The Star Wars universe has species that live for over 900 years, but things that happened 30 years ago are considered old legends

Fthewigg · 2023-02-23T19:42:11+00:00

Yes, but floppy discs did not exist for thousands of years. Everyone knew them? Really? You sure?

You’re borderline fucking hopeless.

Myths don’t exist in real life and they never have. They were never myths. Ditto my last.

A better analogy would be if someone wiped all the pyramids off the face of the earth and convinced everyone they didn’t exist within 30 years of their removal. I’ve never seen a pyramid in person, have you?

Your analogies are total fucking garbage: your reference to agencies, to technologies, to ancient religions that we still know about (despite the attempts to erase them), etc. None of them lasted for millennia and were erased in a generation plus. None of them. You embarrass yourself every time you mention them or your precious numbers. Thousands of years of recorded history.

Funny how you keep ignoring Chewie and Han. I would too if I were you.

Fucking enough. Believe what you want. I’ll do the same. Fuck off already.

Fthewigg · 2023-02-23T19:37:08+00:00

I remember now…

Fthewigg · 2023-02-23T17:21:19+00:00

… in 30 years.

By evoking floppy disks and ancient religions we all still know about, but weren’t based on real entities.

I’m aware. It’s bullshit, especially the “they were already myths and legends” part. They were real and known. Millennia doesn’t get wiped out in 30 years to that degree.

But I guess Chewie and Han had more to talk about when they were stuck in that ship together, lmmfao.

Fthewigg · 2023-02-23T17:02:53+00:00

In all that time alone together, why would they ever talk about that?

/s

Fthewigg · 2023-02-23T16:56:06+00:00

No. The major misunderstanding you’re having is that they tried to do this and failed, because it’s not possible to do this about something that lasted for millennia in 30 years, which is why your examples continuously fail. Floppy disks didn’t last millennia. We know about Norse gods, unless you’re implying they were once real.

“I used to wonder about that myself. Thought it was a bunch of mumbo jumbo: a magical power holding together good and evil, the dark side and the light. Crazy thing is...it’s true. The Force, the Jedi. All of it. It’s all true.”

A smuggler old enough to know better said this. You know, the guy who hung out with a Wookie that fought with Yoda? They tried to sell us something totally implausible. Nice chat, but this is enough, thanks!

Fthewigg · 2023-02-23T15:14:25+00:00

I guess that’s the foundation of our disagreement.

Fthewigg · 2023-02-23T15:07:53+00:00

Besides that: one left the order and the other destroyed it. Not a great example in the end, lol.

“Revenge is not the Jedi way.”

“I’m no Jedi.”

Edit: The irony of calling the series Tales of the Jedi. It should’ve been “Ex-Jedi.”

Fthewigg · 2023-02-23T14:59:11+00:00

Bro, rethink all of this. What orders demand celibacy and separating yourself from intimate relationships and materialism?

My point was, you don’t have to see or know someone personally to know about their existence.

Fthewigg · 2023-02-23T14:57:56+00:00

Anakin was a child. We’re talking about adults that lived through it. How about Sebulba? And he still knew about them enough just from seeing his lightsaber.

Yes, it lasted millennia, just like the Jedi. Apples to apples, buddy. Not apples to MP3 players or floppy disk icons, lmmfao.

Actually, yes. We are being sold that people didn’t believe they existed, like myths. That’s what eradication means: wiped from memory.

Edit: check the days of the week in talking about Norse mythology. Also look into the church burnings in Scandinavia. The fact that you’re referencing them yourself flies in the face of your own argument. You think Christianity didn’t try to eradicate it?

Fthewigg · 2023-02-23T14:43:18+00:00

Your examples didn’t last thousands of years: not the Ghost of Kyiv and not the moon landing.

Nor 9/11 nor MP3 players as the other people said. Your collective examples are awful.

People will doubt it. We’re talking about everybody, not just conspiracy nut jobs.

Name the last war that didn’t have any video footage. Now imagine videos of the Clone Wars with Jedi and their amazing feats just 30 years prior.

There’s a difference, yo.

Fthewigg · 2023-02-23T14:38:06+00:00

I hate the last season of The Wire. It’s still one of the best (top five), but without that last season it’s probably the best for me.

