Perhaps they'll be quoting him on his "official canon" bullshit soon, too. That'd really be somethingStas Bush wrote:I love that debate.
A: "Show canon evidence that the Death Star destroyed planet without the energy necessary!!!"
B: "Well, look at this DArkStar PAGE!!! It's frigen good explanation!!!"
A: "I said CANON evidence, idiot".
And no one pointed them to Ossus' and/or Wong's demolition of that "argument". Won't anyone explain to these idiots that "your theory doesn't explain everything" does NOT lead to "chain reaction".Stas Bush wrote:I love that debate.

Once more, incontrovertible evidence that they're morons. Darkstar's writing is intelligent-sounding, so people who are incapable of distilling his long-winded bullshit down into a few propositions take him seriously.General Schatten wrote:Oh My Fucking God! They're actually using Scooter as an example of why the Deathstar causes a chain-reaction in the argument.
Han Solo at Star's End also specifically includes scalable hand blaster firepower.Connor MacLeod wrote:
We know the DS superlaser was scalable, and that was confirmed by the EU. We know hand blasters have variable yields/settings (WEG's Star Wars sourcebook and the Star Wars Technical Journal) There were also the "splinter shot" settings (which were adjustable) in the NJO. And I believe Darksaber makes mention of weapons settings at "maximum". So whoever said that is lying.
And even if it weren't true, game mechanics/stats aren't considered canon (Chee made that poitn explicitly clear, as I recall.)
As for understanding logic or physics... I've a college degree, with a minor in philosophy, so I have a pretty good grasp of logic thankyaverramuch.
Need a golfclap emote for this kind of debating. Also honourable mention for him saying your visual evidence means nothing!Except the novelizations aren't canon
Does he give his name, alma mater, program, and year of graduation for verification purposes?Meest wrote:Two gems from their new champion of retardation.

The problem is, demanding he prove his credentials would no doubt be construed as a "personal attack" or "aggressive post" and the questioner would be banned or the thread locked (or both!).Darth Wong wrote: Does he give his name, alma mater, program, and year of graduation for verification purposes?
Who cares? For "Mysterious Unknown Chain Reaction" proponents, it benefits them not at all- because they're all Darkstar acolytes who reject the EU at first instance.Darwin wrote: right after quoting the Dark Empire Sourcebook as the only canon source mentioning a specific lack of Alderaan's shields. CURSE YOU WEST END GAMES!
I'm bored of it, myself. I don't see what else is going to be accomplished there, unless there's some new outrageous claims made that are easily debunked.General Schatten wrote:So are we ready to get back on the offensive?
The Dark Empire thing was made before Special Editions and thus Special Edition takes precedence, thus meaning Alderaan had a shield.Vympel wrote:I'm bored of it, myself.

The shield effect was arguably easier to see in the original theatrical cut. But really, as I said, this is a here nor there argument. No one who accepts the canonicity of the EU can get any traction for inane Death-Star-Chain-Reaction Bullshit Arguments. Ignore the shield issue, it's a waste of time.General Schatten wrote:

do?
