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.

SWTOR is KOTOR3 for me.

Similar story telling, setting, dialogue, choices, morals and powers.

Only they added multiplayer and a cosmetics shop.

Oddly it's probably become less KOTOR over time, compared to how it was at launch.

Nah The Old Republic is why we never got a 3rd KotOR. Same reason why we don't have Elder Scrolls 6 or GTA6. Why would they make a new game when they're still making a shitload of money off mmo games that people are still playing years later?

As soon as I found out The Old Republic had a subscription fee I knew KotOR was doomed.

And then the eternal empire happened 😕

Cool sci-fi concept, but didn't feel very star wars to me.

That was really a bad move, in hindsight.

Painted themselves into so many corners they've never gotten back out of.

A plot device added to give the player somewhere to conquer / liberate.

A hidden empire that rivals the empire and republic, ruled by a powerful force user and with access to advanced technology.

I hated how it played though. And there was so much filler. And a subscription fee. And no mods.

[–] Rawrosaurus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 5 days ago

Choices meant even less than in KOTOR and KOTOR2 too.

And a subscription fee

To be fair, they made it free to play 13 years ago, less than a year after release.

[–] Demdaru@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

With a limit being level restriction etc.

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 3 points 4 days ago

The website still makes it look like there's a subscription and "cartel coins" to buy. I tried to free sometime in the past 10 years and the free mode felt limited. I think you can't sprint , or something insulting like that?

[–] essell@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Fair enough, each to their own!

I didn't feel it played too different to the originals, much of the filler was fun and the fee is optional, so I loved the game.

I've never looked into mods for the first two, except the restoration project, so have no opinion on that point!

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Is SWKOTOR still alive? I kept thinking that they shut it down

[–] essell@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

Nah, it's been passed off by the Studio to smaller maintenance company, who are doing some nice stuff with it.

New stories keep getting added, though perhaps they're not of the same quality as the originals!
