Maybe you need to watch Empire Strikes back again just to see what Jedi training actually is. Empire Strikes Back is the fan favorite Star Wars movie for a reason.

Or I could watch something new and ignore the demands of someone deciding what is correct based on personal biases. On a separate note though, dumbing down an argument shouldn't make a difference, it's right because it's logical, not because you used lots of paragraphs.

Everyone, including both you and me, have their biases. I accept that. Personally, I identify as some sort of Star Wars “purist”, only wanting and accepting that which meets the high standard that George Lucas set when he made the original films. All I want is to see Star Wars at its best.

For instance, the Marvel-like action and humor seen in the newer Star Wars films is something that angers me, because it belittles the dialogue and character development. Marvel does it because they know that adults running around in spandex costumes shouldn’t be taken seriously, so they add in the humor in order to make it more entertaining. But Star Wars SHOULD be taken seriously. Notice how Lucas didn’t resort to Marvel humor to entice audiences when he made the original films.

Dumbing down an argument in order to make it easier to pick apart, if anything, hurts your logic because you aren't actually basing your arguements around mine. You are basing them on a weaker version of my arguement that isn’t an accurate representation of what I am actually trying to say. Straw Man fallacies are logical fallacies for a reason.
