Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):

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.
media industry: sucks all creativity out of the craft and replaces it with metrics and focus groups geared towards mass appeal
π€‘: it sucks cause there's a woman in it
My favourite accusation of woke was people complaining about princes leia being old and unattractive now. Like no shit? Itβs been 40ish years?
I think she still looked pretty good!
It doesn't suck because of the "woke" stuff
It sucks because apparently a multi billion dollar company sucks as writing.
The criticism is more "it sucks because all the producers cared about was getting a woman in it".
That's the more valid criticism. There's plenty of criticism in the "wamen bad" category.
yes so obsessed by a very difficult and time-consuming decision of "getting a woman in a movie". That choice was such a vital investment that it should become a cornerstone of any critique

NooooOOoooOooo
That shit still breaks me π
Sometimes a story becomes a saga, which then becomes a franchise, which then becomes a genre, which then becomes a medium.
Star Wars has gone beyond that; it's become its own economy, where it's even spawning industries of its own. And one of those industries (which sucks) are Star Wars reaction/outrage merchants, who live off the crumbs of Star Wars by appealing to people who don't even like the damn thing.
Man, I just woke up.
This gives me an idearβ¦
