Meta r/StarWars is going restricted June 12th & 13th due to Reddit's recently changed API policies affecting 3rd Party Apps

632 Upvotes

Hi All,

The subreddit will be restricted on June 12th & 13th.. No new posts will be allowed during that time. This was chosen instead of going private so people can see this post, understand what is going on and be able to comment and discuss this issue.

This is in protest of Reddit's policy change for 3rd Party App developers utilizing their API. In short, the excessive amount of money they will begin charging app developers will almost assuredly cause them to abandon those projects. More details can be seen on this post here.

The consequences can be viewed in this Image

Here is the open letter if you would like to read and sign.

Please also consider doing the following to show your support :

  • Email Reddit: [email protected] or create a support ticket to communicate your opposition to their proposed modifications.
  • ​Share your thoughts on other social media platforms, spreading awareness about the issue.
  • ​Show your support by participating in the Reddit boycott for 48 hours, starting on June 12th.

​3rd party apps, extensions, and bots are necessary to the day-to-day upkeep and maintenance of this subreddit to prevent it from becoming a real life wretched hive of scum and villainy.

We apologize for the inconvenience, we believe this is for the best and in the best interest of the community.

As far as we know, the ability to destroy planets wasn’t really a thing until the Death Star. What type of weapon could cause the destruction seen on Concord Dawn?

TV As an old guy who even saw ep. 5 and 6 in the cinema, I didn't originally like Eps. 1-3 so refused to watch Clone Wars. Until now. For the most part, it's great. So much great content. And fills in a lot of gaps.

Merchandise Old Star Wars DVDs I found on my dad's closet

Little backstory: I was watching through all the Star Wars movies on Disney + when I felt some sort of nostalgia on Revenge of the Sith, then I remember watching the some of the episodes when I was younger on some hotel. I then decided to look around on my dad's closet after watching A New Hope because I remember him having some DVDs kept away that he got before I was born.

I saw this along with other old late 90s movies, it's also pretty different from the ones I saw online, but I decided to share it to you guys!

Take Kylo Ren’s lightsaber for example. Unless his guard was made of beskar, it was only a matter of sliding the lightsaber near the vents and goodbye fingers. But this guard is total kyber energy, making it 100% useful protection
