Yup. Got it. Said I got it. Not allowed to comment further? I had an issue with the guy and I'm expressing dissatisfaction with it with you all.   Dispicable is a reach though...you have to admit. Bad taste, yes.

As Mandy says....Necro's work here is done once again. Maybe you ought to listen to that. What's that saying???     Maybe he should just ignore me as well, no? C'mon.

So you can be a total jerk off jack ass....so long as you're not a jerk off jack ass back.   Got it.   Back to being the good poster I am. We'll continue to have our threads ruined by some other jack ass other than myself. Cool. No, as I said before, you were not receiving blame for what was going on. Necro was clearly wearing his SW troll hat and was having some fun at you SW fans' expense. It's not the first time he's done that ("It's what I do," he says. ).   My only point to you and Cocky was, maybe it's better to just ignore him? Don't feed the troll? All he wants is for you guys to react to him, so don't give him what he wants. But I guess it's hard to do that.   A troll is someone who stirs the shit just to get a rise out of people. Necro, you're not a troll, but you act like one sometimes. I know you do it just for fun, but it disrupts threads. Can't you just leave it alone? I know you'll come back with a shitload of laughing smileys now and say how much fun all this is.   "Oh, you guys are so easy to get worked up! "

I don't own a Taun Taun toy or anything, but I loves me the films.   I used to collect comic books too. Still have #3 Amazing Spider-Man, if Power Puff is interested in an acquisition.

I was wondering where everyone in SOCN was.

 

[Presto-digitation]

I think the origins of Vader's uniform are over-thought. I think it's ok that certain things simply be "cool" with no specific logic or discernable origin. Sometimes we try to make logical conclusions from preposterous notions to begin with....like lava planets and how realistically they probably couldn't even breathe (or not melt) that close to near such an active lava flow.

It's called "artistic license" and it helps the story flow better. The whole idea of Star Wars is ludicrous from a scientific point of view from the distances they travel to the sounds in space to how a light saber could actually work. But who cares, the story is fun and the science behind it isn't important.

[Presto-digitation]

(see....you post Star Wars and no one's around. You punch someone in the nose and it draws a crowd).

[Tick]

I have been having a great time reading this thread, so thank you to all contributors.

 

Ok, now to the point of my post. I have been reading the shark feeding frenzy against Presto Digitation. The guy made a post in poor taste, and he knows it. His body of work on this forum should soften the mistake as far as I'm concerned. He is a member who as best I can see, has never stirred up any shit in his time here ? We all make mistakes on the internet. We have all taken the bait before. We have all typed without thinking.

I know it was anger and annoyance speaking when he typed his post, and so does everyone here.

In my opinion its not that big an issue. (as I said, MY OPINION)

Lets face it, drama is entertaining and we all feed off it at times.

Cheers all !

 

and lets face it, if Necro was going to kill anyone it would be in lipstick and lingerie, not clown makeup.

Well yes, we've all done it. That doesn't make it all right, though! However, it does make it easier to understand why someone else does it and should lead in a better direction than a bashing contest.

Maybe it would've made more sense with bigger and stronger Wookies, but I guess it's a David v. Goliath thing...as well as nature v. machine.

Gone is the really annoying Ewok song, and they replaced it with better music and showing celebrations taking place all over the galaxy, which far more accurately depicts the scope of the victory, not just some little primitive celebration on the moon that happened to house the force field for the Death Star.

But who cares, the story is fun and the science behind it isn't important. You got that right, and it didn't matter to Lucas either:   Han Solo: "You've never heard of the Milennium Falcon? She's the fastest ship in the galaxy. Made the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs."   I guess we're SUPPOSED to be impressed that the Falcon is fast by this statement.   The problem is that a parsec is a unit of distance, not speed.   Yeah, I'd say that the science is secondary.

[Presto-digitation]

I never knew what a parsec was, quite honestly. I'm not terribly science-minded though, I confess.

 

Look at how many Dutch-speaking folks knew Vader really was Luke's father before it was confirmed in Jedi..!

Yeah, I've always liked this aspect of Jedi as well. Some of those SE changes are pretty suspect IMO, but at times they made good sense...and that was amongst the BEST of them. It always seemed really isolated that only the folks on Endor were appreciating this victory, so the trip through Coruscant, Naboo, etc. was really a plus in my book.   Weeesa FREEEEE!!!!
