Why?

I think emoji are great at complimenting “traditional” written language. They’re really good at conveying emotion, which text isn’t great at.

I don’t think it’s destroying any language development, and if they were, then I find no reason to be mad at that fact.

Also: Apple just revamped all their emoji. http://www.apple.com/newsroom/2016/08/apple-adds-more-gender-diverse-emoji-in-ios-10.html

They aren’t really. An emoji is a pictogram of sorts, and an emoticon is made up of text. Much greater variety with emoji.

Emoticons or emoji?

I agree with the first, disagree with the last.

And to be clear, I do have very specific stylistic preferences.

Burn him with flames.

I actually think my longest posts are when I’m least articulate.

And I’m not going to argue my point further, as I’ve already said what I wanted to say.

Disregard them now.

People should learn to write and learn to write well. Pen and paper are a lost art because of filthy Millennials thinking they’re not necessary because they can just text their friends messages that the government can see.

I do think that Twitter and texting are making people functionally illiterate. If you ever doubt that a significant portion of our population are absolute fools, then take a look at social media. The average message looks something like this:

“U r got to be jk wit me. pics or it didn hapen. Btw, were U at, gurl?”

It gets the point across, which is all that matters.

You’re only making fun of it because you weren’t brought up with it and people are inherently suspicious of the youth. Also, how you write today would be described the same way to people from 200 years ago.

Yes, but misspelling every other word and writing as though you are functionally illiterate looks like shit and makes you look like you have severe mental problems. I make fun of it because it is idiotic.

No, it’s not. I feel that it’s just change. Severe mental problems is a severe overstatement.

You can’t deny that some people do write in the absolute disgusting and pathetic way that I mocked earlier. If that is just change, then it’s regression. And I stand by my statement that comments such as this:

U r got to be jk wit me. pics or it didn hapen. Btw, were U at, gurl?

make people sound like they have severe mental problems. At the very least it makes them look illiterate.

I don’t get how it’s regression. It’s just a different thing.

You would look illiterate to a person from 200 years ago.

I often don’t find it incomprehensible, and most people seem to understand it.

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:

1. Billions of people in the galaxy are Force sensitive
2. Leia isn’t that strong with the force
3. Vader doesn’t have to tell Tarkin & Co. that Leia is Force sensitive, if he even noticed
4. Ewoks were used as a distraction
5. ImperialScum is the One Single Truth

1. Correct, according to Lucas
2. I am not saying that. I am just saying you cannot make empty assumptions that she was or wasn’t.
3. Correct. Her force sensitivity was irrelevant in the particular situation in ANH.
4. Correct. Though Ewoks did contribute significantly, rebels did the main part.
5. Correct.

Nope, you aren’t truth. The only you are is pain to everyone here and a troll with a massive ego.

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.

Nope, don’t accept Lucas.

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.

103 INT SUPER STAR DESTROYER - BRIDGE

Admiral Piett and two fleet commanders watch the battle at the huge
window of the Super Star Destroyer bridge.

COMMANDER
We’re in attack position now, sir.

PIETT
Hold here.

COMMANDER
We’re not going to attack?

PIETT
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.

Now it’s time for us to give up on you.
