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.

Jehovah's witness fan art makes for such great memes.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 4 points 5 hours ago

I received a flyer for "Let's celebrate Jesus' death" this April. Terrible choice of words

[–] UncleArthur@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago (4 children)

So, what happens if you've survived a spouse and remarried? Do you have to choose who you want to spend eternity with?

What about adopted and surrogate kids: do they have to hang out with their biological parents now?

Heaven is such a ridiculous concept.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 1 points 43 minutes ago

Yes, you have to choose which eternity you want, though it doesn't necessarily have to be with either spouse.

[–] 5too@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Eternity? Marriage is only "til death do us part!"

[–] UncleArthur@lemmy.world 2 points 52 minutes ago

What if you bought your wife an eternity ring?

[–] jumjummy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

It’s always funny when they depict adults being reunited with their children. How come those adults aren’t depicted as children being reunited with THEIR parents.. and recursively so on and so on.

[–] ironycanal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 hours ago

There's an obvious answer; god decides. You asked that question which made him angry so you're going to hell now. Its how we know you're not one of the elect

Child mortality was high back then, eh?

Edit: just saw the Anakin after.

[–] MeowerMisfit817@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Can you explain the Anakin joke, then?

[–] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

It's exactly as it sounds. Anakin in Star Wars ended up going nuts and slaughtered an entire class of children training to be Jedi.

[–] MeowerMisfit817@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Wow. Uh... I don't know what I expected.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 hours ago

No, but i guess it has another meaning than what i initially thought.

[–] GiveOver@feddit.uk 24 points 13 hours ago (7 children)

What makes me sad about heaven is that there must be a cutoff in the monkey -> human evolution chain. What happened to the very first human that met that cutoff? They'll be in heaven but their parents are too monkey and didn't make it :(

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Or what if the apes did go to heaven? All of them? From all time. That's a lot of apes for the early humans to deal with.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 1 points 4 minutes ago

And it means that in the end we'll all have to face Harambe.

[–] thewebroach@lemmy.world 9 points 9 hours ago

I love this reflection. It kind of shines a spotlight on the fallibility of mainstream religions under rational thought. Could there be something after death? Sure. But the stories people are peddled arent based on any truth, it's just telling people what they want to hear to get them to join the club.

There's a people heaven, and a dog heaven, and a monkey heaven, a bird heaven, etc. Like, what? There's an estimated 8.7 million species on earth, you think there's a heaven for each of them? When evolution spins off something new or species cross breed, like a liger from a lion and tiger, does a new heaven just pop into existence?

Mainstream depictions of heaven are bunk.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago

If you believe evolution is real, you'll obviously never go to heaven, so you'll never find out.

Why are they in a fucking cemetery?! What the fuck is going on up there?

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 1 points 16 minutes ago

Sometimes you just need to be able to kill a mf in heaven.

And that happens a lot.

So cemetery.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 6 points 10 hours ago

Nietze was wrong, God is undead.

[–] FatVegan@leminal.space 2 points 10 hours ago

American needed another distraction for their pedo kings

Statistically, if there's an afterlife, there's billions of babies and fetuses in it.

[–] Omgpwnies@lemmy.world 1 points 27 minutes ago (1 children)

If there's an afterlife and we're counting the unborn, then it's swimming in an endless sea of sperm

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 1 points 15 minutes ago

an endless sea of sperm

Also if heaven(s?) are tailored to individual's liking.

[–] rozodru@piefed.world 61 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (6 children)

I'm more concerned about the tombstones shown in the panting in heaven. like what happened to THOSE people? are they Super Dead?

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 1 points 12 minutes ago

If I don't want afterlife I can just stay dead??

Maybe they ask you to accept terms at the beginning & if you refuse they just let you have your peace, one life was enough.

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 2 points 7 hours ago

They are dildos, for the giants.

[–] MeowerMisfit817@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

If I'm not mistaken, Buddhism had a being that was the ghost of a ghost. Yes, ghosts could die. Probably that's the case.

[–] CeeBee_Eh@lemmy.world 23 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

This picture is from a Jehovah's Witness publication. This isn't a depiction of heaven, but rather a future paradise earth. And the picture depicts various people being redirected back to life.

[–] TheEighthDoctor@lemmy.zip 6 points 12 hours ago

I saw this picture and it immediately gave me flashbacks to JW flyers
