    That can’t be the Emperor because this is the Emperor:

      That’s all just snoke and mirrors.

      Edit: I’m leaving that typo because it’s funny, and would make for a great Star Wars character name, like Greedo.

          Darth Vader was actually originally a separate character from Anakin, and his name was just “Darth Vader”. That’s why Obi-Wan addresses him as “Darth”, whereas after that it’s a title, not a name, as Lucas retconned a bit to have a grand plan.

          So when he was named Vader, he wasn’t even Luke’s father, so…

            No one working on the first movie was even sure it would do well. Lucas may have had some plans in his mind for a bigger story, but at the time he was trying to get the initial movie made. I don’t even know if there’s evidence he had a huge franchise planned out with all the plots, but of course he’d claim he did once it took off.

              Yeah.

              Reminded me of: George Lucas is a timetraveler and I wrote Star Wars

          German

          Very close, alas no cookie. In German, that would be “Vater”. However, “Vader” exists with that meaning in Dutch.

            As the other comments will tell you, I’m mistaken on the language

      Yup, I remember one guy replied to me once on a forum adamant that Palpatine wasn’t going to become the Emperor. It stick in my mind because it was so much “WHAT?” How do you not… WHAT?

    Seems a bit far-fetched.

    I mean Palpatine is a well-respected politician. Their kind wouldn’t lie. He has said himself that his side are the good guys, what more proof do you want?

    When I first watched RotS I thought that Sidious was only disguised as Palpatine (as in kill-and-replace) and the electrocution had just destroyed the disguise.

      At what point did you think he was replaced?

      I always thought the Clone Wars should’ve involved people getting replaced by cloned versions of them or something like that. But nope, the clones were just storm troopers. Oh well…

        With how wars are named, the Clone Wars should have been the Republic fighting clone armies, not droids.

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

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.
