Thank you, Conner, I lost the book it seems here.

Elfie, I take your lack of a point-by-point rebuttal to be an implicit concession of the argument. But you're still quite amusing.
Elfdart wrote:First point. "Beru" would have moved to the side of the stairway BECAUSE the flames wouldn't have billowed in that direction. At least not at first. How do people make it out of homes before the flames get them? The question itself is so moronic it hardly deserves an answer. I'll leave it to Howedar to explain how ANYONE makes it out of a burning building.
Please provide evidence that flames would have "billowed" out of the doorway when there's very little to burn (corroberated by the fact that the other structure is only smoking, not burning like a fucking roman candle).
Did Beru go toward the fire by moving to the other side of the debris? Look at the picture, you fucking cretin. Flames would have come from the doorway, UP the stairs.
Please provide proof.
The wreckage is a few feet to the left of the top of the stairs. AWAY FROM THE SOURCE OF THE FLAMES YOU STUPID CUNT! Moving either to the left or the right would be a way to avoid the flames.
And then she'd go BACK TOWARDS THE HOUSE in order to get behind the debris (as opposed to just moving towards the debris).
And no, in my scenario "Beru" is NOT burning to death, asshole. Part of her clothing is on fire. Yet another attempt by Howedar to put words in my mouth. What a dick!
Forgive me, so only her clothes are on fire. In what way does that semantic nitpicking disprove my point?
Another Howedar trick is the harebrained leap of logic. I mention the stormtroopers falling backwards when shot with blasters. He then (grasping for straws) wants us to believe that Beru Lars, a pudgy middle-aged woman (or Owen Lars, an old man with a beer gut) clothed in baggy burlap should be able to clear a staircase
Yes, people without armor and running for their lives tend to move faster than those wearing many pounds of gear.
soldiers who have reason to believe they face death if they can't catch escaped prisoners -and are running on a flat surface. Only in the Bizarro World of Howedar is this clownishly stupid idea even considered. But I'd better answer lest my own personal cyberstalker get upset and ...what?
I needn't point out that this is not in any way the case. Unless the hyperdrive was tinkered with on the Falcon just for the hell of it.
The clothes on Owen and Beru have only started burning when the troopers shoot them in my scenario.
Please provide evidence that clothing will catch on fire from blaster shots. Note that this has not been seen in any instance of people being shot by blasters, including all of those onboard Tantive IV and Leia on ROTJ.
The troopers leave them for dead just like they did the Jawas. If the troopers are going to go to the trouble to put gaffi sticks and bantha tracks around the sandcrawler, why are no such things present at the Lars home? Isn't it more likely that they left the Lars' farm without going to much effort to cover their tracks?
Canonically, the only reason Luke returned home poste haste was because he knew the droids were being searched for. Why would the Tuskens search out his droids?

Fucking tard. You missed the entire point of the camoflauged attack on the Jawas (to keep anyone from knowing the droids were being searched for).
Howedar is no longer here. Need to talk to him? Talk to Pick.

If Elfie decides that Owen and Beru escaped a flaming building before they got outside, I believe this adequately explains my rebuttal. Hopefully Elfie can decipher it.

Nice, notice how Elfdart slows down, previously he had his ready made posts, now that hes used them up, shows his idioticy, Elfdick, can't you just take a hint and conceed? conceeding is natural, and everyone does it.

Is it a stupid troll pride?


Anyway, im off, its nearly 1AM, and im not wasting precious masturbatory time on you :wink: :P
