What would Darth Vader have been like as a ruler, if he had overthrown emperor palpatine and became the emperor/ruler of the galaxy himself??
Time

No. I am done with you professionally.

I will not bash my head into the brick wall of your neuroses again. I can only hope that, one day, you take a good, long look in the mirror and finally understand what it was all about.

Thank you.

Take the twooffour Pledge (Pledge is Suspended - See Post #121) (At one time thread was about DOGS WEARING HATS)

Yeah...

I have a bad habit of picking at scabs like him. I can't help it; but after he posted that Lucas quote that last time for the tenth time, I realized I was done.

I still don't think he's trolling. I think he's just... well... dumb. Maybe I'm wrong, but it just doesn't feel intentional to me.

When did The Empire Strikes Back become more highly regarded than Star Wars?

Please point me to EU sources confirming explicitly that there were drafted soldiers and innocent five year-olds on the Death Star at the time of its destruction.

As the movie states: the Empire is evil, the Rebels are good. Star Wars takes place in a black and white morality. And we are coming full circle in this discussion.

That user was wrong.

 

And I am sorry, but I cannot and will not continue to explain that the official stance of Lucasfilm is that all EU is on the exact same timeline as the movies while you continue to ignore it.

I just can't do it anymore.

The EU and the films are not two different timelines/storylines because, officially, all EU is on the exact same timeline as the movies.

Your analogies about Spiderman do not apply to this situation because, officially, all EU is on the exact same timeline as the movies.

You say that you don't want to make up your own canon and want to know what the official copyright owning people say? They say that, officially, all EU is on the exact same timeline as the movies.

Again. Officially, all EU is on the exact same timeline as the movies.

One last time: Officially, all EU is on the exact same timeline as the movies.

I didn't see any women or children on the Death Star in the films. Please stop only using the EU when it is convenient to your point. Either use it or don't.

The Death Star was a military weapon with a military purpose, manned by military personnel and in military service. It was therefore a military target. In a war, a military target is a much more acceptable thing to attack than is a civilian target.

Many ships were sunk during World War I, but none of them made half as much news as did the Lusitania. That's because the navy ships were acceptable military targets, and thus acceptable casualties of war, no matter how many of the men had families; where as the Lusitania was an unacceptable civilian target and this an unacceptable innocent casualty.

You don't just help enemy combatants to escape. The point is to defeat the enemy, and when they are about to blow your planet up, you don't stop to evacuate everyone while they blow your base up in the meantime; you kill them as quick as you can to save your friends. Beyond that, every single person on board the Death Star at Yavin was complicit in the destruction of Alderaan, making them all war criminals; women and children, drafted soldiers or contractors. There was not one innocent person on that station.

High taxes, trade rescritions, no personal rights and freedoms, are what Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker's epic and dramatic redemption is about???? No!!!!!!!

So, millions of people with families that they loved and cared about and who grieved for their losses were horribly burned to death in two fiery explosions

Just so people could have lower taxes????? What the????????

What about all the innocents who died on Alderaan, a civilian target? Did nobody there have families? Those attacks were unprovoked. If Princess Leia stole the plans, shouldn't they have killed her instead of blowing up a whole planet full of people who had nothing to do with the stolen plans and were peaceful, happy citizens of the Empire?

The Death Stars, however, were military targets, controlled and manned by military personnel, all of whom joined the military knowing the risks of being in the military. No peaceful innocent citizens on those at all.

You can mention the EU expanded universe in your posts, just tell me if it's EU or not.....

Please mention the EU a bit in these discussions, but don't rely on it 100%, don't rely on the films 100% either, I use both of em!!!!!!

Please give me a quote to prove where Han Solo said that nobody lived on the icy planet of Hoth. Maybe in the Expanded Universe they live on Hoth.....

Meh, I don't all that much about cloud city, so I can't say anything or respond to ur posts about it.....

"There's not enough life on this ice cube to fill a space cruiser."

Maybe the EU (the expanded universe) mentions that there is life on the planet of Hoth

What the hell/heck does Hoth have to do with anything in our discussions????

I don't even know, you brought it up!

Missed the joke by a mile.

An Empire founded before there was even a Rebellion, and killed lots of people in the process of an orchestrated war to create it.

I know that already, they started the clone wars to get to power. That doesn't explain anything about what life was like for imperial citizens. They all seemed pretty happy, very happy, regardless of the unjust methods that their leader came to power with.

Do you have any examples of how happy they were?

While democracy is the most ideal form of government, the lack of democracy, ie, a dictatorship, is not all that terribly and mythically evil, just some dictators and tyrants are......

Tattoine, everybody was walking around and living a normal life....

The same thing with Cloud City....

The same thing with Hoth....

The same thing with Endor-no Ewok genocides or massacres going on there.....

Going from the movies alone, with no EU:

The Empire did not control Tatooine, the Hutts control Tatooine. The Imperial presence there was looking for the droids only.

The Empire did not control Cloud City, it was neutral, as Lando said; and when the Empire started to take Cloud City over, you'll remember that everyone ran for their lives.

Nothing lived on Hoth, as Han said. The only people living there were Rebels.

Nothing but Ewoks lived on the Sanctuary Moon; and they were a primitive civilization and weren't even a concern of the Empire, the Empire just put a base there.

I'm starting to realise that father Skywalker is actually a 12 year old girl, which would explain the immature posts and the fact that they thing that episode 3 is better than the OT. Puberty can do strange things to people ;)

Im not a 12 yr old girl. Im neither of those two adjectives.........

I am actually interested in your real age, from a demographic standpoint.

i aint a girl, first of all....

That is not the question I asked.

I am just curious as to what your age is. I know how old most everyone else here is already, but since you're new I would like to know. It's a completely innocent curiosity.

You can even PM it to me if you'd like.
