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 also the plot in a couple of legends and canon books too.
People like to bash the palpatine coming back, but it’s actually a well thought out storyline in the books. A lot of stuff gets lost between the books and the movies though, the whole episode 3 book has a totally different feel than the movie. A whole arc is missing about why he’s so mad to not get the rank of master.
Palpatine was telling Anakin the Jedi masters had the secret to eternal life and it would save padme.
We're talking about the two halves of Maul being lovers, right?
Right?
Hrmm I don’t think I’ve gotten to that story yet. But anything is possible.
You won't hear those stories from a Jedi. You need to go to fanfiction.net and learn the ways of the Sith
That sounds more like an archiveofourown.org plot, personally.
People bash Palpatine coming back because it was not well thought out in the movies. They could have set it up easily in the PT what with all the allusions to the Force being able to be used to influence life and death. Then you have two movies in ST to play with before a big reveal in the final film. But unfortunately all the trilogies were too disconnected from each other, with the ST being too disconnected within itself.
Palpatine being back wasn't even revealed first in the movies, it was revealed in a Fortnite event of all places. Absolutely crazy choice of marketing.
How is surprising? When a Star Wars movie comes out, everything you can think of is branded Star Wars. Yogurts, tooth paste, probably tampons somewhere.
They made money of Fortnite
People want action, and there was enough politics too, adding in “plot armor” force transfer would be too much talking and not enough slicing.
I get why it’s not there, most of the information IS there, just not spelled out, it’s even scrambled if you would.
