He was saying that Vader wasn’t actively fighting when he threw the objects at luke, and he’s correct. Vader was either simply holding his saber down, or was holding a block.

A saber lock is still fighting as both people are trying to gain leverage. They’re still technically fighting.

I get that, I was just saying that the facts he stated about Vader’s movements were true.

So. Much. Quoting.

Quoted. Awaiting next quote.

Seriously? You’re quoting my quote on quotes? All these quotes are totally nonthreatening.

I don’t believe for a second that any of these posts are in danger. And I still won’t believe it after they’re deleted.

Is there an ‘endless quoting’ thread in Off Topic?

-This quote will self destruct whenever the mods say so…-

I’d also like to add that Kylo was pretty much an angsty teen who was proving his loyalty to the gang, and that he’s ‘real bad’, by swiping the Butterfinger from the grocery store. Or, in this case, by murdering his father, with whom he obviously didn’t have a good relationship anyway.

Did you just compare a petty crime to patricide? Wow…

I didn’t compare the actions, I compared the characterization of Kylo killing Han to another point of characterization. Kylo wants desperately to be evil (for some reason), so he wants to prove to himself that he can be ‘so bad’, by killing his father. And as I said, I don’t think their relationship stretched that far in the first place (that’s just what I picked up from what we saw/heard in the film).

Killing someone disarmed doesn’t count :\

Isn’t this exactly what a villain would do?

Anyone can kill someone unarmed with no skill, that’s not threatening :\

Tricking your father into believing you’ll come home and end this path of evil you’re going down only to stab him and tell him “Thank you” is pretty heinous dude. I don’t even think Vader would do something that vile. Much less to a family member.

Vile, but not threatening.

Last movie seen
Time

Just rewatched the 35mm Jurassic Park and the DVD of The Lost World today, because my mother wanted to watch through all four films again (1&2 today, 3&4 tomorrow). JP was just as enjoyable as ever before. The Lost World, on the other hand, just gets worse every time I watch it. It’s just such a cash in sequel; it has no cinematic value.

Jurassic Park – A

The Lost World: Jurassic Park – C-

socks were cool

EDIT: I feel stupid. I was going to quote this post of mine to make a new post just to make the post quicker, but I apparently clicked Edit instead without noticing until I had saved changes. Now I don’t remember what the original post was, nor do I remember what post was being quoted for the original post.

EDIT 2: Half fixed. Now I just need to find the post it was from…

EDIT 3: Totally fixed.

What Didn't You Like About ROTS?
Time

I thought those would be considered other races. It’s like this; Hypothetically, I (as an American) am totally fine with people from Japan, but I hate Africans because they’re negro. Just because humanoids are okay, doesn’t mean it’s not racist. The Human race is a thing. We as a whole are a race. Rodians are a race. Hutts are a race.
We shouldn’t get in a big argument about something like this, but I just thought that the usual term would work fine in context.
