I did , but nice attempt at gaslighting , go find another victim , your not fooling anyone .
This is an example of the very disingenuous kind of reactions to OP’s post and the video. Where is all this hostility coming from? I could guess the fan edit crowd might have a large “Lucas bad” segment but this is crazy. Of course, I want to believe everyone here is sensible and more interested in steelmanning than strawmanning, believe in good faith not ego, etc etc, but this thread makes a little bit of a lie of all that. If this is good faith, I’ll take vanilla!
Sparky is definitely strawmanning, by misinterpreting (unintentionally or not) PATENTLY OBVIOUS SARCASM. And this fella I quoted is legit lying and accusing somebody of gaslighting. Kudos to G&G for putting up with all this crap and still responding with both facts and equanimity.
Here is a sarcastic and (hopefully obvious) fake example of the kind of scholarship prevalent in these two videos to illustrate a point, a point that some may willfully ignore if they’d prefer to continue to maintain their rather laughably bizarre fictions (again, just what has Rocket Jump done to merit all this white knightage?):
Rocket Jump’s quote:
“He brought in his wife, Marcia, to help. And that editing was absolutely crucial to the success of Star Wars.”
-Irma N. Truthteller, author of ‘Star Wars and George Lucas’
Nerdonymous’s quote:
“He brought in his wife, Marcia, to help. If it wasn’t for George’s incredible leadership the editing team would have failed the movie. He already had fired one editor, after all! Now he needed himself and three full time editors to bring to life his genius vision. And that editing was absolutely crucial to the success of Star Wars.”
-Irma Notta Truthteller, author of ‘Star Wars and George Lucas Suck Donkey Dick’
No matter what I say, no matter was disclaimers I write, no matter how much I could try to couch all this in pleasantries and good faith, some here will systematically go through figuratively literally all the fallacies to do whatever it takes to misinterpret my point. How strange! But, I’m not a regular commenter here, I just love and appreciate all the work in preserving art done by some of the people here. I’m sure we’d agree more than disagree on most things. Not to mention this thread is three years old, so who cares!
