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.

Actually, Yoda is Vader. The helmet is the cockpit to control the rest of the body.

We'll find out in 1980.

[–] HipHoboHarold@lemmy.world 33 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Such a stupid fan theory. It will never hold up to scrutiny.

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

Seriously, I mean what's next. The Chancellor is secrectly an evil mastermind villain? Totally unbelievable.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Some even believe that old Ben was a Jedi knight

[–] Masamune@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

No...no, that's not true. That's impossible!

[–] Karlos_Cantana@kbin.social 1 points 11 months ago

You mean that old hermit that lives on Tatooine? No way he's a Jedi.

[–] boblin@infosec.pub 33 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's impossible, we know Anakin is Luke's dad and Obi-Wan told Luke that Vader killed him.

[–] rostby@lemmy.fmhy.net 5 points 1 year ago

Luke, I fucked your mom

[–] lugal@lemmy.ml 30 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Big if true but I doubt it. Don't get me wrong, I'm down for wild speculations and fan theories but we shouldn't ignore canon

[–] capt_wolf@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

There is only one, true Vader... They don't even look anything alike!

[–] root_beer@midwest.social 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Didn’t that guy just get voted in as Argentina’s president?

[–] capt_wolf@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Seems perfectly fine and reasonable to me...

[–] Selmafudd@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

That looks nothing like the guy from Lion King

[–] anguo@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

This one does weirdly look like Kylo Ren though.

[–] JoShmoe@ani.social 14 points 1 year ago

So are we supposed to believe that Darth Vader has prosthetic limbs? Get out of here!

[–] LEDZeppelin@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Inconceivable

[–] UraniumBlazer@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Then Anakin would be breaking my hEaRt.... Then I would fall dead and give birth to two twins who would become very close in the future.

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

What are you doing step-jedi?

[–] oo1@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

no way, are you saying that darth vader might be

SPOILER
luke skywalkers father?

[–] hansl@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That doesn’t even make sense. How old would be Darth Vader? And he just jump around like that fighting with a light saber?

And Anakin doesn’t have the same voice at all. There’s just too many plot holes. It doesn’t work.

[–] oo1@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago

Darth Vader was obviously a very heavy smoker in his younger days, probably 40-a-day at least.
Never seen anakin with a cigarette.

[–] frezik@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago

That would mean Obi-Wan lied. Not only that, but he apparently didn't bother looking for Luke on his birth planet. This whole theory is a mess and I hope it's not true.

(Dropping the act, I really do think it was a mistake for Lucas to pull this trigger. Made for a great moment in movie history, but sets up a whole lot of problems in the larger plot.)

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

I dunno seems like a reach to me.

[–] superduperenigma@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, James Earl Jones voices Vader and Anakin isn't black so this theory doesn't even pass the smell test.

[–] UraniumBlazer@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just confirmed: Anakin history's first blackface

[–] undeffeined@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 6 points 1 year ago

Big if true.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 6 points 1 year ago

This is a great Easter Egg we all missed from Star Wars.

[–] arymandias@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago

How long it was after the little lava accident vs how long it was before.

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

He’s just showing 6 inches.

[–] Karlos_Cantana@kbin.social 3 points 11 months ago

That's not 6 inches, oh wait... Yes, that's 6 inches.
