Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

Separatist systems:
Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):

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.

I have a friend that grew up reading the Wheel of Time series. He talked it up a lot. I got through the first two books and couldn't keep going. He said, "It gets really good at the end of book three. Book four is amazing. Books five, six, and seven are only okay. There's a couple more that are really good, but the last book falls flat."
And I realized that's probably how people that never watched Star Wars experience it after we recommend the movies to them. "This one specific movie is amazing, and those two are pretty okay. That one was good in its time and I like it for nostalgia. We didn't talk about how the movie series ended. Want to watch the cartoons?"
I'm reading through The Wheel of Time for the second time right now and my experience has been different. It's crazy how the tone changes from the first book to the last, and the amount of character development that occurs. I think each book is been better than the last, and each for different reasons.
I just couldn't get through it. But to each his own, I had a good friend who refused to read Pratchett's Thief of Time because "books need chapters" lol
Yeah for sure, it's not for everyone, and getting through the whole series is borderline a chore lol.
That's just how almost everything goes, isn't it? Simpsons, Walking Dead, Dune, Game of Thrones, etc.
Endings are hard, and most things have an unsatisfying ending or go on for too long because they keep making it as long as it makes money.
