Yes, Jizz.
Well… Star Wars does have a character named Sleazebaggano… So…
Sometimes, late at night, the Jizz band starts playing more schmaltzy. Schmaltzy Jizz.
Ew.
I refuse to apologize.
I’m something of a jizz-wailer myself…
-Riker, probably
Star Wars Jizzed right into my ear…
This isn’t as funny since Disney renamed it to Jatz
Damn Disney and their cultural appropriation…
That’s our word!
When i saw that i was just hoping so hard that Jatz becomes slang for ass to mouth sex or something.
Be the change you want to see.
Hey have you heard of Jatz?
Someone in an Æon Flux shirt.
I wouldn’t even talk to them, they’ll probably answer in non-sequiturs and then run away giggling and twirling.
Depends. Are they wearing an Empire shirt or a Rebellion shirt?
If your interstellar society has slavery, I’m not interested. Didn’t the Jedi free Luke and just leave his mom in captivity?
Way too many Star Wars fans like the Empire for my taste. (And the rebels aren’t much better, if they’re better at all.)
Unfortunately the last few pieces of SW media I saw the only interesting characters were imperials.
That was Anakin Not his son Luke. And Qui-gon tried to free Shmi as well but Watto was too resilient.
And when Qui-gon realized he couldn’t cheat hard enough for both slaves, he just… didn’t try to get the funds together? Come up with some other sort of trade?
To be fair he died in a war like 5 minutes later
One preaches hope for a better future
One preaches a never ending cycle of ambition, corruption, and cruelty.
Who would have ever thought time would prove Star Wars more thematically realistic 😂
Star Wars was based on the past but set in the future. They borrowed “stormtroopers” from Hitler. The space battles are just like WWII dogfights. Star Wars was never looking forward it was looking backwards.
With that logic, Star Trek is the same.
It is based upon submarine life. Even going as far as using the boatswain whistle and radar sounds at the controls.
One of my favorite fun facts: “Balance of Terror” was the original Star Trek episode to introduce Romulans, and the first to feature space combat against a near peer adversary.
The screenplay for that episode actually was for a submarine movie, and it got readapted.
You’re talking about the organization of the ships crew, they’re taking about overarching styles and themes.
Yeah but we need more submarine movies. If I have to pretend, I’ll pretend.
The audacity of people, he wants a submarine movie to Boot.
I’d love to see Disney try out a sort of anthology of short seasons that all share thematic elements of WW2 that made the OT such a spectacle, but do like 4-8 episodes about a given person/squad/ship/squadron/station/agent/whatever…tell one good solid story about that subject then move on.
I’d love for one of those seasons to follow a light capital ship with 1-2 squadrons of fighters, and model it with elements of the carrier war in the Pacific mixed with a submarine movie theme.
Have them playing a deadly game of cat and mouse with a much larger ISD or Victory, both stuck in a nebula. They both get their hits in that cause grave damage, but both crews hang in there and stick to the mission.
How it ends is anyone’s guess, but I could absolutely see plenty of room in that framework for intense scenes of sensors crews glued to their stations, hoping to go unnoticed, or desperately searching for any sign of their foe…
Total stranger in a Stargate T shirt. They probably have way more firepower, and enough C4 to solve all my problems.
I’ve been watching star trek (TNG, DS9, Voyager) and still don’t get the red shirt reference. I know it’s about them getting killed all the time but I just don’t see it.
Its a TOS thing. They swapped the red and yellow colours for the following series.
D’oh, just saw that this was already said. I should read more.
They swapped the red and gold job responsibilities between TOS and TNG. In 90s trek, it’s the gold shirts dying most often
In TOS, there were more characters in red shirts than any other color. So of course most deaths were characters wearing a red shirt. Proportionally, I believe it was actually yellow with the highest mortality rate.
The meme is from TOS. Not as many people died in the newer ones.
A simple pie chart reveals 55 total deaths and, yes, red shirts perished in frightening numbers. A whopping 24 died, compared to 9 in yellow/gold command and 7 in blue, with 15 crossing into the final frontier in unidentified colors

Cause you didn’t watch the series the meme is made upon (TES)
The edgy series? The excellent series? The ecstatic series? The evil series? The Elvin series? The e-coli series? The epinephrine series?
:p
I had to.
Well done, well deserved
It’s a running gag more than anything. The idea is Kirk, Spock, McCoy and Ensign Smith in a red shirt beam down to the dangerous planet. Who dies?
Obviously the one who is not one of the lead actors, whose character usually doesn’t have a name, no lines, never appeared, and is from security and tasked to protect the captain and jump first in combat is going to survive.
Ensign Smith:
Especially this one:
I just applied for my UK passport and the photo I gave to them was me in a red T-shirt with the TOS delta on it. I’m guessing the delta will be cropped out, but here’s hoping.
Stranger in a Farscape shirt: knows how to party… possible cast or crew member.
I never pass up a chance, no matter how small, to get my hands on a dose of translator microbes.
did they even bother making farscape shirts when any bdsm attire would work?
Bdsm under a Hawaiian shirt
Might be a Muppet.
stargate shirt
I’d suspect you of having a snake in your belly.
eyes briefly flash white in acknowledgement
StarTrek all the way, actual REAL peaceful space communists or religious Knights with magic powers? That’s not a hard choice
Space explorers … or … authoritarian space soldiers fighting religious space fanatics
Everyone thinks I’m super into star wars cause I enjoy building Lego space ships and star wars is the option in that regard. Mind you I’ve just noticed a Chinese brick company have dropped a giant Enterprise and there’s a Rocinante on the way too!
Link please
I’ve ordered from both sites and they are trustworthy FWIW. If you’re not familiar with Chinese brick companies GoBricks are the gold standard, Jie Star are pretty good too IMO. Most of the brands don’t make their own bricks, anyone that uses GoBricks or Jie Star are typically okay in terms of brick quality.
If I’m honest in maybe 20-30 sets I’ve had one “poor” quality set of bricks and it was a £12 knock off of an X-Wing that I only bought because it was cheap, even then it was fine for the price.
Does it come with a LEGO man polycule???
Alas, I don’t believe so, though a few of the retailers have an awesome selection of third party minifigs, so maybe it could be done 🤷