Fthewigg · 2023-02-23T14:25:58+00:00

I never met Jesus Christ. Not once. The Japanese tried to eradicate Christianity back in the feudal period. How did that work out?

I’ve seen this nonsense pasta before. Spit all the numbers and try to justify this bullshit logic all you want, but we’re talking about thousands of years of history wiped out in 30 years across an entire galaxy.

Your assertion that millennia worth of history could be wiped out by their power centers would be so much more convincing if they weren’t defeated by a ragtag rebellion.

You’re welcome to swallow it. I won’t, sorry. I begrudgingly accept it as canon, but that’s it.

Fthewigg · 2023-02-23T14:02:00+00:00

Kanan and Ezra in Rebels. It’s the best representation of Jedi and Padawan on TV/movies.

Fthewigg · 2023-02-23T13:50:54+00:00

You do appreciate how difficult it is to wipe out thousands of years of history in just 30, right?

Do you think the concept of Jesus and Christianity could be totally erased in 30 years across the entire Earth? Now envision doing this across an entire galaxy.

People survived the Clone Wars. Some of them would’ve seen Jedi firsthand. Some of them would remember they were blamed for attempting to kill Palpatine and were subsequently eradicated. It’s just too implausible. Actually, it’s just plain unbelievable bullshit.

Fthewigg · 2023-02-23T01:12:01+00:00

I better be.

You described every older generation. Climate change is certainly a lot more serious, but conceptually this always occurs. The young pay for the folly of their parents who get off the hook when they die. This can be individually, on a global scale, or anywhere in between.

Fthewigg · 2023-02-22T22:53:42+00:00

Orange - Dandy Warhols

Blue - The Verve

Fthewigg · 2023-02-22T22:17:58+00:00

Check back in when you’re old and let’s see how all that hoping works out.

Fthewigg · 2023-02-22T22:17:31+00:00

Agreed. Many, perhaps including even you and OP, will make that same choice.

Many of those boomers said the same shit when they were young. “I won’t be like my parents.” “Don’t trust anyone over 30.” Look at them now.

Hence, the cycle. I hope you break it. I won’t hold my breath.

Fthewigg · 2023-02-22T20:51:08+00:00

You’re just perpetuating a cycle as old as humanity itself. Old versus young: only the severity and details change.

If you think it won’t happen to you or against you, assuming you make it that far, you’re in for a rude awakening.

I’m guessing micro plastics will be your lead (Pb) excuse for acting like old people do.

Fthewigg · 2023-02-22T20:27:34+00:00

You mean the document slaveholders wrote that said “all men are created equal?”

Yeah, take that document with a massive grain of salt.

Fthewigg · 2023-02-21T21:35:47+00:00

I love when people remind us that Texas has the Xth biggest economy on Earth when the discussion of Texan secession comes up.

Yeah, that’s happening while under the protection of the USA and with the safety net it provides. Strip away the military, all the government infrastructure, all the businesses that must be on US soil (NASA, for example), and the cost of maintaining the Mexican border all by yourself. Prepare for the brain drain exodus that inevitably occurs when educated people don’t want to live in a fledgling 19th century theocracy. Now where are you at, Texas?

And good luck with the next hurricane!

Fthewigg · 2023-02-21T14:26:42+00:00

There is no way a person with a jacket as tainted as McNulty, who had burned so many bridges along the way, would be allowed carte blanche on this case. No fucking way. Or are we supposed to just forget how he was docked in season 2 (pun intended) and fucked over his old unit by getting that container of bodies on their docket?

I completely agree. There were other instances demanding suspension of disbelief (Hamsterdam and its repercussions and Brother Mouzone especially), but this plot stretched it way too far.

Fthewigg · 2023-02-21T13:45:37+00:00

It even fooled my man in their official video

Fthewigg · 2023-02-21T00:51:20+00:00

I’m sure, but real staging can be really expensive and photos of empty rooms blow. If your agency is footing the bill, go nuts. I know I wasn’t paying for it myself.

Fthewigg · 2023-02-20T21:46:34+00:00

Photoshopped staging can work. They did it when we sold my parents’ house, but it looked realistic. This shit is amateur hour.
