The first thing that appears on screen is "a long time ago, in a galaxy far away".

Yes, but light can only travel so fast, so we weren’t able to take this picture until millions of years later - in 1980. It’s all relative.

A galaxy that just happens to be populated with humans who speak English. What were the odds?

Please allow me to geek out for a short minute...

The correct time frame is 3 ABY (After Battle of Yavin, the events in the original Star Wars). I am sure the meme was just using the original release date of the movie The Empire Strikes Back in which the battle on Hoth took place.

You might have known all this, but I wanted something to do while I was waking up and drinking my coffee

Im pretty sure the Empire does not use BBY/ABY though, considering they lost that particular battle.

Edit: From another comment below, the Empire seems to use BFE/AFE (before/after Formation of the Empire), although wookiepedia mentions that this was invented in 2017.

If it was added after 2014, it doesn't count.

Yeah I don't think there is a direct event that points out to the people that the government had been using events to grasp more power and dissolve power from senate, as it had been done prior to start of the serieis. One could argue this was clearly shown in the prequels. The prequels show over reach, false flag attempts, the assassination attempt, and use of order 66 to claim the Jedi order was the enemy and he needed wartime powers. Just so happened to fall around the time the Patriot Act was being signed in by Bush after 9/11.

Clearly you meant 3 ABY 22 AFE and not 1980.

The Empire had pretty shitty low-rez cameras. No wonder they lost!

@lemmy.world

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:

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.
