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.

See how that ended up for Jabba.

I don't think the Rebel Alliance as a whole was going to cause too much fuss over Han. Maybe they would have over Leia, but Jabba didn't have balls for no reason. The Hutts were an extremely powerful faction in that region of space, maybe even moreso than the Alliance.

But Luke wanted his friend back. And told him straight up "this is the last mistake you'll ever make."

To quote another great movie: "Don't fuck with a Jedi master, son."

I need to rewatch The Men Who Stare at Goats.

[–] CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world 13 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

That quote is from Jay and Silent Bob Strikes back

Oh. Despite being from NJ, I'm not a huge fan of the View Askewniverse. Basically just Mallrats and Dogma.

How dare you sir!

(Jk - it’s a hilarious scene, that line is actually delivered by mark hamill

Ben Quadrinaros had balls made of vibranium to enter a pod race tournament with Anakin Skywalker as his opponent.

Twice.

Which one was he? The dude whose shit immediately blew up on the starting line?

[–] RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 22 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah because someone (not Sebulba) tried to sabotage Anakin's pod racer and picked his instead. But only a real legend could get mixed up with Skywalker like that.

Thats like being on a basketball team and someone confuses your locker with Michael Jordan's locker.

Love that analogy

[–] houndeyes@toast.ooo 4 points 23 hours ago

I think that was the one that looked like Humpty Dumpty.

[–] FartMaster69@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 23 hours ago

That’s why Ben Quadrinaros is the GOAT.

Jabba could never reach his level.

[–] FrChazzz@lemmus.org 8 points 23 hours ago (4 children)

Who did he casually enslave? Han was frozen (not at Jabba's command and only as a test-bed for trying the technique on Luke). Lando snuck in there. Is OP talking about Threepio?

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 1 points 9 hours ago

Leia, when impersonating Boushh.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 10 points 19 hours ago

Han was frozen by Boba Fett for Jabba's bounty. It's even more of a flex that Jabba took Han from Vader and the Empire (who no doubt wanted him for the Battle of Yavin).

Imagine if El Chapo or some other cartel boss put a bounty on Sully Sullenberger and the US government captured him and handed him over. Sure would look a lot like Jabba controlling the Empire. Or at least being important enough for Vader to be the errand boy.

Only one character could be so influential that was enslaved as the non-sex slave character:

R2-D2.

R2 was working on the barge when it launched Luke's lightsaber to him.

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 4 points 23 hours ago

Yeah I was trying to figure that out too.

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

Also a princess.
