Star Wars - A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far, away...

We want to remind everyone about the above rule in the sidebar.

"No memes or image macros"

When we made this decision we also created a whole separate subreddit for them at /r/starwarsmemes. This also helped other communities flourish like /r/PrequelMemes , r/OTMemes and r/SequelMemes.

There are plenty of places you can post memes and image macros on reddit, just not here. In the comments, replying to others, that is one thing. Just not as submissions. Posting them will result in a timeout from the sub.

Examples, because we love examples:

• This is a image macro - Its just text overlaid on a graphic, trying to make a joke, or observation, etc.

• This is a meme - the Pam comparison format is widespread meme throughout the internet.

• Not a meme - its unique enough, its more of a homage, and it actually took some creative effort.

Ultimately we will make the judgement call if something is borderline. We have also started temp bans for meme postings, repeated postings of this sort by the same user accounts will see their time outs ramp up a bit.

We don't hate memes here, heck, even we use them in the comments in sometime. But we also want to promote a higher level of content, discussion and interaction. So we appreciate your cooperation in this effort.

If you see them, report them, and help us out. You all have been fantastic in recent months helping with our civility guidelines and our spoiler policy, so please keep up the great efforts and MTFBWY.

I get that Serkis is the go to guy for CGI characters but anyone could have played Snoke, he’s just an old decrepit guy in a chair. When you look at the work he puts into characters like Gollum and Caesar in terms of expressing emotion and physical movements it’s just a waste of his talent.

They might have as well just did what they did in Andor and give him a human role instead. He could have done a great job as a character like Hux.

In AotC we see Yoda fighting Dooku. When the latter realizes he can't beat his former master he makes a support pillar of the hangar they're in fall. This forces Yoda to catch the pillar so it doesn't squash Obi-Wan and Anakin who are incapacitated and cannot move out of the way on their own. Dooku thus has enough time to escape. But he really shouldn't. Yoda only has to make sure the pillar doesn't fall directly on Anakin and Obi-Wan. Why does he catch it and put it down so carefully when he could just push it away and go back to fighting Dooku?

This isn't the only part of this scene that bothers me. At the beginning of their fight Dooku throws stuff at Yoda and he catches it. Compared to the senate pods we see Yoda and Palpatine throw around almost effortlessly in RotS these objects seem to be more challenging for Yoda even though they're smaller.

I know the obvious answer is the plot needed Dooku to escape so Yoda needed to somehow be distracted. I get that. Th plot dictates what happens but it should still make sense in-universe.

I was interested in seeing more of Luke in the era around the time of "The Mandalorian" and "Ahsoka". I think they did a good job de-aging him in "Book of Boba Fett", but that's rather expensive, doing an animated series might be easier. This would also allow them to bring back Leia without any controversy.

The simplest premise would simply be Luke seeking out new Force users to become Padawans. Some might argue that it's a bit of a downer given what happens later but that wasn't a problem for "Clone Wars".

Besides introducing some new prospective Jedi, we could occasionally see Leia, Han, Lando, Wedge, Ahsoka, Hera, and other familiar faces, as well as the occasional force ghost appearance of Obi-Wan, Yoda, Anakin, and even Qui-Gon (how cool would it be for Luke to finally interact with Qui-Gon on-screen, huh?). Perhaps even people like Mando, Carson Teva, or Boba Fett.

In terms of an antagonist, this would be a good way to bring back the character of Baylan Skoll, even though the actor has passed. In terms of other enemies for Luke and Jedi, how about importing someone like Exar Kun or Joruus C'Baoth from Legends, hmmm? Alternatively, you could do more of a spiritual adaptation of a character like Joruus by introducing an evil clone of some Jedi we're already familiar with, like say Mace Windu. (That's not actually a huge leap. Timothy Zhan only created Joruus after his original plan of a mad clone of Obi-Wan was vetoed).

What do you think?

I can see the appeal of having a master that can show you the dark side ways. But with the statistics of murder by apprentice as high as they are, why would anyone take an apprentice? Is that a vanity thing? Like having a kid as a way to somehow continue your lineage?

Obviously Palpatine, Plagueis and Tyranus laid the groundwork and executed Order 66. I can't imagine the combined planning for that spanned any longer than 50 or so years, so what were the Sith doing for the other 950 years post-Bane?

I know the rule of two limited them and they preferred to stay hidden but it baffles me that the Sith could decimate the Jedi with just a little planning and yet they let a millennia go past without really even attempting to accomplish their goal.

We have some very powerful Sith as Sidious or Vitiate in Legends, but what would happen if some regular force user or even with low midichlorians count dedicated fully to the dark side?

How can this individual become more powerful and to what point? Could he/she become as powerful as Sidious for example?

What is the limit?

Just a random thought after reading a fanfiction where it was going over the Boonta Eve Classic. I started thinking about how Pod-racing probably has its own die hard fans just like IRL sports. And Anakin's race during the Phantom Menace was the upset of the century. Not only was it was Ani's first ever official race, it was also stated that he was the youngest and a human. That would have been a big thing in the Pod-race fan community if there ever was one.

So I remembered stories of crazy fans following their favorites to the ends of the earth to get an autograph. Following that thread, I wondered if Anakin ever had a crazy fan come up to him for an autograph? It would completely depend on which point in time they approach him. During his early years in the Jedi would be the most likely.

BUT! Could you imagine a crazy pod-race fan tracking Anakin all the way until he becomes Darth Vader. Could you imagine the awkward confusion with the stormtroopers if some random alien comes up to THE LORD DARTH VADER, right hand of the emperor and asks him for an autograph about his crazy pod-racing days.

50/50 on if the fan gets force choked or not.

When Vader and his squad attacked Gold squadron or Red Leaders trench run from behind why didnt other Red Squadron members do the exact same thing to them and come up from behind Vaders squad in the trench and take them down?

Just a random thought, I haven't seen the films in ages. I don't know if this is a commonly accepted idea or if there is some sort of deep lore or long explanation, but I bet you guys will tell me.

Nothing inappropriate btw

When Obi Wan said that to Padme after asking if Anakin was the father, I got chills down my spine like damn, this is it. It had a sense of finality to it that sort of made everything come together. What are moments in any point of Star Wars that made you feel that way? Like everything was coming together, whether the movie/show/whatever was over or not?
