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):
!starwarstelevision@lemmy.world

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.

Then this is exactly the kind of conversation-ending, inane, useless statement I'm talking about. You're not actually saying anything; the only possible responses are agreement (in which case, nothing has been gained) or disagreement (in which case, no one's mind will be changed). It's the most boring, the most tiring way to have an online discussion. Stating your opinion as an opinion, with a reasoning, is so much more interesting and productive.
I'm not interested in a discussion, this topic was already discussed enough and you can read the obvious results everywhere online.
The general consensus is that Episode 7 was a soulless remake of Episode 4 and would be fine by itself if it weren't for Episode 8 and 9, which managed to even turn Episode 7 to an irrelevant piece of media.
And yet the prequel trilogy, after almost two decades, is being reevaluated and reconsidered. Conversations never end. Things are examined in a new light and different pieces are focused upon. If the conversation about Star Wars was forced to end after one poorly-received decision, the whole franchise would've ended with the Special Edition.
No, that was the groupthink. There's no consensus reasoning for those conclusions, which means it was just the "Orthodox Online Opinion." I prefer to think for myself.
No they were not re-evaluated - a few years ago some trolls on the internet sarcastically praised them and then some daft idiots didn't get the joke and thought they were serious.
"everyone I don't agree with is a troll"
or maybe the opinion you thought was so ridiculous that nobody would ever seriously hold it isn't as ridiculous as you thought and you need to get some perspective
