That’s not an uncomfortable position for the wrist. It’s very similar to many standard forward arm positions in traditional chinese martial arts. Idk why the two fingers though… Still a funny meme.

You see Obi-Wan

When you hold saber like me

You shall not strike the innacurate

Over fear of cutting face

and honestly, as someone who has done stick and weapon fighting, you 1000% accidentally bop yourself in the head from time to time. With blades you tend to be a lot more careful and the way you hold it can make it difficult for those bops to be dangerous, but a lightsaber is basically a sword that’s all blade.

Isn’t this one of the reasons the force is practically required to use a lightsaber? Just so you have perfect control at all times and do not cut yourself in two.

I suppose grievous is an exception, though an argument can be made that him being mostly mechanical allows him to not kill himself.

An argument can be made that Grievous is a farce.

Do we know if Grievous had force sensitivity at all? Transplanted Jedi blood or horrendous insanity-inducing technology? Or is the robot body just a good enough mix of precise and expendable?

A lightsaber’s blade is also lighter than a real blade, which would help mitigate the risk. Though I could see boppin oneself in the face remaining a problem in this stance.

I always thought it was an unspoken game of stick, paper, scissors to see who gets to attack first

I’m now curious to know where you’re from, if you’re willing to share. I’ve always known the game as rock, paper, scissors. I’m in the UK, and it seems like the rest of the Anglosphere uses the same three options but sometimes in a different order, like scissors, paper, rock or something. What’s the gesture you make for “stick”?

Also, how does a stick break scissors?

I like to think it’s just the same logic as that old stick vs 1,000 US marines post. Scissors cut the stick in half? Now you have two sticks. Stick always wins.

Anyway it’s not like paper beats rock has a whole lot of reasoning behind it

Eventually. But only if they’re really shoddily made scissors.

I always imagined the rock makes the scissors blunt. That would work for a stick too.

I heard that V was a representation of an open palm with 5 fingers. And X is two palms

Star Wars Memes

!starwarsmemes@lemmy.world

Create post

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:

  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.
