EDIT: I also would expect fewer grammatical errors from a scientist. I mean really, just because you live in Japan doesn’t mean that you have to down so much saki!
Speaking of errors… sake is sake, not saki.
If you’re 30 and acting like this (or even like you did before all of the shtick) then you need to reevaluate a few things man.
At this point it’s probably too late for him, assuming he’s not lying. He’s apparently not a good scientist either because I don’t think that too many scientists would argue that being a 600-pound diabetic has no correlation with poor health.
I have never said anything about any specific weight. In fact I argued the opposite. My my main point was that everything is specific to an individual specimen and you cannot just generalise with terms “over-weight” and “unhealthy” to the entire population. And I most certainly did not claim that some who has diabetes is healthy (as that is a disease in the first place).
Ray_afraid and moviefreakedmind, thank you for sharing your experience, however I cannot relate to it. As you said, you just thought you were smart (despite evidence of contrary) and then eventually realised you are not. On the other hand, I was always a scientist and questioned everything rigorously. When I was a kid I was reluctant to just conclude I am smart, despite various clear evidence supporting that. But after 30 years of various clear evidence I just eventually had to conclude the obvious.
All this thread does is get him to act more like an asshole. He’s desperate for attention since he lives in Japan and doesn’t speak either Japanese or English. He can’t communicate so people just ignore him.
Ah yes, it must be so.
Btw, you acted like an asshole to me. I just put you in your place.
I’m actually genuinley curious as to why you act the way you do. I’m sure you’re probably around college age, and a lot of people go through a phase in which they think they’re better than everyone so idiots like you really aren’t uncommon at all, but your schtick is taken to an almost comical extreme. I suspect that you are actually pretty arrogant, but amp it up online for attention because you know you can’t get away with it in person.
Again, your assumptions are wrong.
And like I said, I gave my opinion on Olympic games in the appropriate thread, while you acted like an asshole to me for whatever reason. Just what kind of reaction did you expect after that? I simply put you in your place.

Oh goodness. We all know you speak Japanese, it doesn’t help the fact that you’re a troll.
His mommy and daddy paid for his study abroad and it went to his heads I bet.
I am sorry to inform you that your assumptions are wrong.
Olympic games are extremely boring, especially when considering the astronomical amount money being wasted for them. There are only a few sports worth watching (like basketball). The same goes for winter olympics, where ice hockey is the only worthy thing.
Yikes, you’re barely literate.
I don’t expect a peasant to be familiar with an advanced form of language I use.

It is kind of sad that in TFA, where they should have come up new stuff, they used TIE vs X-wings, while in R1, where they should stick to what we see in ANH, they are making up new stuff.
Anyway, U-Wing long front-facing wings look ridiculous and useless. A very bad design.
You and your buddy Frink are making off-topic posts here. I might remind you that such behaviour is against the forum rules.

I don’t know about claiming.

Well according to “original” Lucas everyone can have the same abilities if they just train hard enough.
Not canon
Well “original” Lucas is definitely more canon than “special edition” Lucas.
When it comes to a lot of things, yes. Everyone being able to use the Force is not one of them as it would demystify it.
Well it is not good but it is certainly better than force potential being hereditary (which is a nod to midichlorians). In ideal world force potential should be completely random.
Well Anakin is the father of Luke and Leia and they both ended up being Force Sensitive but I doubt that’s specific example doesn’t bother you.
Well I could accept that Luke just happened to be force sensitive by a chance. But Leia being too smells of heritage (and midichlorians). I guess that is the only part of ROTJ that bothers me.
There could have easily been a spiritual/cosmic/whateverthefuck reason for that. It doesn’t need to be microorganisms
If we forget about midichlorians, it is still presented as hereditary process rather than something spiritual and random.

