"Sullust To Endor" Now Online!
Moderator: Vympel
Holy shit that website must be the epicenter of web stupidity. Did it ever occur to those fucktards that the Ewoks lured the stormtroopers and vehicles toward the traps and catapults rather than moving the catapults towards the bunker? Who says the Ewoks didn't rig up traps to try to deal with the Empire (or other critters on Endor) before Han's team arrived?
This not only makes more sense, but matches what we see in the movie: The Koala bears attack then scatter, drawing the Imperial troops away from the bunker and into a number of tricks and traps and ambushes.
Darktard's version: the Ewoks spent several days cutting wood and vines to make traps and siege weapons, then spent more time moving them up to the area around the bunker.

Without the Imperials noticing, either. Oops, I forgot -- the Ewoks were beneath the Empire's attention, because they totally wouldn't have noticed major construction work going on around a secure facility.Elfdart wrote:Darktard's version: the Ewoks spent several days cutting wood and vines to make traps and siege weapons, then spent more time moving them up to the area around the bunker.
Nah. As I recall, Darkstar is a hardcore Republitard, too. Go figure.SancheztheWhaler wrote:What a bunch of dildos - are we sure that Darkstar isn't the same guy who made the Loose Change videos?
A Government founded upon justice, and recognizing the equal rights of all men; claiming higher authority for existence, or sanction for its laws, that nature, reason, and the regularly ascertained will of the people; steadily refusing to put its sword and purse in the service of any religious creed or family is a standing offense to most of the Governments of the world, and to some narrow and bigoted people among ourselves.

Who is like God arbour wrote:I don't see the point of your video. Sure it was funny, but it has no substantial worth as regards content.
Your only argument in your whole video seems to be, that it would be boring (or unfitting), if the movie would have shown scenes as you have created them. That's correct. It would be tremendous boring. That's why such scenes weren't shown in the movie. But that doesn't mean that similar things haven't happened.
* Why could it be impossible, that the Emporer has decided (off screen), to let Luke be put in a cell until shortly before the Alliance arrives?
* Why could it be impossible, that the task force on Endor has needed much more time (off screen) than a few minutes to find the shield control room without being detected by the enemy?
* Why could it be impossible, that Leia, as she has said any moments and not, as you have falsified, any minutes, wasn't sure about the exact time, the Alliance will arrive?
* Why could it be impossible, that, as it happens often in movies, the shown scenes aren't played back in the order they have happened?
It's a pity that you have not countered important arguments, which confirm the notion, that more time than a few minutes have passed.
I think, the most important argument is, that it should be impossible for the Ewoks to build their traps as shown in the movie and described in the novel in a few hours without alerting the enemy.
Maybe you should have shown, how the Ewoks could have done it.
And maybe you should have explained the changing shadows between the time, the Alliance Task Force enters the tunnel and the time, the Imperials are entering the tunnel.
These arguments are known to you. They won't vanish only because you ignore them. To be honest, your video is preposterous and doesn't show much sharpness.

Though used to great effect by 9/11 conspiracy nuts and Michael Moore-types, the 'persuasive video' genre suffers from its own goal and medium . . . not to mention its maker. Emotional impact is employed in the place of factual impact . . . much like the whole style of SDN debating.
In this case, Wayne has attempted to mock a demonstrable timeline by making up silly ideas of what people were up to during off-screen hours. That's all well and good . . . we generally have no real idea what anyone is doing during off-screen hours . . . but does that change the length of time required for Ewoks to dam a river, dig AT-ST-size holes, and dangle giant logs dozens of feet in the air with primitive stone-age tech? Does it change the length of time likely required for the stealthy approach of multiple people to a guarded entrance?
Of course not.

Its amazing how Darktard continues to prove how ridiculously seriously he takes this whole thing. A video that even many of his cockgoblins can easily see is a PARODY, yet he takes it as if he and Wayne are still debating. Well, I guess he need to feel that SOMEONE cares about him enough to want to talk to him.

Great video Mr. Poe, great video.
Also, on the note of SFJ something is really REALLY bugging me about their assumptions.
They say that the Ewok traps couldnt have been there before the Rebels came, since the Empire has scouts in that area. They also say that the Ewoks took a long time to build those traps AFTER the Rebels came. So, the traps cant be there before, and they cant take long to build or the scouts find the traps. The only logical conclusions (It seems to me) is that the Ewoks built the traps in a SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME.
Oh Jesus....

This from the supposedly fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy.

Why take three weeks to get back to Tatooine to give Jabba the money, if the Falcon can make the trip in only a day or two? I find it a bit of stretch that Han would be screwing around for nearly 3 weeks when he could just immediately get his cash, refuel the Falcon, maybe rest a day or two, and be back on Tatooine to settle the account with Jabba and be free of harassment.

The fact that Han mentions anything length of time, they will make their own presumptions and take anything out of context, and since it has a time component it implies it will take Han that long to travel.
Really, after a while this is why you stop debating and do shit that Wayne does. You will never make these retards concede or even admit in their basement virgin lives that they are wrong. So you resort to mockery and have fun.

Yeah, why would Han tell Jabba three weeks? It makes perfect sense to give him the bare minimum amount of time it takes to get there and back. It's not like he needs any leeway in case things go south. Jabba is a very understanding individual, and doesn't really needs the money anyway. What's he going to do, send bounty hunters after Han?...Oh wait.Mike DiCenso wrote:From page 108 of the ANH novelization Han says this to Jabba:

Their theory must explain this to event pretend to be truthful. It's like having the USS Yorktown steam for Midway with its entire air wing airborne the whole time, only landing occasionally to refuel. I wonder who would've won that battle in this situation.
What a fucking moron.* Why could it be impossible, that Leia, as she has said any moments and not, as you have falsified, any minutes, wasn't sure about the exact time, the Alliance will arrive?
So Leia "wasn't sure about the exact time" to the extent that she can't tell the difference between "any moment" and "several days".
And he even accuses you of dishonesty for using "minute" instead of "moment", as if there's any significant difference between the two whatsoever.

Three weeks time might have had nothing to do with the travel time at all. Han probably just threw out a number long enough away to, as he felt, give him plenty of time to get to Alderaan and back and give him plenty of lead time to get all he needs done before hand. 3 weeks could havge just been an easy to remember number and nothing more. Remember with 15% interest it is in Han best interest to fly back as soon as he could to pay Jabba. 3 weeks could have been simply don't charge me anything for 3 weeks and I'll have it to you in that time.KhyronTheBackstabber wrote:Yeah, why would Han tell Jabba three weeks?
