Do you think Grand Moff Tarkin survived the Death Star Explosion? — Page 4

Must be bedtime for even the mightiest of Skywalkers.

Ok you want DEFINITIVE PROOF that Star Wars is a SPACE FANTASY?

DIRECT FROM THE MOUTH OF LUCASFILM.

You can't get any more proof than that. So sorry, you are soooo wrong. Subject CLOSED

Yes, but that doesn't deny the science fiction elements........

Even with it coming direct from the creators of the saga you still try to convince yourself that you are correct, when in fact you are just making yourself look more and more stupid with every word ;) Or you are just one of the biggest trolls here. I wonder why so many places banned you?

Must resist...............

....won't...post......'Erica With Gun' picture..........

Gee i hope not seeing as how Boba Fett could not stay until they killed him off permanently i hope this time.  And they brought back Darth Maul, and don't forgot the emperor's clones.

Honestly just like in star trek when they brought back Spock i thought it cheapened star trek II and Spock's sacrifice as the director did.

But since you cannot have star trek without Spock i make an exception in that case.

Boba Fett's initial revival did not really bother me for the sake of the comic books and EU as much as it did seeing him in star wars with a cgi Jabba.

Honestly only bringing Darth Maul back to life seems incredible stupid, as did making Boba Fett no longer a Mandalorian.  Making him be a kid and a stupid clone of the lame Jango fett guy who cannot act or do voiceover for Boba Fett in Empire Strikes Back well at all.

Not sure if that prequel-ism  is something i hate as much as seeing Yoda with a lightsaber in the prequels or clone wars, i cringe every time i see it.

Lucas really did ruin Boba with Episode II. Now I know that  every appearance he'll have in any movie or show or from now is going to remind me that he's just some lame clone, and because he's such a hugely popular character, you know he'll be back as often as they can manage, and that means I'm going to have to put up with Daniel Logan's voice instead of someone doing a Jason Wingreen impression (and that's another damn thing, if the guy was cloned from Temeura Morrison, why is Daniel Logan always being looked at to be Boba Fett? He looks and sounds nothing like Temeura, obviously, because he's not a clone. Ugh.)

I would say he's still technically a Mandalorian, though, because he's Jango, and Jango is Mandalorian. And beyond that, in EU terms, Mandalorian is more of a culture than a race or people, so as long as he was brought up like a Mandalorian, he is.

Darth Maul should never have been killed in the first place. After the super hype machine of TPM plastered his visage on everything, he should have been the main villain of the Prequels. I know this point has been run into the ground over and over, but it's true; after three movies, people would be fine with him being dead for good, but since he was only in TPM for like ten minutes total, people got the Boba Fett Syndrome with him and he had to be brought back by Lucas because he's can never commit to killing a character that becomes popular.

Thankfully, Dave Filoni is making it all bearable so far and it's not as incredibly stupid as it could be, since Dave actually gives a shit about Star Wars.

The original thread was a joke because it's pretty obvious to everyone that the dude blew up like a Roman candle.

No. Tarkin is deader than a doornail.

There was no clone, there never was and never will be (you can look it up on Wookieepedia if you don't believe me); Tarkin very obviously died on the Death Star when it blew up.

Are you reading any of these posts? Does everything have to be documented in the most minute detail for it to have or have not happened?

What does that mean?

No - the logic (as per FS's analogous thread) goes as follows:

Is there any actual evidence that Tarkin died?  Does any source actually say that he died?  If you can't produce some actual quote that says specifically that he died, then it is reasonable to imagine that he survived.

The good news about this, is that the same logic can be used for each of the remaining thousands of inhabitants of the Death Star, which in turn means that maybe the Rebels didn't kill anyone at all.  In fact, the only person we know anything at all about who was on the Death Star was Vader, and we saw him survive.  So the Rebels really are good, all they destroyed was the Death Star itself... all the people survived because there is no specific mention anywhere of any particular person dying.  Empire=bad, Rebels=good.  QED

I'm sorry but FS also believes that the Empire is good for reasons unknown.
