    This politician eliminated pollution overnight! Other politicians hate him, see how he did it.

    I was so happy to see him return in TCW. Yeah he got overconfident in ANH, but he was such a great character and I always wanted to know more about him. You don’t get to be the only non-Sith in the top 3 of the Empire as an idiot.

    I read his novel but found it just okay.

      I found his characterization much better in the Thrawn series of books (the new ones, which are Canon, by Timothy Zahn). Well worth the read. Though the second book isn’t as strong as the first and third. It’s just too hard to write Vader from a first person perspective, he’s always best when viewed through the eyes of other characters.

        I’m actually trying to slog through the 2nd one right now and yeah, the story isn’t bad but all the internal monologue is slow going for sure.

          It’s excellent for making Thrawn come to life, it just conveys so much more than you could ever hope to achieve from dialogue or exposition. But I really do feel it’s pointless and slightly annoying when he does the monologue thing for the other characters. Thrawn is alien in so many ways, but everyone else is just… Not. They’re easy to understand motivational wise, they’re not strange or different in how they think and operate and their motivations and drive is fairly plain to see. Thankfully I listened to them and Mark Thompson really makes the characters come to life and that makes it work. Still Thrawn as a character is just so well written. Truly fit to join the likes of Hari Seldon, C. Auguste Dupin, Sherlock Holmes and Ender Wiggin as a masterfully crafted fictional genius.

    Surely the problem of employment is below him as a Grand Moff. Shouldn’t the planetary governors deal with it?

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

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:

  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.
