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.

I'm so glad there's a big red arrow so I can easily identify the joke. I would have missed it among all the other comments that weren't visible.

It’s a group where they all pretend to be stupid, so makes sense.

My brother in Christ, you clicked the New Post button.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

To repost that image which is obviously not from Lemmy.

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean, it sure looks like your post, what with that [OP] tag next to your name.

Obviously the image you're posting isn't yours... but you still posted it.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You apparently need arrows more than you think:

[–] Squorlple@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

If you can add red arrows to a picture before submitting it, then why not remove them before submitting as well?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Because I honestly didn't think it was that big a deal.

And I still don't.

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah, if you say it, it must be true. I must be hallucinating you having posted it.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Oh for fuck's sake. How much clearer do you need me to make it that, as I said in the body when I did this, I didn't post it, I just found it somewhere and reposted it? Is that enough hand holding for you?

[–] Squorlple@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are you claiming that to repost is not itself a form of posting?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

FFS. I really didn't think I had to argue semantics in a meme community.

[–] SkyNTP@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

As someone who has installed a toilet or two, I have to say, the skills of the plumber who managed to reach in there and tighten all the connexions is seriously underrated. Mr Fantastic level reach. Which makes me think this is fake.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

It didn't start that narrow. That's just how narrow it got before R2 stopped the walls from closing in.

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 4 points 1 year ago

The walls were put up after the toilet, possibly. (Probably fake)

[–] xenspidey@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pretty sure that's not ADA compliant.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't think it's OSHA compliant either.

[–] hydrospanner@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I'd double check the Geneva Conventions while you're at it.

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

For a second it looked like there was a shower curtain rod behind the toilet... Yikes.

[–] Squorlple@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What scene is this comment meant to be referencing? The only scene I can think of with R2-D2 and a conveyor is the droid factory in AotC, but that line isn’t said in there. I would think the trash compactor scene from ANH would be more apt for the photo, but there is no conveyor in there. Or because this was posted in “a group where everyone pretends to be stupid”, is the commenter intentionally making up a quote and I’m just being gaslit via Asch Experiment analog into thinking that I don’t know Star Wars?

[–] Undearius@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They mean the trash compactor from the first movie, Ep. 4, after they escape with the princess.

[–] Squorlple@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That’s what I would think as well, but there is no conveyor

[–] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Yeah, they fuck up the whole reference, but that scene was the intent behind the comment.

[–] Kabloink@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What type of witchery is going on with that reflection on the right?

[–] Dindonmasker@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

The wall has a small corner there so it cuts the reflexion.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)
[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It would make me super anxious.

[–] Num10ck@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)
[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Don't need it. This guy cleans you up.

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

On the wall behind the photographer. You have to walk over for every piece.

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, you just need to remember to grab the end before you walk over to the toilet.

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Clever girl...

[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I'm slightly claustrophilic, so it wouldn't bother me psychologically, but it seems like it would be annoying trying to reach around to wipe and stuff. Plus it looks narrower than my shoulders, but that could be the lens.
