I never got into Star Trek much... How often to main protagonists die (without coming back somehow) or at least get injured by energy weapons?

If we're talking Storm Troopers, they were never intended to kill Jedi....I mean they are a front line of defense but they haven't a prayer against OP space wizards that can drag an entire enemy armada from the sky with just a thought.  Those things are for killing droids and regular soldiers and mercs and shit like that.  Not Jedi other than on a fluke.

So if you're waiting for a Storm Trooper to ice Luke, then that's gonna be a tall ass order.

Kinda why in the midst of it all, only Jedi kill other Jedi for the larger part.

I'm 100% with you on your OP btw. It's a writing cop out. I'd love to read/watch anything with realistic smart weapons. It's just easier to write the classic point and shoot firefight that we're used to.

If we're talking about the antagonists, well chances are there weapons are like drone strikes: only as effective as their intel.

Stormtroopers never killed, despite many opportunities, Luke (before he became a Jedi), Laia (I don't know if she became a Jedi somewhere along the line, but she definitely wasn't in A New Hope), Chewy, or Han.

As I said, they had no chance of killing Luke.  There was a breakdown of just how OP Jedis are.  Even at point blank, the force would do some freaky shit to protect him.  Jedi are generally only bested by other Jedi...It's ridiculous to even consider they get get owned by a stormtrooper.  I don't know about leia at all. Han and Chewy are battle worn...I'm sure they've been shot despite it not being a thing in the actual films.  Han professing that he shoots first is a testament that he's been shot before and learned his lesson.

Ok first of all, Luke was not a Jedi until at least Empire Strikes Back. Stormtroopers were shooting at him in A New Hope when he rescued Laia.

Bullshit, you're fucking retarded if you think that logic holds water. Your screen name is cyberbully for crying out loud. That, and your behavior says it all. You know what you're doing and you think you have a reason to be proud of it. Bitch assed fuckin troll piece of shit.

It's a message board, and you knew I could see what you were posting. It's the way you present your arguments. You want me to have a victimhood issue because it would be convenient and inflate your troll ego. I'm not a victim, I called you out and all you can do is make shit up dude.

So if you can see it, it's directed at you?  Please, just take a moment and consider what you said.  I made a comment that was specific to the poster I quoted.  It had nothing to do with anything you said previously because you had already pissed a hissy fit.

Hell, I'm almost convinced you're the one trolling, trying to drag me back into a circular conversation with you since I moved on from our original dialogue.

I say almost because I'm actually more in the camp that you may be off some sort of medication because we have other users that tend to have outbursts like this and they usually say it's a result of them being off their meds.

Dude, you're still making shit up. I've never needed medication, I don't have prescribed medication that I am not taking. You're making a lot of assumptions about my personal life now with zero evidence as to what I have going on that regard, which is is strong evidence for my case that you're trying to paint a picture of me being crazy, which is obviously gaslighting. Like I said, it's the way you present your arguments: it's not a friendly "I happen to disagree" it's more of a "I'm taking a big fat shit on what you said to gaslight you" type of vibe. The content of your post attempted to tear down the content of the OP in this way, and quoting someone else and saying you weren't talking to me is just a childish excuse.

Sure, this isn't textbook gaslighting at all. I totally buy your story that I'm crazy and am going to go cry in a corner now. Get real you fucking troll.

I already explained what you did, and the bits you quoted weren't the parts that demonstrated that you're making childish excuses, which is, again, extremely convenient. How does not quoting the parts that demonstrate what you actually did change anything? The only thing that draws attention to is what you're trying to draw attention away from.

I'll repeat myself: While you were quoting someone else,  the content of your post was in clear opposition to the content of the OP in a toxic, gaslight-y tone. You've been caught with your hand in the cookie jar, dude.

Well, you have successfully derailed the shit out of your own thread.

I deleted nonsensical parts of your post to save space, not in some nefarious attempt to hide what you said.....I mean it's not like people can't see what you posted, I just responded to the parts that needed responding to.

Not sure why you're using the word gaslighting...I'm not trying to convince you that you are crazy...I'm just saying that your paranoid assumptions are fucking crazy.  I use crazy instead of stupid because I'm trying to be as amicable as I can about this ridiculous exchange.

Caucht with my hand in the cookie jar?  Dude, if I was trolling, everyone would know it.  I'm very hands on.
