Kung-fu Jesus

[-] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 21 points 8 months ago

Obi-Wan: I am not the messiah you are looking for.

Stilgar: LISAN AL-GHAIB!!!

[-] hsr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 8 months ago

Anakin is not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy!

[-] wjrii@lemmy.world 17 points 8 months ago

Space Jesus to Spice Jesus: "You want to go home and rethink your life."

[-] teft@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Does that mean Obi-Wan knows the ways of the Bene Gesserit witches? They're the only power in the known universe who can use the Voice.

Is he the Kwisatz Haderach?

[-] wjrii@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago

Or... are the bene gesserit just using an old jedi mind trick.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 15 points 8 months ago

The Spice Girls in the Dune universe must be wild.

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

At least you know what they really really want

[-] swab148@startrek.website 3 points 8 months ago

If you don't, they'll tell you

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Will they though?

That song is full of mixed messages. I still have no clue what a Zig-a-zig-ahh is, and I'm pretty certain that if I took them at their word, they'd get mad when I "got with their friends."

[-] josefo@leminal.space 8 points 8 months ago

It's basically space magic jesus, and space cocaine jesus

[-] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 7 points 8 months ago

Star Wars is a knockoff of Dune even Frank Herbert thought it was ripping off many things. He said that if George Lucas didn't rip him off then he at least owed him dinner for all the coincidences

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

Oh boy, just wait until he sees what Games Workshop did.

[-] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 months ago

He is dead, but his son and another "author" wrote a large amount of sequels, prequels, and spinoffs with the "of Dune" added on to sell hot trash.

That is directly ripping off his ideas unlike anything Games Workshop could ever do.

[-] novibe@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago

They shat on his ideas lol

But you can’t say they ripped off his ideas, as the books are technically cannon and direct sequels. Sadly…

[-] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 months ago

Apparently based on notes Frank left, for all we know his "notes" could have been:

1.) Write more Dune books. 2.) profit.

[-] David_Eight@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

If anything, Star Wars is a rip off of "The Hidden Fortress". I'm not super knowledgeable about Dune, what parts did George take?

[-] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 months ago

I don't have a full list but Frank Herbert had once said there was 16 coincidences between the two stories. One or two is a random chance, 16 is plagiaristic.

[-] Gabu@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Why of course - I love when the space wizards of Dune start doing a bunch of flips while waving around their glowing blades made of pure light.

[-] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 months ago

Well when you read the last book and learn about Miles Teg you will see the spice wizard. The laser swords though wouldn't happen. When a laser intersects with a shield then a giant atomic explosion happens.

[-] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 1 points 8 months ago

Star Wars is a knockoff of Dune

Nah, of Valerian & Laureline. Or both.

[-] creditCrazy@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

Left: you without death sticks Right: you with death sticks. Don't do drugs younglings

[-] Wilzax@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

What is a lightsaber if not a very large, very hot Gom Jabbar?

[-] Retreaux@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Spice Jesus is just Australian Space Jesus

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 months ago

Okay but hear me out, he could also bs Redneck Space Jesus. Mind you Australians are effectively Anglo-sphere Rednecks.

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 5 points 8 months ago

Both also suffer from a lack of pigmentation even though they are constantly showered in ultraviolet radiation.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

But Spice Jesus is in Space

[-] AllonzeeLV@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago

Technically everything is, including us.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago
[-] AllonzeeLV@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

You might be, I consider myself Negan.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

Is that where you eat nothing but negatives?

[-] AllonzeeLV@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Walking dead reference, everyone in the villain's gang called themselves Negan it was a pop culture thing.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

TWD got boring before that season, and I guess I didn't get that far in the comix either.

[-] rikudou 1 points 8 months ago

I stopped exactly at the episode where the real Negan showed up (at least I think it was him). It got kinda boring and repetitive.

[-] littlebluespark@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Spice Jesus transcends Space Jesus as the latter is far far away and long long ago, where the former is now and forever the only true salvation of all plebian people against His white AF ancestors. (see also: Lieutenant John Dunbar and Jake Sully, et al)

Praise Be His Most Generous Renunciation of Inborn Privilege. May we Always Strive to be Worthy of such Salvation.

[-] Gabu@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Ok but... Anakin is the space jesus. Well, minus the "not doing a deal with the devil" bit.

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

There were memes a few years ago using that pic of Master Kenobi, that claimed that people gave the picture to elderly relatives that thought it was a picture of Jesus.

Yeah narratively Anakin, Luke, and Rey would be Space Jesus, but Kenobi looks like the classic pictures of "white Jesus."

[-] meyotch@slrpnk.net 2 points 8 months ago

For reference this is the Mormon Jesus. I see the resemblance

[-] nilaus@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Where is spicy Jesús?

[-] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

He also doesn’t have worms.

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Spice Jesus also refused to become a worm

Where's Erotic Jesus?

[-] Toneswirly@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Jesus Spice is the ugly one.

[-] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 months ago

But what about jesus spice ala the spice girls

[-] undeffeined@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago

May the Spice be with you

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.
