: if you're coming from another star system and are getting a "Subscription pending" message when trying to dock, that's just the console being slow to display the right message. The connection is already established. (Probably.)

Special days!
Friday and weekends: Caption contest. An image will be pinned, and we shall make captions for it and post them in the comments.
Wednesday: Theme day. We have Droids day, EU day, poem day, aliens day... Let the pinned post guide you. Memes with the theme are preferred.

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.
