Star Wars Memes

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.

Technically he wasn't a Sith Lord at that point.

Depends on which lore you follow, He was groomed from very young, and I hate this, but new canon has made Sidious the one that impregnated Anis mom, with the force that is.

...Plagueis and Palpatine creating Anakin is a part of Legends continuity, not new Disney canon, as part of the Darth Plagueis novel, released in 2012. Though Acolyte does imply they're going to also establish that in Disney canon as well.

[–] TseseJuer@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago

i remember the initial announcement of the Acolyte and ties to it being focused on sheev. I feel like it will move to palps being the Acolyte of the title. God I hope so the twin shit is so lame and cringey osha is a straight up traitor and is so fucking cringey

I’ve read the entire legends series through to the end of episode 3 sceeenplay, it’s not mentioned in legends/expanded universe that Sidious did anything, it was a failed experiment by plageous and he didn’t even know it at the time…. A new comic that came out this year or last in Disney canon is where it comes from.

Edited for clarity

I mean, that's real cool, but this wiki states that the Grand Experiment, during which Plagueis and Palpatine made Anakin, was in Legends continuity.

Wasn't it the opposite? Plagueis tried to corrupt the living force and create life but the force was so disgusted by him that it cut him out and created Anakin as the counter the tilt?

Plagueis wanted to create perfect force life but was cut off. The living force was Anakin's other procreator.

Could be completely wrong. I saw all of this in a Sheev Talks video where I was so sure he was referencing a canon book.

[–] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You are bang on legends lore, in Disney lore they changed it to Sidious directly manipulating a pregnant shmi.

Like I don’t totally 100% hate it, it works with Plageous as well, they could do that his experiment failed and sidious further augmented the midichlorians. That line of reasoning is kinda cool, I just hate how everything seems to revolve around palpatine.

BUT with the rule of 2, until someone replaces him or he has a new apprentice, everything kinda does have to be done by him. So kinda hemlocked by the lore in that regard.

You can't just yada yada over the best part!

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 21 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

His light saber wasn't red yet, so she didn't.

I'll die on this hill.

(The earliest I'll give you is when he killed the younglings, I actually want Disney to do a Lucas remaster and have his saber turn red during that scene and straight up gaslight the world saying it was always like that).

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

LOL, that would be kind of hilarious. It would mess with the timeline ("your father wanted you to have this") and the preexisting lore of "tortured kybercrystals" though.

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Yes! Yes exactly! Ha!

[–] PythagreousTitties@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

Maybe his little saber was red at the time

[–] massacre@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

no... she mentioned the bisque

[–] scroll_responsibly@lemmy.sdf.org 20 points 3 months ago

I @galacticgeeklore a Sith Lord.

[–] wewbull@feddit.uk 16 points 3 months ago

Obi-wan didn't kill a sith lord. He was killed by one.
