Arawn_Fenn posted:Just because we didn't see it doesn't mean it didn't happen.
Grand_Moff_Jawa posted:With that excuse, anything can be explained away.
Arawn_Fenn posted:Grand_Moff_Jawa posted:How do you just shrug off such a valid point? That never happened. Maybe you're not getting it.

Arawn_Fenn posted:Grand_Moff_Jawa posted:He didn't die, metaphorically or otherwise. No one can ever die metaphorically as long as you continue to insist that the definition of "metaphorical" is the same as the definition of "literal" in order to prop up your failing stance. Lucas says otherwise, and he's the authority.

Arawn_Fenn posted:Grand_Moff_Jawa posted:He's not talking about the death of the people on Alderaan or Captain Antilles, is he? He's referring to Anakin and only Anakin. Anakin never met Captain Antilles, did he?

Grand_Moff_Jawa posted:He's the one saying Jedi don't actually die, but give themselves to the Force.
Grand_Moff_Jawa posted:Anakin didn't die. Period.
Grand_Moff_Jawa posted:What does that have to do with the statement I made?
Arawn_Fenn posted:Grand_Moff_Jawa posted:He's the one saying Jedi don't actually die, but give themselves to the Force. Which has nothing to do with me or what I was saying, the old "Go-Mer Distraction" strategy. Well, thanks for the update, I guess.

Arawn_Fenn posted:Grand_Moff_Jawa posted:What does that have to do with the statement I made? Everything.
Grand_Moff_Jawa posted:You were the one who brought it into contention. Now you run away and push the emphasis on Go-Mer. Sad.
Grand_Moff_Jawa posted:Which is why they are two separate words, to use your line.
Grand_Moff_Jawa posted:Another non-answer.
Arawn_Fenn posted:Grand_Moff_Jawa posted:You were the one who brought it into contention. Now you run away and push the emphasis on Go-Mer. Sad. Yeah, I'm the one who always brings up Go-Mer when the other person's arguments aren't suitably Go-Mer-esque. Focus... focus.
Arawn_Fenn posted:Grand_Moff_Jawa posted:Which is why they are two separate words, to use your line. Which begs the question of why you insist they must have the same definition.
Arawn_Fenn posted:Grand_Moff_Jawa posted:Another non-answer. Or is it... the answer to the question?
Grand_Moff_Jawa posted:Twist, twist, twist...
Grand_Moff_Jawa posted:How many times do I need to explain it to you? The only, ONLY time Anakin dies, metaphorically or literally, is at the end of ROTJ.
Grand_Moff_Jawa posted:You see? I do understand the difference between metaphor and reality.
Grand_Moff_Jawa posted:How is "everything" an answer to a question?
Arawn_Fenn posted:You tried that already, remember. Contradicting your dismissal of the English language is not trolling. Neither is citation of the author, whose stance ( as usual ) is being ignored.
Grand_Moff_Jawa posted:If you had any decency in your character at all, you'd drop the arrogant act and try debating like a normal individual.

Attacks on my "character" will get you nowhere. The evidence is right there in the thread, and you have nothing to counter it with so you're resorting to threats. Does that count as a "win" in Internet land? Grand_Moff_Jawa posted:Let's get this thread back on track now, please. Translation: a thread is only "on track" if no one challenges your stance.
