Feeling proud of all the former reddit prequelmemers and sequelmemers putting aside differences and joining this community together
Somehow Star Wars Memes returned.
It's crazy that this is one of the top new communities to make the jump here
I hate the sequels but I'll allow it for the survival of the Jedi.
Honestly PrequelMemes is the largest subreddit I'd likely miss the most from Reddit. That and lotrmemes. It's good to see it's found a home here already!

TIL people actually quote the sequels. The PT was a hot mess with tons of issues but at least they are infinitely memeworthy; ST is just so incredibly forgettable and unmemorable..
forgettable and unmemorable
Not true, I distinctly remember my hatred of the entire plot and progression of The Last Jedi and the ending of Rise of Skywalker.
The rest of it I don't know anything about but that's more likely because I've only seen each one once and never subbed to r/sequelmemes and have only played The Complete Saga LEGO Star Wars games.

Differences?
Did you guys really have some kind of rivalry over meming?
You've taken your first step into a larger world.
Mostly in jest, but there were some pretty epic battles.
Who needs memes when you have this:

Maybe I can help you bond by saying that I think it was actually the Star Trek memes that was first.
Star Trek even has their own instance
Honestly prequel memes started going to hell anyway. Everyone treated people who liked new stuff the same way prequel lovers were treated at their release. Simultaneously they were becoming blind to the issues with the prequels and unironically thinking they were perfect.
That's because it was prequel memes not sequel memes, and most people hate them because they're soulless Disney "content firehouse" cash grabs that render the OT moot as they retread it while simultaneously doing it worse.
The fan base wanted the prequels ever since the words "clone wars" crossed the lips of Alec Guinness. No one asked for the sequels because there was no untold story worth telling. Which is why they resorted to undoing everything Luke fought for so they could hamfistedly fuck it all away. Just slather it up in enough CGI and "fan service" (aka too lazy to write a plot, LOOK THE MILLENNIUM FALCON!) to make the Marvel generation cream their pants.
No one will look back fondly in 20 years on the sequels because 1. They're narratively destitute, the only thing they do well is look good, which cannot stand the test of time. 2. Disney pushes out content so quickly that they don't build things to last, they build them to keep you occupied until the next dose of content. This leads back to point 1.
This is the rebel alliance, after all.
