You just are not prepared to even consider that I could possibly ever be right about those faces. You've never even considered it.
Of course I considered it. And if I actually offended you during our discussions, don't act like I've never made an effort to be nice to you.
You got offensive with me before I got offensive with you. In fact, you seem to like making unprovoked attacks me on. The ongoing trouble between us was started when you made one such attack that hit me out of the blue. I was shocked and really bothered that somebody was eager to be so malicious. You have continued your bullying of me since then. I don't know who called who narrow-minded first in all the back and forth we've had, but I think there's a very good chance it was you.
Actually, it was you.
No, what I'm saying is that if the Lucas creates a mess the EU can't excuse it.
Well the EU has, is, and will continue to reason and excuse whether you like the idea or not.
The films should work in and of themselves. Something in a film should not require material outside of the film to make it work. And the prequels all too often seem to need outside material to make them work.
I agreed with this. Stop reiterating to compensate for lack of substance.
It worked by itself to me. I never "required" information on the material when it came to Anakin's breathing. Only when running across the EU reasons for Vader's breathing pecularities did I even see that the answer to the "issue" aligned with everything I had assumed from seeing the film, only given more detail. In the film, we see Vader drenched in rage, with his eyes aglow while. Therefore, I drew the connection myself that the dark side played a part in his ability to survive such horrible injuries. There's that, and the fact that I know even from that film alone that his destiny might have been to be the Chosen One. "It was said that you'd bring balance to the Force, not leave it in darkness." The Will of the Force, the dark side, and a destiny all played a role on keeping him alive on Mustafar. And I saw him in the Medical Chamber being rebuilt and suited up. The medical droids obviously had something "up their sleeves" so to speak, to help him breathe without the mask in those moments.
So it didn't "require" an explanation to me, Vaderisnothayden. The explanations provided are a little something extra, and they work for me personally. You've made it clear it will never work for you.
