We all bitched and complained "When the dvd's come out the debate will be settled!!!oneone111!!!". Well time to settle it.
Debate.

Not exactly surprising given just how unprotected the back of the kneck is.

"The captain claimed our people violated a 4,000 year old treaty forbidding us to develop hyperspace technology. Extermination of our planet was the consequence. The subject did not survive interrogation."
Not very much to debate really. This was one of the things I paid very close attention to watching ROTJ earlier this week (ok, I watched all three movies a couple of times this week ). I've never understood how there ever could be any controversies about this, as it always has been clear to me (and to any sane people) what occured. Dorkstar has many, many points to concede...
Of course, there is a seperate issue of how the arrows penetrated the body glove at all. Those arrows had cut wood tips, didn't have fletching and were flopping in flight around because of it, were travelling dirt slow for arrows, and couldn't have been fired from a bow with a large pull. They should be hard pressed to penetrate bareskin or cardboard, let alone the stormtroopers body glove.
Weird shit.

All you really needed to look at was the amount of dead or wounded Stormtroopers after the big ewok ambush. Not many. That can be seen with the tapes.

That should end any debate on the subject. Even you-know-who can't deny it without pretending to be blind.
What I've always found amazing is his "Stormtroopers are blind" arguement, how Obi-wan waved his hand and ran right past the stormtroopers without them seeing him, so Stormtroopers must have bad eyesight and be stupid.
I've known FIVE YEAR OLDS that could tell that Obi-wan used a jedi mind trick! What do you think the hand-waving was for???
There's a way you can fix PowerDVD, but I forget how. You need to order it to take the capture in the proper way.

Blasters are weak. Using the Leia hit scene as his evidence. Before it wasn't completely clear if it grazes her and hits the wall or hits her arm. You can now tell that most of the hits is indeed on the wall

Actually, I could tell that just with a close look at the picture on his own site.

Yes but it is fuzzy eough to allow wiggle room. Wiggle room is now much narrower

DarkStar has indeed kept on about this using the DVD screencaps. One of the first things he did. +http://st-v-sw.net/dvdtemp.html

Even with VHS it is quite clear it was sharpnel not a blaster bolt that hit Leia.
I have to tell you something everything I wrote above is a lie.

I'm fed up with DorkStar. He's a complete [insert proper word here penis ~Pablo]. I mean, his site has been rather amusing at times with all the "fallacies" he describes (hey DorkStar, have you ever considered buying a dictionary?), but now even the most fanatical of his disciples must realize that he's lost all his credibility. Has he even looked at the screenshots?
To "Fix" powerdvd, (at least this is how it works in version 5.x), go:
Configuration--->
Player Setting tab---->
"Advanced" button---->
Snapshot tab:
(select capture to file) for Default Capture Mode
(select current video window size) for Captured Aspect Ratio
That's when you're running the video full screen and it will capture the aspect ratio (assuming you've selected keep aspect ratio for the widescreen version). That way it captures it how you see it, rather than that weird squished version which is the default.
Good to see another of these arguments cleared up! *thank you George*
He's fucking blind- he really thinks that those screenshots prove his point, never mind that the brown of the arrow runs RIGHT THROUGH the white that he thinks it penetrated.
Of course, he does this by using a horrible quality pic- compare his shit-fuck pic:

ROFL! What a laugh! He puts a picture there that OBVIOUSLY, *OBVIOUSLY* shows Alderaan's shield, and DIRECTLY beneath it, "nothing to indicate a shield". Cracks me up.

I posted a separate thread in the HoS discussing DarkStar's ridiculous response.
With regard to the arrow, the only thing that needs to be said is "Okay. If you have a surface that is penetrated by a line, and you're looking at that surface from the side, are you going to see the surface or the line in the area of intersection? DarkStar says you'll see the line."
