My main question is why there was an empty space there with the capability to eject something in that spot to begin with.

It makes a little more sense when you consider R2 was heavily modified by Anakin, who also had lightsaber needs.

“Lightsaber needs” is also what Jedi call being horny.

It’s the real reason the Old Republic era jedi used vibration lenses.

Anakin: When I got to them we got into aggressive negotiations.

Padme: Aggressive negotiations? What’s that?

Anakin: Ah, well, it’s negotiations with a lightsaber.

So Anakin lobotomised R2 to make room for lightsaber pocket?

He excised the “dorky little bitch” circuits. Win-win

It was probably intended for some other purpose that wouldn’t have worked if R2 needed it then. Most mechanisms CAN launch something.

His OG purpose was as a mechanic. he fixes stuff. he’s gotta keep some spare parts somewhere, right? presumably he carries a supply of nuts, bolts, rivets, etc, as well as maybe some spooled wiring, and stuff. possibly also space tape.

the kind of stuff you’d generally keep in shop because everything you do uses them.

In any case, the question I’ve always had is… he’s a starship mechanic. a pretty skilled starship mechanic. But they decide “hey, make him serve drinks on the barge!” … what would he have done if they didn’t assign him to the barge?

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.
