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.

It’s a mix of things that are at least 5 years out of date and things that only are said by millennials mocking gen A/Z.
Is it? I've heard Zillennials use most of these in casual conversation...
“Fam” here should be replaced with “chat,” that’s the biggest one that makes it feel wrong to me.
“That’s cap” is very 2019 coded. “No cap” was more common anyway.
“Vibe check” feels millennial.
“Drip” is there but it also feels like it’s always ironic. Maybe it’s just the context of me being a teacher, but I feel like I’ve only heard it from students talking about my outfits/accessories - like, walking into a classroom “nice new drip Mr [X].”
The usage of "ghosted" as slang for "lied" is the only one I wasn't already aware of, but as a crotchety millennial I must sadly acknowledge that what I'm with isn't it anymore.
I think the meme writer just made a mistake with that. There's no urban dictionary definition for it that says anything other than "totally stopped communicating"
I think he was using it to mean "didn't communicate with you."
Very much so, but I think it's an overextension of the word.
I think they just really wanted to work it in due to the fact Obi Wan literally became a ghost.
Take it from an X-er, "it" comes back around again and you'll recognize it but it will be the "it" that should be left in the past like parachute pants.
As a middle aged millennial this is like a Rosetta stone for gen Z speak for me
"ME'SA be'sa you'sa pappy!"
"NOOOOOOOOOOO!"
"WAAAAAAAAAAACK!"
This made me chuckle quietly to myself. Well done, sir or madam.
Luke:
“💀”
"RIP me"
Thank you. I hate it.
Temu star trek
Reminds me of the Cockney bible.
Thank you for the brain bleed. Fr fr.
Skibidi 2b Luke rn.
Too brainrot; didn't read
Cervesa Cristal!!
This is certainly something
feels like mocking African American Vernacular English to me
There's nothing here I haven't heard from largely very white gen alpha kids from the uk apart from "some tea" which I don't recognise. I think the cultural appropriation already happened. Source: my daughters' classmates, more the boys than the girls.
Tea means gossip. It's queer slang that also broke out into the vocab of those white gen alpha kids