Nope, you aren’t truth.
Well technically I am just an interface between humans and the truth.
ImperialScum’s arguments break my brain.
Are you even reading any of this? I’m not bothering because at least 50% of it is “I’m the truth.” Try to guess which 50%.
His arguments basically boils down to:
- Billions of people in the galaxy are Force sensitive
- Leia isn’t that strong with the force
- Vader doesn’t have to tell Tarkin & Co. that Leia is Force sensitive, if he even noticed
- Ewoks were used as a distraction
- ImperialScum is the One Single Truth
Who says he didn’t sense it? Just because he didn’t spell it out load for you it doesn’t mean he didn’t pick it up. It was just insignificant in the situation. He only said it out loud in case of Luke to inform his TIE flight because it was relevant to the battle. Luke was a serious potential threat because of it.
We make fun of Ric being Captain Obvious in PT and spelling everything out loud, but it seems there are people here that actually need it.
He could have sensed it but the fact that would omit such a thing from Tarkin when the topic of her resisting the mind probe is improbable. Also it seems Vader was talking to himself when he said the Force was strong with Luke. The TIE Pilots wouldn’t even be able to appreciate how much an advantage being Force Sensitive could be in such a circumstance.
Just how would such a pointless information help Tarkin? The reason for her resistance to the probe is inconsequential and it wouldn’t change absolutely anything. If anyone had any skill to break her that way, it was Vader. He clearly couldn’t do it even if he knew she was force sensitive. Reporting the details and reason for his failure to Tarkin makes no difference or sense. Asking Tarkin for an advice on a matter (force) that he had no clue about (and which was actually Vader’s expertise) makes even less sense. Above all, in the end Tarkin had his own method that was inconsequential to the force.
What yhwx said
What I replied to him.
Having someone who is strong in the Force like Leia is is something important. If he did sense her it was something he at least could have mentioned in passing.
That is assuming she was exceptionally strong. She could be simply strong and therefore nothing special. And we have been over why conveying this kind of pointless information was pointless.
“The Force is strong in my family. My father has it, I have it…my sister has it” no where in that conversation where Luke says “You have a strong connection to the Force but not as strong as mine”. Also like I said before they’re twins; it wouldn’t make any sense if one ended up being stronger in the Force than the other. Finally Leia had to be as strong because she is the “other” Yoda was speaking of. I didn’t hear Obi-Wan saying she was inferior in terms of her potential. It’s not an assumuption like the ones you’ve been making; what I’m saying actually has merit.
Well I didn’t hear Luke saying “you are as strong as I am”. He simply said he has the power too, no mention of magnitude. I didn’t hear Yoda saying “there is another, just as strong” either. It is your assumption.
“At the center of the movie is a lot of exposition, it’s a lot of explaining what has happened, and why things are the way they are. In this particular case, there is a whole issue of Luke’s sister, and you know, the fact that they were twins. Which is an element that has to be revealed, which comes in later, in terms of who is the ‘other’ that was talked about in Empire Strikes Back. And how could that person become as powerful as Luke? Well obviously if they were twins, then if she were trained, then, she has the same abilities as Luke has. That becomes an important issue, especially in terms of resolving all the love triangles.” - George Lucas, ROTJ DVD Commentary.
YOU’RE WRONG
Well according to “original” Lucas everyone can have the same abilities if they just train hard enough.
And besides, Tarkin didn’t seem to give a shit about that kind of things. Another reason why conveying such a pointless information to him would be, well, pointless.
There’s nothing in STAR WARS that suggests he dismisses the Force outright. He is incredulous to believe that Obi-Wan is alive and thinks Vader is the last of their religion but nothing more.
Well there is certainly way more evidence that he didn’t give a shit. Because there is none that he would possibly do.
What evidence?
ANH.
Care to provide a line of dialogue?
Let’s take Lucas’ “everyone can do it”. I am sure if he was into that kind of stuff he would pick some of the crew who happened to be exceptionally strong in the force and make them “powerful” allies.
That might have been a secondary objective during the battle. But the primary objective before the battle was obviously protection.
That’s not what is stated in the film. Again, you’re projecting headcanon onto what actually happened in the film.
What is stated in the film is a temporary tactical decision in the battle, not the purpose of the fleet’s presence (before the battle).
From the script.

I have my orders from the Emperor himself. He has something special
planned for them. We only need to keep them from escaping.Exactly supports what I said… it is a battle related tactic not purpose of fleet’s presence.
There’s nothing in the script that says that the fleet is there to protect the Death Star but what is in the script indicates that they’re there to stop the Rebels from escaping. Just admit you’re wrong dude.
Don’t be ridiculous. You are taking it out of context. You simply don’t understand the meaning of the scene. And you don’t understand what is the context of “We only need to keep them from escaping”.
I will explain it to you again (for the third time, this one is last). The scene conveys what a tactical order for the fleet was during the battle (portion of it anyway, as TIE fighter were attacking and later trying to prevent rebel ships from entering Death Star). It has nothing to do with overall purpose of fleet’s presence before the battle.
I don’t care about your headcanon. Either pull something directly from the film or don’t respond. I’m tired of your half assed rationalizations.
The “We only need to keep them from escaping” being a tactical battle decision is part of the script/film. “TIE fighters protecting Death Star by trying to prevent rebel ships from entering it” is also part of the script/film.
For one the TIE’s more than likely came from the Death Star. Secondly, that has nothing to do with the Star Destroyers and the Super Star Destroyers keeping the Rebels from escaping.
I give up on you. Last time was the last time.

There were billions of other highly force sensitive people across the galaxy.
Is there a canon source you can cite that says there are billions of Force Sensitives that are strong in the Force?
The source is Lucas himself (during OT era).
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/22/star-wars-prequels-return-of-the-jedi_n_3313793.htmlA majority of the ideas he had at the time didn’t come to fruition. If anything you should be trying to pull something from TCW.
I don’t pull anything from crap material. The only thing that matters is OT.
And even if they are strong I doubt they would have the potential that is akin to a Skywalker.
Supporting midichlorians idea, aren’t you? Disgusting…
…
I think it’s safe to say you’re full on trolling.
Unfortunately I am not. You are supporting midichlorians. Equal power among twins is basically what midichlorians would be about.

and it would be foolish not to alert Tarkin of someone who could be a powerful ally if they could be turned. Hell, Vader even tells Luke if he doesn’t turn to the Dark Side that he’ll try to turn Leia in ROTJ.
Powerful ally? She seems pretty worthless in ANH from that perspective.
A Skywalker? Worthless? What?

If Emperor would be into such allies, there was far better material out there (plus ones that might actually like Empire to begin with).
It still wouldn’t hurt to at least try to turn her like he tried with Luke. Also let’s not forget that Darth Vader was once a Jedi Knight 😉
Again assumption that she was something exceptional.
In ROTJ Vader tells that to Luke simply to make him angry.
Fair enough but if Luke were killed or taken out of the picture turning Leia would be the next best thing.
Again assumption that she was something exceptional.
We don’t know her force potential anyway. It could be way below Luke.
They’re twins…

Because it those two cases it was a relevant information. A small fighter with force sensitive pilot was a threat (as proven later in the film) and Obi-Wan did actually infiltrate the Death Star. Whether Leia was force sensitive or not was absolutely irrelevant.
Sometimes people say things that are irrelevant to other people.
