Consequences? I will have to read through some of the texts.
The Vong indeed remain in the galaxy (or at least, near) for a long time after that, and are actually a big catalyst to future events in the galaxy (Legacy Comics...that's all I will say).
You don't do it nearly as well as you think you do.
Since Luke "dominating" the duel has nothing to do with what I said, I'll be courteous give you 24 hours to provide evidence to show that Caedus did not contend or harm Luke. If, at the end of that time, you haven't provided such evidence, then I will consider this an automatic concession on your part and you'll honor the terms of this discussion by never contacting me directly again.
Hurry up with it.
You mean the environment? Which experienced and skilled Jedi and Sith are often shown exploiting to their advantage? You don't say.
You clearly haven't read the damn book. Do you remember how the fight starts? Luke was going to sneak up and ninjakill Caedus. It wasn't even supposed to be a duel; there was no adequate time for preparation on Caedus's part, unlike most traditional duels. Luke was clearly in a state of battle rage, which would undoubtably enhance his lethality in combat.
Battle rage + an unfair sneak assault before the fight begins = an advantage for Luke.
Ben's stupidity has nothing to do with this fight, since he attacked Caedus as well. A second party intervening on Luke's behalf? Another advantage for Luke.
I can tell already that my interest in discussing this subject with you is fading fast; you demonstrate no relevant knowledge of the source material. In their first duel in Tempest, Luke was critically wounded and disarmed. If you'd like, I can post the relevant text. She clearly kicked his ass, demonstrating superior tactical acumen and skill in combat, for all of his vaunted power.
The fact that he won the duel is irrelevant; it ignores the context. It's rather like saying that Sidious won against Yoda, ignoring the fact that Yoda demonstrated powers and skill that were clearly equal to the Emperor's own.
Context: there was a duel, she fought harder and smarter, he was disarmed and wounded -- the duel ended there; the fight was won when he grabbed a blaster and shot her. Where was that awesome power then?
Their second duel (in Exile?) was a draw; their third duel was won simply because Lumiya lost her fvcking footing. That's it. He didn't disarm her or annihilate her with a dazzling display of skill.
[Kevin Spacey]WRONG!!1![/Kevin Spacey]
Luke believed that the "no name Sith Lord" was on par with the two of them as swordsmen, not as a Force user. When you tell me how resisting telekinesis is a product of swordsmanship, I'll concede.

I only tolerate the overactive egos of newcomers when they're right. From the wording of his posts, he came off with wild accusations that I am the anti-Luke and then asserted that my points were entirely without merit.
[SPOILER - highlight to read]: He was wrong.
It's the same sort of problem HWKN demonstrates that so many people find annoying; he's unnecessarily pretentious and makes arguments about things of which he has no knowledge. The 'Empire' thread is littered with examples of him contending "NO SIDIOUS CANT DO THAT," invariably followed by "OH... WELL WHAT SOURCE?"
If you don't know what you're talking about, you need to be courteous and, if not downright submissive, at least reserved with the people who do.
You'll notice that I don't leap into a thread throwing claims and arguments left and right until I know what's going on.
Though occasionally he can be right, or at least on the right track. E.g. Mara/Vader thread.

Yeah, well I've concluded that all he wants is attention. So I'm truly done with his bullshit until he makes a public apology to the forum for his stupidity.

That's why I took him off of ignore, and tried to give him "how not to be an *******" counseling, but he waved it off. He honestly wants to come off as a retarded gay douche.
At least I didn't blatantly lie like you did. You claimed that I said that Luke could "solo the Empire", but I didn't. I said that Luke + NJO Council could assassinate Sidious, and then the GFFA AND THE REST OF THE FOTJ GALAXY mops up the now-fragmented Empire.
So it isn't just Luke. It's Luke + NJO Council + the GFFA/rest of the FOTJ galaxy.
If I really am I wrong as you claim, you shouldn't have to lie to support your assertion.
Oh, and a while back I DID make an apology thread...and a lot of you laughed at it.

If you were to actually read the posts that you quote, you'd realize that I'm RIGHT; Gideon DID blatantly lie.

That has virtually nothing to do with my post that you quoted.
