Official Thread: Hayden Christensen replacing Sebastian Shaw as Anakin's Force Ghost

Which would be...?

You know, Fenn, if you don't have an interest in actual clarifying discussion and are only here to give smug half-responses, maybe you should go away.

 

I guess the only way to combat logic is with a wisecrack.

With that excuse, anything can be explained away. I'd use that judiciously if I were you...

 

If something isn't SHOWN in the PT but is not CONTRADICTED by the PT, it does not need "explaining". I guess you need George to explain why he didn't follow your imaginary rules.

 

Tell that to Go-Mer. He's the one saying Jedi don't actually die, but give themselves to the Force.

Do you read only the first few words in a sentence and then hit reply? My statement is pretty black and white. Anakin didn't die when the Vader persona arose.

What does that have to do with the statement I made? Anakin had become Vader, but never lost his true self, only buried it. Your comeback was "tell it to the people on Alderaan or Captain Antilles." To which I replied that the original poster wasn't referring to the deaths Vader caused, only this supposed "metaphorical" death of Anakin. Try to keep in focused on the point next time.

 

The old "Go-Mer Distraction" strategy. Well, thanks for the update, I guess.

"Metaphorical" does not mean "literal". Period.

Everything.

 

You were the one who brought it into contention. Now you run away and push the emphasis on Go-Mer. Sad. You don't mind using quotes from other people when it suits your side of an argument, but when those quotes are picked apart, you blame the originator of the quote.

Which is why they are two separate words, to use your line.

Another non-answer.


The knee-jerk gainsaying of what others post does not constitute a valid argument. Surely you can do better.

 

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.

Which begs the question of why you insist they must have the same definition.

Or is it... the answer to the question?

 

Twist, twist, twist...

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. If you can't understand this simple idea, please don't bother trying to debate this point any longer. You see? I do understand the difference between metaphor and reality. You can stop using that lame comeback now, k?

How is "everything" an answer to a question? That's pretty all-encompassing, no? A person with any debating skills at all would go into detail. Apparently you'd rather make a pointless post and then run. Why?

Focus....

Metaphorical still does not mean the same thing as literal, and Lucas still pwns you.

I guess if you say it enough times it becomes true!

It's an answer to the question "What's Antilles got to do, got to do with it? What's Antilles but a second-hand Alderaanian? Who needs a neck when a neck can be broooooken?"

 

Alright mods, time to step in and stop this antagonistic, trollish behavior from Arawn_Fenn. I don't want this thread to be locked because of one sad individual. Thank you.

 

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.

 

Blah, blah, blah. If you had any decency in your character at all, you'd drop the arrogant act and try debating like a normal individual. Life isn't always about clever quips and appearing better than everyone else.

Let's get this thread back on track now, please.

 

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?

Translation: a thread is only "on track" if no one challenges your stance.

 

Will you STOP?!?!?!



Back on track, PLEASE.

 

I've been on track the whole time.

Shaw is too old.

 

The personal attacks stop now or I lock the thread.

 

I'm actually locking it now. I said one more strike and the thread gets locked. I think the personal attacks, trolling, baiting, discussion of fans instead of films, etc. in the last fifteen or so posts qualifies as as a strike.

This thread will either be reopened or restarted in a few weeks or months. You all need time to calm yourself and come back with cool heads. I don't want to see any PMs saying it was so-and-so's fault, either. There's lots of blame to go around between some of you.
