Visas Marr and Rey
So the new GL Rey does not have the Jedi tag, even though she was a Jedi in the movie (this is not TFA or even TLJ Rey) and she has the Heir of the Jedi ability. Ok, she doesn't have it for balance re...

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.
Debatable.
"Debatable"? Implying that you yourself do not take it seriously?

Separately, straw man fallacies are not the same as logical fallacies, and neither of them apply to anything I've been saying, especially since "dumbing something down" is not the same as changing it.
Just a heads up a Straw man fallacy IS a type of logical fallacy. Not something we should really be debating. Just do a bit of research.
And here is the definition (I will post the source in a comment bellow this one if you want to see for yourself) of a Straw Man fallacy just for reference:
"Substituting a person’s actual position or argument with a distorted, exaggerated, or misrepresented version of the position or the argument."
Notice the "distorted" part, and the "misrepresented" part. If you wouldn't consider my argument,
"It was more about the lessons behind them. The meaningful dialogue was what made it so significant. Yoda’s lessons about the temptations of the dark side, about how size does not matter in the force, about how the dark side is the lesser but more tempting aspect of the force... you wont see any of that in TLJ or TROS. Training isnt just about training the body, it is about learning wisdom and understanding of the force."
to be misrepresented and/or distorted in your summary of it,
"Ahh, so it's Jedi training so long as you chat a bit afterwards, of course."
then I do not know why we are even debating this. You "dumbing down" my argument meets the exact criteria of the definition of a Straw Man fallacy.

As I said before, try smaller paragraphs.
I just write as much as I have to in order to bring my point across.
