Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.
==========
Other universes to visit:
Separatist systems:
Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):
!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:
-
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.

I saw D&W yesterday and I was blown away by the acting Hugh Jackman brought to it. I’ve always been a little skeptical of him as Wolvie because I’m a comic fan and Wolverine is supposed to be small and nasty - not tall and pretty and kind and into musicals. Like Hugh Jackman is. When Hugh Jackman hosted the Oscars it hurt my brain to see him pirouetting and tap dancing and singing.
But after yesterday: fucking respect man. He made Wolverine his. The comic Wolverine is still there and always will be but Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine is now legit in its own right in my mind, forever.
The whole film helped honestly the way they costumed him and choreographed his claws-out squats. But he for sure brought every acting chop there is to the close ups. No one will ever take heartfelt acting seriously in a gonzo film like this, but I did. Tear to my eye.
Thank you Mr. Jackman. All the respect.
I don't understand... He already accomplished that earlier this century.
It took me until now to be sold. Thats just me.
In one of the original XMen trilogy BTS he acknowledged that he was playing against type. He said he would start his day shooting in the Canadian winter with a cold shower, because it set him on edge and gave him the intensity and low-level anger he needed to play the part. Definitely worth checking out those movies if you liked him here.
I want a Wolverine musical, dammit!
They actually made one from when he was living in France in the early 1800s. It was before his mutant power's had fully manifested to the point they are in the comics. It's called the Les Miserables.

I loved how they showed how dumb tiny wolverine would have looked.
