== Rules ==
Rule 	Description
Spoiler Policy Violation 	Spoiler protections below are valid for 14 days after any new media releases. Bans will be handed out for any break in this policy. Keep discussions contained to the stickied discussion threads. Any comments and images outside of them must be spoiler flaired or use the spoiler tag. More information is available at https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWars/wiki/spoilerpolicy/
Respect Fellow Redditors 	Arguments are fine, disliking things is fine. That said, there are things that will not be tolerated. Any racial or gender slurs, swears directed at other users, accusations of trolling or shilling, sarcastic insults (you're cute/grow up), or excessive swearing in general will be met with a warning and/or a removal of post. Be polite, and treat others as you would have them treat you. This means no trolling and no flamebait either.
Reposting Content 	Reposts include different articles about the same story, as well as unique images of the same merchandise (t-shirts, action figures, etc.). A news video about a recent event and that provides no new information will be considered a repost and removed. Gifs and screengrabs of recently released videos will also be considered reposts. Slightly altered recently posted images will also be deleted at mod discretion as will Order 66 receipts, OT VHS tapes. cloud formations, stick figure families and license plates. There is no grace period: a repost is a repost, no matter how old.
Blogspam or Self-Promotion 	Any links to blogs or news sites that add little to no original content to a story, video, or any other news will be considered spam. Link to the original source, or it may be removed. This will especially be enforced if the page features prominent/intrusive ads. Please disable AdBlock before submitting links to ensure that they're not full of ads. Many users don't have AdBlock installed. 
Additionally, do not post stuff you made yourself with the intent of promoting your youtube/twitch/etsy/onlyfans etc. Fan art and content is encouraged, but if you largely just post content from your personal pages it will be considered self-promotion and removed. If you post here attempting to monetize via the comments or links in your profile, your content will likely be removed and you will probably get banned.
NSFW or Adult Content 	If you'll have to tag it, do not post it. This includes pornographic and intentionally erotic images or videos, links to websites with pornographic advertisements, links to articles or videos containing excessive swearing, or links to websites that host erotic content. We are family-friendly here. Please also try to refrain from using profanity in comments and posts. Post titles that contain profanity will be removed. If you have something you desperately want to post, please visit r/StarWarsNSFW.
Buying, Selling and Trading 	The sub is not to be used for your own monetary gain and peddling your wares. If a link has an "ADD TO CART" button, it's getting removed. Links for licensed 1st party items are allowed, and can be provided in comments as well. In addition, please refrain from making posts seeking to buy, sell, or barter Star Wars goods. There are plenty of other places for that on the internet.
Memes and Image Macros 	Memes are not allowed at all. A meme is an image, video, piece of text, etc. that is copied (often with slight variations) and spread rapidly by Internet users. Image macros are pictures superimposed with text for humorous effect. Mods have final say in this regard. There are a few options for you to post memes and macros. Try r/StarWarsMemes, r/PrequelMemes, r/SequelMemes, or r/OTMemes.
Politics and Religion 	Real-world politics, Social/Culture issues and religion will be removed. You may reference and discuss Star Wars politics and religion, but keep all real-world references and discussion out of it. All offending posts will be removed.
Sexualizing People or Characters 	Yes, Carrie Fisher looks great in a metal bikini. We've known that since 1983. You don't need to be creepy about it. Keep your comments respectful and respectable. This applies to posts as well.

Copyright Infringement and Piracy	Chances are, if it's illegal, we don't want it here. Don't be afraid to mention your opinions of things like the despecialized editions or fan edits, but if you discuss torrent sites or especially share or ask for any links, expect the bansaber. If content has not been release via one of the Official Star Wars channels, it is considered pirated content and posting will result in a permanent ban. This includes sharing or requesting media that has been pirated by others and posted elsewhere.
Relevant Content 	Harrison Ford grabbing a lemonade in Detroit isn't about Star Wars. John Williams scoring the new Indiana Jones movie isn't about Star Wars. Your order 66 receipt isn't related to Star Wars and is low effort. Exceptions may be made for deaths or birthdays at mod discretion. Mark Hamill's birthday is not related to Star Wars, but Luke Skywalker's is. That cloud you see in the sky isn't related to Star Wars, but your Grogu snowman is.
Post Quality 	Make sure you put some level of effort into your post. If you have a question, elaborate in the text section. If you want to share a cool image, explain why you want to share it in the comments. We don't care so much that you are posting your favorite Star Wars T-Shirt, but put some explanation behind it. Posts that are found to be low-effort will be removed. This also means no surveys, polls, rank lists, AI art posts, etc.
Breaking News Guidelines 	Always link to the original article
Any time you read an article, make sure that before you post it that it's the original source of the information. Check for links to other articles, or lines like "USA Today posted", "via IGN.com", etc.
No editorialized titles
Titles should not be misleading. Include only practical information, and don't exaggerate. When in doubt, copy and paste the headline of the article in question.
In the tragic event of someone important to Star Wars passing away please...
Be respectful and post the news in a self post. If posting the breaking news please put a news link inside the self post. If you are posting a photo, fan art, etc or other link to pay homage please keep these in a self post as well. Thank you.
