Whenever I see him go off on Wayne, this is what I always picture.

And given this, Scooter wants everyone to believe that Lucas knows exactly how Star TREK canon works!

While many older ASVSers, and even SDnetters wonder why give a fuck, I find enjoyment or anger when you bring up this garbage. It shows many of us, that really when one goes "He's a fucking nut.", we're not maligning a person who's askew from us, but truly a fucking nut.

Absolutely! I passed this around to a few friends, and 90 minutes of hilarity ensued! He tries so hard to look like a pseudo-intellectual, but he just can't pull it off! He's a fuckin charlatain in clown shoes!

2. Leland Chee, Lucas Licensing, who said the quote "makes it sound like the EU is separate from George's vision of the Star Wars universe."

Notice how by leaving out the word “You” he attempts to change the meaning of the quote. I also could not find the quote on the linked page either.

That's an interesting spin. Chee said "the quote you provide makes it sound like the EU is separate from George's vision of the Star Wars universe." From DarkStar's point of view, Lucas is 100% correct in this quote and nobody can contradict him. So he picks out where what Chee said could confirm that DarkStar's interpretation of the quote is valid. But he also considers Chee to be superceded by the quote.

Thus, when Chee says "it is not," DarkStar considers Chee to be wrong. But when Chee says the quote "makes it sound like" they are different, DarkStar considers Chee to be correct. Essentially, Chee is "correct" when he agrees with DarkStar, and "wrong" when he doesn't.

Also, DarkStar's epiphany that Wayne's write-up was intended as a persuasive one is perhaps one of the biggest "duh" red herrings I've yet seen. Has he not noticed that writing persuasive documents is one of the cornerstones of versus debating? (Discussions of canon policy don't exactly fit well into the other cornerstones: the scientific method and application of physics and other sciences.)

I volunteer to be in the Rabid Newbie Pit you inevidably throw Dorkstar into in your next Scooter-bashing-fic.

Stealing is wrong, Mr. Poe! Naughty, naughty!

I'd like to point out to everone that while we were out having fun, this guy spent his saturday night writing that up.

LOSER!

Lord Poe, I found another interesting George Lucas quote. In an interview with Wired magazine (the May 1999 edition), George Lucas said the following:

What about the reports that Episodes 7, 8, and 9 - which exist in novel form - will never reach the screen?

The sequels were never really going to get made anyway, unlike 1, 2, and 3, where the stories have existed for 20 years. The idea of 7, 8, and 9 actually came from people asking me about sequels, and I said, "I don't know. Maybe someday." Then when the licensing people came and asked, "Can we do novels?" I said do sequels, because I'll probably never do sequels.
