I am through with this discussion. Reading some of your hair brained bullcrap is really beginning to insult my intelligence, and I really don't care that much about the subject at hand to go around in circles about it anyway.
Oh I see, thinking differently from C3PX = "hair brained bullcrap." Nice to know that. So you see a different way of looking at things and thinking about things that doesn't give in and back down and go "Sorry, I realize I should be thinking like C3PX" and your reaction is to decide that means the thinking must be crap. Because your mind doesn't work like mine then my mind must be full of shit. I'm glad to find out you're so open to other ways of thinking.
Btw, it's "hare-brained", not "hair-brained".
The issue is not so much that you had a differing point of view than C3PX, but that you openly and intentionally abandoned reason and logic because of some vague "implication" that everyone is somehow supposed to pick up on. Allegedly, this is because ROTJ is meant to be a kid's story instead of an adult's story (which is borderline equivovation on your part, BTW, since you've said elsewhere, "Not true at all. ROTJ is mich more adult-friendly than TPM and a very different animal.") Well, I can't dispute your "viewer response" inference, but I personally never picked up an any "implication" that the entirety of the conflict was over after the battle of Endor...not even when I first watched it as a small child. The very idea is absurdly ludicrous to adults and children alike...thus, the "hair brained bullcrap" analysis isn't so far off.
(BTW, needling someone on the basis of a typo is pretty immature. You've made quite a few typos yourself, but I don't see anyone rubbing your nose in them. This is an internet message board; being anal about typographical precision is just ridiculous.)
You are still refusing to understand the principle that just because logic dictates something should happen in the story doesn't mean it happens, because logic doesn't rule in this story. Just because it's a kids' fairytale doesn't mean we should toss out every inch of reason, true. Neither I nor Kasdan nor Lucas tossed out every inch of reason. But where logic gets in the way of where the story needs to go then reason IS tossed out.
This is very silly. What it ends up meaning is "logic doesn't count when I don't like the implications of logical thought." It's particularly odd coming from someone who proposed the notion of three seperate clone templates in AOTC based on the fact that there were three seperate actors used to depict them, and that Boba isn't really Jango's clone since the two actors don't look 100% identical. Looks like you're pretty selective about when "where the story needs to go" counts, and when it doesn't.
Consistency, thou art a gem.
