So if something looks clean and shiny, that makes it CGI??? WTF??, Yeah he probably knows what CGI is, but it doesn't sound like he does from that statement. That is a Hayden Christensen in a suit not a computer generated image, so what he said makes no sense whatsoever.

I never said he looked CGI, I said I understand how people could think that it did.

Argh.

Thanks, I never insulted you . And of course you didn't said it looked CGI, the first person whom I quoted did, you came out of nowhere, and brought dumb arguments to try to defend it.


Peace I'm out.

But it's not a dumb argument.

For instance, people thought the clone troopers in Episode II were real, but they weren't. Why is it so hard for you to accept that some people might have assumed Vader was CGI?

Your's is the dumb argument.

That only probes 1) That ILM did a great job and 2) that the people who complain about CGI are usually the ones that can't even detect what is CGI and what's not.

I couldn't care less if he thought it was CGI, what bothered me is that he not only thought it was CGI but he was so quick to critizice that it looked sooooo CGI when in fact it wasn't a CGI shot. Again probing my point that "the people who complain about CGI are usually the ones that can't even detect what is CGI and what's not." and they are just complaining for the sakes of complaining.

What is my argument again? Ohh yeah, that something that is not a computer generated image it's not CGI and that not everything that looks clean and shiny it's CGI. [sarcasm]Oh yeah you are right that is very dumb.[/sarcasm]

And once again I never said that everything that looks clean and shiny is CGI. I said CGI could have that look, in his defense.

You and that other clown, what's his name are just in this to insult others. The fact that you cared enough about a post made a page earlier to quote it and ask whether he knew what CGi was or not and that the other clown would call me a jackass because I said the Vader suit looked different from ANH is sad.

Peace out, homeboy.

Agreed. That would mean that C-3PO at the end of ANH was CGI, and that Darth Vader was CGIed-over in the DVDs (during the Tantive IV boarding)

Ugh, come on Chaltab.

*Slaps forehead*

Here is the original quote, by your's truly:

Quote

There's no denying that Vader looked way to clean and shiny compared to the gritty Vader people know from ANH.


Nowhere in there did I say that as a result of that he really looked CGI. I was pointing out that he looked DIFFERENT, not necessarilly CGI. So as a result of the difference in appearance, some people would be quick to say that he looks CG, which I can understand. Again, I didn't say he looked CG in any respect, escpecially as a result of his "clean and shiny" suit. But at least you had the courtesy to not randomly call me a jackass.

I wasn't talking to you, Justin. No offense intended. I was just responding to frendon...

Saying that if "clean and shiny" automatically meant CGI, then a lot of ancient movies would have "CGI" in them....

Now, my guess is you're either Jimbo, an associate of Jimbo, or just a sad piece of shit that has nothing better to do than go on an internet board and randomly insult people. Fucking clown.

No way...that suit is NEW? What the?! When did this happen???

In case you haven't noticed, CGI has that same kind of look, so I can understand how people could think Vader was in fact CGI.


Dude...FU.

I was just pointing out how frickin' lame your complaint was because you obviously didn't think hard enough while you were bitching.

Well, it all started with that comment he made towards GundarkHunter...

And now he's calling my pointing out how Vader looks different from the Vader from ANH a complaint. Riiight.

But anyway, I call truce because this has been the dumbest argument, no matter which way you look at it. No point in me even defending a position that I don't agree with.

I´m here to insult others? I never insulted anyone, you on the other hand called me a jackass out of nowhere, but you edited it out already, so whocares. And the reason I quoted that guy was because I was reading the whole thread and found his post, and since nobody corrected his "mistake" I thought I would, it should have ended there but you were the one who told me to get of my high horse and tried to defend his point even though you now say you don´t agree with it, then why make a big deal out of it?? Maybe you are just in this to insult others??

Like you called me? Ohh yeah I forgot again, you edited it.

Just a quick reminder, you are talking about 2 different persons here, me and tlbauerle.

Agreed, let's put all of this behind, you agree Vader doesn't look CGI but you see how someone could make the mistake, I´m on the same page but again the only reason I made the post is because it bothered me that he (not you Darth Justin) was complaining about how it looked sooo CGI, and it wasn´t even CGI in the first place.

This is what you said that ticked me off Frendon:

LOL what r u talking about? do you even know what CGI is?


I told you to get off your high horse with good reason. That IS a jackass thing to say to someone, I'm sorry. Just because someone thinks something is CGI and it's not is NO reason to act superior asking them if they even know what CGI is. I know it wasn't directed towards me, but it's just not right to say something like that in my eyes.

And you were right about what I said. You ever think I edited out what I said to you with reason? I shouldn't have insulted you like that.

I never said that if something looks clean and shiny it automatically makes it CGI. You get that but, tlbauerle seems hopeless.

Neither one of us was in it to insult others, but tlbauerle posted two jackass comments in a row, one towards GundarkHunter and the other towards me, actually calling me a jackass out of the blue. Seriously.

Guys, seriously, calm down...this isn't even in the OffTopic forum! And Jimbo ain't around either.
Which is the more foolish, the fool (the OT) or the fool who follows (the PT)?

So: Who did you think was the guy with the messed-up teeth that smiles at Kenobi?

I believe this is Tion Medon, played by Bruce Spence. There's probably more info out there on this character, but I'm trying to stay spoiler free. He's probably the next Lama Su or other such throwaway character with a small part. Not that we don't have enough plot to wrap up with the existing characters, we need to add in more to sell more toys.

Heh ... another great point, Starboy, which raises the question: If Lucas can put his own daughter into Episode I as a slave girl who can afford braces, then why can't Tion Medon? Or on a slightly more serious note, why can THE EMPEROR OF THE WHOLE GALAXY afford them? If anybody needs severe cosmetic dentistry, it's him.
