It’s not equality, her outfit doesn’t have pockets.
What're you talking about? This is totally accurate. Han always wore a crop top!
Look, it's in space. It was long, long ago in a galaxy far away. You just can't see the pockets, they're space pockets, much cooler than regular pockets.
I think there's something in the princes bride and the time period being after the invention of jeans but before the invention of pockets
I mean, nor does his. It's more equal than the original in this sense.
In the future, you don’t need pockets. You cram your credit token under your ballsack.
Here's an idea: what if they were both slutty?

Asses to asses, butts to butts
Truly, a requiem for a dreamer.
Now you're onto something!
You know? That is not bad at all. Not bad at all. Why not? Why not the parallel universe version? Maybe they could use the chance to fix the dumpster fire the prequels were as well and perhaps even go along with Darth Jar-Jar.
My (new) hope is that in the parallel universe version they didn't do the special edition re-releases and kept in the original Mos Eisley Cantina scene.
Remember friends, Hana shot first!
Han shot only. Greedo never got a shot off, Han straight up ended him in cold blood.
Lest we forget, Greedo pointed a gun at him first, Han literally defended himself from a threat of lethal force. Jabba wanted Han dead or alive, and Greedo makes it clear he'd look forward to shooting.
It's part of why the edit is so galling, honestly, it was already justified.
Isn't there a team doing an effort to "remaster" the originals and remove all the added digital garbage?
Darth Jar Jar. Big missed opportunity.
"But the audiences, the opinion panels, the surveys"
It was a Starwars movie, it was a guaranteed success at the box. The viewers can handle a little disappointment for a better story.
I could handle a non sensical character for a long stretch if at the peak of my rage that character became a such pivotal one, with a twist so unexpected and deep applied to it, it forced me to go back and review the entire story with new eyes.

Why is crop top Han at Oktoberfest?
Thomas Hayden Church that's some midriff.
We already got here
He should have to wear the bra, too
Either way works for me. I just want to see more of that loin cloth
Pasties!
Hot. Do more.
I am interested in this story.
I'm not sure whether whoever made this is aware that the skimpy outfit wasn't something Leia chose to wear, this was. Now I don't mind canon-bending Jabba the Hutt into being gay or bi but "equality is when slave outfit" nah I'll pass.
In the movie universe it was a creepy evil guy who made her wear the slave outfit, and doesn't make sense to get mad at a fictional character. In real life the people making the movie decide what outfits people wear, and we're allowed to have opinions about that.
If we carry this to the meta level: The same people also decided that Leia kills Jabba in that very outfit and generally break a ton of damsel in distress tropes. Now you could say "But Ellen Ripley is just as if not even more badass, why not do that", well, then you wouldn't be messaging that getting demeaned by your captors doesn't change anything about your capacity to badass, that the outfit, or Jabba's general grossness, does not need to have power over your mind, just as horror doesn't have power over Ripley's mind. And you can't just turn Star Wars into body horror so it has to have different hero characteristics.
I see nothing wrong with that message.
The same thing gender-swapped, though? Wouldn't have the same impact as men typically get sexualised differently. It's certainly been done in a sense, though, e.g. in Pulp Fiction.
You're overthinking it. I don't generally have a problem with the plot of the movie or even these scenes, but I don't think Leia specifically in a bikini outfit is a commentary on how we can overcome sexual stereotyping. It's because people like seeing a sexy lady, including George Lucas.
Didn't Carrie Fisher say in an interview that Lucas said she couldn't wear a bra because they don't have bras in space?
Also think about that scene in the prequels where they're captive in the bug stadium and Natalie Portman is showing a lot of skin I guess because one of the monsters ripped her clothes. Why not make Anakin shirtless?
10/10 would shoot first.
Go on...

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:
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.
