She's rich, so she knows that things are different for Anakin. Several genocides more later, and turns out she was right, he gets completely absolved and becomes a force ghost as a younger version of himself to boot. Something something dark side affluenza. The force is basically just another dimension to wealth inequality.

[-] Pman@lemmy.org 3 points 5 hours ago

He did at least 2 genocides in the movies before the OT, where he destroyed a planet with tarkin, but didn't he do some genocidal things in the clone wars shows too?

[-] GreenShimada@lemmy.world 1 points 20 minutes ago

Well, but those would be genocides against Clankers....so it undoes one of the earlier genocides.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 59 points 12 hours ago

We are censoring genocide now?

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 11 points 8 hours ago

Maybe it's to avoid getting buried in the algorithm on mainstream apps that avoid that word. It's likely just a copy paste from one of those.

[-] phcorcoran@piefed.social 35 points 11 hours ago

Is it censorship to have mcdonalds sponsor your genocide?

[-] markz@suppo.fi 12 points 11 hours ago

I can't tell if it's censorship or meme spelling

[-] Encephalotrocity@feddit.online 10 points 12 hours ago

I know I am. So sick of the overuse and devaluation of the word here.

[-] Grimy@lemmy.world 26 points 11 hours ago

Which genocide shouldn't be called a genocide? Come on, say it.

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 4 points 5 hours ago

I'm not defending them, but arguably neither of the two in Star Wars being referenced here should be called that. Maybe the jedi one is, if we consider them a religious group and not a political one (debatable at the point of the attack), because it was a widespread extermination of them. The sand people one was just a mass murder though. There wasn't a systemic extermination of the people, only a large retribution killing of a single group.

Still though, they're close enough that we all know what it's talking about. It's fine.

[-] Sharkticon@lemmy.zip 29 points 11 hours ago

Seems like a cowardly way of saying you want to ignore all the increasing number of genocides happening in the world.

[-] Encephalotrocity@feddit.online 6 points 11 hours ago

That's one interpretation.

[-] jaennaet@sopuli.xyz 13 points 6 hours ago

Well, considering that you're refusing to provide any other interpretation, it's the most probable one.

Come on now, what do people here call a genocide that you think shouldn't be called a genocide?

[-] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 13 points 10 hours ago

Can you give us an example of things you don’t like being referred to as “genocide”?

[-] markz@suppo.fi 11 points 11 hours ago

But c*nsored usage is still usage. Everybody can see the word.

[-] backalleycoyote@lemmy.today 2 points 6 hours ago

Yoda: “Know of second genocide, she does not.”

[-] theuniqueone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 11 hours ago

After she dismissed him murdering what was certainly over a dozen children as "everyone is human" i dismissed her as any moral authority on anything,

[-] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 7 points 8 hours ago

Remember, the only Sith who is also a human supremacist was from Naboo.

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 22 points 12 hours ago

do we even have a full count of all the genocides?

Was Vader involved in the genosian genocide, too?

[-] Dagnet@lemmy.world 9 points 12 hours ago

Are we counting the genocides during the clone wars?

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

Like the poisoning of Honoghr?

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 8 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

Sure. Edit: the geonosians were genocided after the clone wars when they were used to start construction on the Death Star and genocided to hide it by the empire.

[-] zurohki@aussie.zone 3 points 7 hours ago

Bet that made it hard to go back to the builder and order a second one.

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

I will never understand why the empire didn’t use captured b1 units as droid labor.

Yes, they’re totally incompetent. But it’s either incompetence or intentional sabotage.

[-] Dagnet@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

Oh, Im not saying that shouldnt be counted just saying Anakin committed a ton of war crimes during the clone wars, you did ask for the full count of genocides afterall

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

I get that, I was just adding context for people who haven't seen Rebels. (if anyone hasn't seen rebels... you should.)

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

I imagine one is the sand-people tribe, that is arguably ok, and the other is the younglings murder that is a serious misuse of that word.

[-] bamboo 4 points 6 hours ago

well the younglings murder was a genocide of the Jedi people. The rampage on the sandpeople tribe was murderous revenge

[-] yetAnotherUser@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 hour ago

I don't think that's a genocide though.

Mostly because in the Star Wars universe you can't really wipe out either the Jedi or the Sith. Both try to wipe the other out but haven't succeedes whatsoever because they are extremely basic religious/philosophical positions: "The force exists to do 'good' (whatever 'good' is)" vs. "The force exists to make me strong". Jedi are Jedi and Sith are Sith only because of those values plus some beaurocracy.

Compare that to human religions where they first construct an extremely elaborate setting with a shitton of incorporated fanfiction to argue why they and only they are right and all others are wrong. That's so much more complex, you'd have to stop believing in a billion different things if you were to switch religions.

Tl;dr: It's not genocide if I were to kill all philosophy students at my university because in my point of view their views are evil.

Police say School Shooter had a History of School Shootings

[-] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 12 hours ago

Do we have conclusive evidence for his intend?

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.
